I built this Chrome extension to solve my daily RAM problem. Chrome was constantly eating 8-10GB of memory with all my open tabs.

Smart Tab Suspender automatically suspends tabs you haven't used in a while, freeing up memory without closing them. Click back on a suspended tab and it instantly reloads.

Key features: - Auto-suspend after configurable idle time - Whitelist for important tabs - Manual suspend/unsuspend options - No data collection or tracking

On my machine with 50+ tabs, it reduced Chrome's memory usage by ~60%.

The extension is free and open to feedback. Let me know if you have suggestions or find any issues!
