Tab Hibernator Pro is an open-source, privacy-first Chrome extension that automatically suspends inactive tabs to free up to 80MB of RAM per tab. What makes it unique: • 🛡️ Smart Exclusions: Never suspends playing audio/video, pinned tabs, or active forms. • ⚙️ Per-Domain Rules: Set custom timeout overrides and whitelists. • 🔄 State Recovery: Restores tab URL, title, and exact scroll position on click. • 🔒 100% Local: Zero tracking, telemetry, or servers.
Hey everyone! 👋
I'm Sujal, the developer behind Tab Hibernator Pro.
I built this extension because I was tired of Chrome turning my laptop into a stove and making it lag whenever I had 30+ tabs open (which is basically all the time when I'm coding). I tried other tab suspenders, but they kept losing my scroll positions, clearing my form text, or filling their code with tracking telemetry.
So, I built a privacy-first suspender that works quietly in the background:
🛡️ Flow Protection: It leaves your pinned tabs, active forms, and playing media (YouTube, Spotify) alone.
⚙️ Custom Overrides: You can set custom timeouts per domain or whitelist specific sites completely.
🔄 Smart Restores: Wakes tabs up instantly and retains your exact scroll position and title.
🔒 100% Client-Side: No external servers, no tracking, and no analytics. Everything stays on your local machine.
It’s completely free and open-source. I’d love to hear your feedback, bug reports, or feature requests!
Thanks for checking it out!
