Auto Tab Discard is a lightweight extension that automatically reduces Chrome’s memory usage by discarding inactive tabs — safely and transparently. It uses Chrome’s native tab discarding API, so your tab state is preserved and instantly restored when you return. No hacks, no session loss, no tracking.
Why it’s different
Native & reliable: Built on Chrome’s discard API for speed and stability.
Preserves flow: Keeps your tab groups and window layout intact.
Privacy-first: No analytics, no external servers. Settings sync across your devices via Chrome Sync.

Works on Brave better than the other tab discard extensions, but settings don't save. Defaults are to only become enabled with over 50 idle tabs, which is too high for me. But it doesn't save when I adjust this and hit Save. Please fix!
