Show IH: Chrome extension to free RAM and share multiple pages at once
https://supatabs.com
A free chrome extension to convert open tabs into groups of links to free up RAM and save for later. You can also share multiple tabs at once as a list of links via Whatsapp & Telegram, or copy it to your clipboard.
This looks awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks :)
This is really insightful, thank you.
Thanks :)
Or just use Microsoft Edge...
I wish it was that easy.
Since Edge is Chromium based they share the same engine.
While Edge is slightly better in terms of RAM consumption it still uses a fair bit of memory when there are many tabs open. E.g. 10-20+

It's from 2021
Whay about Firefox? Chrome has turned into a bloated piece of software. I switched to Firefox 2 years ago and never looked back.
I used to do brower competitive analysis, particular on system resources/power management, but it's been awhile. I think Edge can suspend tabs and free up memory (I think default was 2hrs?).
Again, I am sorry if I am out of touch :)
Good job though.
Yep, you are right. Edge - and Chrome for that matter - suspend tabs automatically at some point. Not sure on the timing though. 2 hours sounds reasonable, but afaik there is no way to control it. That's something I'm working on.
E.g. set timer yourself, be able to add tabs to a whitelist (to never be automatically suspended)
I put a few videos on the webpage what the extension can do besides saving RAM.
No worries mate :) I always appreciate feedback! Thanks for taking the time out of your day to comment.
Wow! Finally, you launched it man!! 🎉 Congrats 👏
It's gonna be a life-saver for me 😇 Really good job!
Yes finally 🎉 I underastimated how long it would take to get the extension approved for first time publishers in the Chrome Web Store. Good learning
