Lazy Tabs: Discard Inactive Tabs for Better Performance
Lazy Tabs is a free Chrome add-on developed by Jman that aims to improve memory consumption and reduce unnecessary bandwidth usage. This add-on automatically discards all inactive tabs (except pinned tabs) either at startup or on demand, with just a simple click on the icon.
One of the main features of Lazy Tabs is its ability to discard tabs at startup, which helps to free up memory and improve the overall performance of your browser. By discarding inactive tabs, Lazy Tabs ensures that only the tabs you are actively using are kept open, reducing memory usage and enhancing the speed of your browsing experience.
Lazy Tabs also provides the option to manually discard tabs by clicking on the icon. This feature is particularly useful when you have a large number of tabs open and want to quickly free up memory without the need to close each tab individually.
What sets Lazy Tabs apart is its commitment to privacy. It does not track your browsing activity or require any unnecessary permissions. The source code for Lazy Tabs is openly available on GitHub, allowing users to review and verify the code for themselves.
Lazy Tabs is a valuable tool for those who want to optimize their browsing experience by reducing memory consumption and unnecessary bandwidth usage. With its simple and straightforward functionality, Lazy Tabs is a must-have add-on for Chrome users.
