Вполне себе заменяет Great Suspender, остальные клоны которого после обновления Chrome начали дико глючить.

reserve one star for an expected function: the discarded page WILL NOT be immediately active when I click on the tab or switch to that page. What happens now is that if I click on the tab which then shows that page, it automatically reloads and release discard. Is it possible to display something on a discarded page saying that this page is discarded, please reload to release discard? Reason being I might accidentally clicked on a discarded page so to bring it back to active, which result in that page starts to consume memory. I would like to have a "double insurance" to prevent that from happening. Thank you!

Generally works and helps keep ram/cpu use lower in chrome. I'm leaving a 3-star review for two reasons: First, during it's "scanning" interval when it's going through tabs the cpu use gets hit to where anything except work in the terminal becomes quite aggravating and laggy. I've tried adjusting the timers and that does help some, but it has to run sometime and it always seems to fire up at inopportune times. The other issue is that settings are not necessarily reliable. I have had tabs playing media suspend right before my very eyes, had a timed online school exam become suspended while I was in the exam. Thankfully this does not happen too often, but it's a pretty big flaw. Still recommend it if you can deal with it.

I've noticed an accumulation of renderer processes in the Chrome task manager when this extension is enabled, whereas normally there is a single spare renderer process that seems to get repurposed for different sites. With this extension activated, the spare renderer process seems to crash and instead is replaced by a pile of renderer processes that get started but never automatically killed so it could get to the point of there being 10 of these renderers, which to some extent defeats the purpose of having an extension to reduce memory usage. I've noticed this with all extensions that use the native Chrome tab discard functionality.

Could have more user friendly or easy to use if it has all keyboard shortcuts and coming to working it does what it says.

The extension works on one machine but not on the one I really needed it to work on. Tried resetting the settings to factory and still no dice. Tabs never get discarded.
