Collapse & Discard

Unload tabs when you collapse their Chrome tab group, while keeping every tab in place.

Collapse a tab group, free its memory. Collapsed tab groups use memory even when you're not using them. Collapse & Discard unloads their tabs the moment you collapse a group, which can help reduce lag when you have many tabs open. Tabs stay exactly where they are, and Chrome reloads each one when you click it. FEATURES • Automatic – collapse a group to unload its tabs • Keep loaded – protect groups you want to stay loaded (marked 🛡️) • Safe – never unloads your current tab or tabs playing audio • Badge – shows how many tabs have been unloaded • On/off switch – pause it anytime from the toolbar PRIVATE No data collection, no ads, no network access. It only uses two permissions: tab groups and storage. Note: unloaded pages may lose unsaved form input, just like when Chrome unloads tabs on its own.
