I have switched to The Great Discarder, by the same developer.

Advantages over The Great Suspender: - More memory savings - Compatible with chrome tab syncing - Super lightweight extension that uses no content scripts or persistent background scripts

Disadvantages over The Great Suspender: - No visibility on which tabs have been suspended - Unable to prevent a tab from reloading when it gains focus

Word of warning!

I just switched to The Great Discarder from The Great Suspender. You probably want to resume all suspended tabs back, because if you will remove The Great Suspender extension suspended tabs will get closed.

Other then that it was what I always wanted from The Great Suspender (or the browser) in the first place.

This is an amazing tool, IMO. It saves my laptop's battery and memory. A big +1 for the great suspender.

This looks nice!

As I enabled it, I got the normal warning about "This plugin can view all data" etc, and I started looking for a plugin that can show me what servers plugins are connecting to... it seems there is no such thing. Perhaps time to re-enable little snitch.

OneTab is another one to look at. It bundles the tabs into a list instead of leaving them open.

You can also turn tabs into a webpage of a list of links. Very useful for sharing.

For those who don't know: the warning is on any extension that can read and write to the DOM or the page state.

The Great Suspender swaps the entire page out for a placeholder until you re-activate the page.

Nice. I also have blocked JS global in Chrome and activate it on a per site basis.
