Hello Product Hunt! 👋
I built Tab Freezer because I desperately needed it myself.
I'm a tab hoarder - 100+ tabs open at all times. My laptop was struggling. I tried other tab managers but they either closed tabs (losing my workflow) or were too complex.
Tab Freezer does ONE thing well: freezes inactive tabs to free memory. They stay visible but stop using resources.
The testing surprised me: 84 tabs open, 3.1GB swap saved. That's the difference between "laptop crawling" and "laptop running smoothly."
How it works:
- Freeze current tab or all inactive tabs with one click
- Tabs restore instantly when you click them
- See real-time memory savings
It's my first Product Hunt launch - feedback very welcome!

Fellow tab hoarders, how many tabs do you have open right now? 😅

@new_user___3072025b4456cd3013182f7 This is brilliant, Jens. I’m 100% the kind of person who leaves 40+ tabs open without noticing until my laptop starts screaming 😅
Quick question though when a tab gets frozen, does it instantly reload when I click back on it, or is there a delay? Just trying to picture the real workflow.
Also, props on building your first extension at 58 that’s inspiring.
Thanks Agbaje! 🙌
Great question - tabs reload instantly when you click them. No delay, just a quick restore. Feels exactly like switching to a regular tab.
The frozen tabs act like closed tabs (free memory) but look like open tabs (keep your workflow).
40+ tabs is exactly the use case I built this for. Would love to hear if it helps! 🚀

@new_user___3072025b4456cd3013182f7 Got it — that actually sounds super smooth. The fact that it restores instantly without that annoying ‘refresh lag’ is a big deal for people who jump between tabs nonstop.
I’m curious though… do you plan to make a small landing page for Tab Freezer at some point? A simple page showing that 3.1GB memory save example could make a huge difference, especially if you ever run ads or share it outside the Chrome Store.”
