Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

When you open Chrome, start up Chrome... Chrome might restore all your tabs from your last session. This extension will unload all those tabs, so you aren't wasting computer resources loading those webpages.

As soon as you click on an unloaded tab, it will load the webpage as normal.

Firefox browser does this by default, and now, with this extension, you can have this feature in Chrome too.

It was also pointed out to me, that you might want certain websites to never be unloaded. For example, your email. So, there is a settings page where you can add websites that you NEVER want this extension to unload.

Why did I make this?

I didn't like that I would open Chrome and all my tabs would start loading. I don't need all of them to load, I might not even click on most of them. I liked that in Firefox, I didn't need to worry about how many tabs I had open, since I knew when I restarted the browser, none of those tabs would load until I clicked on them (but the tabs were still there, ready to be clicked if I wanted them).
