Best Extension to Suspend Inactive Tabs
person Patrick Bushe · calendar_today April 10, 2026
Leaving forty tabs open ensures you never lose a link, but it cripples your computer's processing speed. The absolute best extension to suspend inactive tabs without breaking them is the Tab Manager. Unlike Chrome’s built-in memory saver, this tool allows for extreme granularity. You can permanently whitelist specific high-priority domains (like your email or Spotify) so they never suspend, while the extension aggressively unloads all your inactive Wikipedia and Amazon research tabs into deep sleep mode automatically.
