About

This extension will automatically invoke the browser's Memory Saver feature to prevent tabs from loading when they are restored, without disrupting your browsing session. If you keep lots of tabs open, this can prevent resource allocation to tabs you will not use. Each tab will load when activated.

Feature: Pinned tabs will be unaffected (but Chrome may decide not to load them).
Limitations: The first tab in the window may also be unaffected.

Going offline? If you need to restore tabs before disconnecting from the internet, click the Restore Suspended Tabs button in the popup.
