About

Potatofy is a lightweight, open source Chrome extension designed to optimize browsing on Raspberry Pi, older hardware, and low-resource devices.

Features:

🚫 Block Ads & Trackers — Automatically blocks ads, trackers, telemetry, and unnecessary web fonts from 50+ known sources. Keeps pages fast and your data private.

⏸️ Auto-Suspend Idle Tabs — Idle tabs are automatically suspended after 5 minutes, freeing up RAM and CPU. Instantly resume when you click back.

⚡ Disable Background Scripts — Stops JavaScript from running on hidden tabs, preventing memory leaks and unnecessary processing.

✅ Smart Whitelist — One-click whitelist for sites you trust. Override blocking rules per-site with a single click.

Why Potatofy?

Raspberry Pi and low-end devices struggle with modern web bloat. Potatofy strips away unnecessary overhead—trackers, ads, auto-playing media, and hidden scripts—so you can browse faster with less RAM and CPU usage.

Lightweight. Open Source. GPLv3.

No telemetry. No unnecessary permissions. Just faster browsing for devices that need it most.
