About

TabCost helps you find the tabs that slow Chrome down — fast.
See which tabs are using the most memory, which ones are “busy”, and hibernate idle tabs to keep your browser smooth.

Why you’ll love it
Instant visibility: See per-tab memory (JS heap) + an activity estimate
Find offenders quickly: Filter All / Heavy / Idle 10m+
Search tabs: Find any tab by title or URL
One-click cleanup: Hibernate (discard) idle tabs to free resources
Keyboard friendly:
↑ / ↓ to navigate
Enter to hibernate selected
Esc to clear
Ctrl/Cmd + K to search
How it works
TabCost measures performance signals locally in your browser.
Some restricted pages (like chrome:// or system pages) don’t allow measurement—those tabs may show unavailable metrics.
