  WHY TAB SUSPENDER PRO?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
  Chrome allocates 50-300 MB of RAM per tab. With 20+ tabs open, that's easily 4-6 GB of memory wasted on tabs you're not even looking at. Tab Suspender Pro reclaims that memory by suspending inactive tabs using Chrome's built-in discard API.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
  Unlike other tab managers, we don't replace your tabs with placeholder pages. We use Chrome's native suspension, which means:
