About

Short Description:
See exactly how much memory each browser tab is using. Find the heavy ones and close or suspend them instantly.

Detailed Description:
Your browser is slowing down. Now you can see exactly why.

Chrome is notorious for eating RAM. Tab Memory Monitor shows you a live breakdown of memory usage across all your open tabs - ranked, color-coded, and always up to date.

What it does:
- Opens to a live ranked list of all your tabs by memory usage
- Color coded: 🟢 light, 🟡 moderate, 🔴 heavy
- Shows each tab's share of your total JS heap (e.g. "23%")
- Measures all tabs instantly when you open the extension — no waiting
- Auto-refreshes every 5 seconds while open

Take action:
~ Suspend a tab to free its memory completely - it reloads automatically next time you visit it
~ Close a tab directly from the list without switching to it
~ Sort by memory usage or name

Lightweight and private:
^ No sign-up, no account, no cloud
^ Your data never leaves your browser
^ No analytics or tracking of any kind
^ Works offline

A note on the numbers: 
Tab Memory Monitor measures JS heap memory per tab - the JavaScript memory each page is actively using. This is a subset of Chrome's full process memory (which includes GPU buffers, caches, and shared memory), so numbers will be lower than Chrome's built-in Task Manager. The rankings are accurate and reliable for identifying your heaviest tabs.
