About

Too many open tabs slowing down Chrome?

LightTabs automatically suspends idle tabs after a time you choose, helping reduce RAM usage and improve browser performance.

Stay productive without closing your tabs.

Why LightTabs?

When you keep dozens of tabs open, Chrome consumes large amounts of memory. LightTabs intelligently detects inactive tabs and suspends them safely.

When you return to a suspended tab, it reloads instantly.
