Digital Shield: Tab Suspender, Memory Saver & Tracker Blocker

Auto-suspend idle tabs to free RAM & speed up slow Chrome. Blocks trackers & malware, warns of data breaches. Free, no sign-up.

Too many tabs making Chrome slow? Digital Shield is a free tab suspender and memory saver: it puts idle ones to sleep, frees up RAM, and wakes each one the moment you click it. The same lightweight extension blocks known malware and phishing sites, stops third-party trackers, flags websites that have had a data breach, and adds simple parental controls. No account and no sign-up. ⚡ AUTOMATIC TAB SUSPENDER - SET IT ONCE • Idle tabs hibernate after 5 minutes to 2 hours of inactivity. You choose the timer. • Each one keeps its title, icon and place in your tab bar, and reloads instantly when you return. • Never interrupts you: the page you are on, pinned tabs and anything playing audio stay awake. • Whitelist any site in one click so email, docs and dashboards are never put to sleep. • Built on the browser's native discarding, the same engine as Chrome's Memory Saver. No placeholder pages, so uninstalling never loses anything. • A safe, maintained replacement for The Great Suspender, rebuilt on Manifest V3. Why it works: every open page keeps its own slice of RAM, so 20 of them can easily tie up 2 GB or more. Resting the idle ones hands that RAM back and stops their CPU and battery drain. You feel the speed-up most on laptops, Chromebooks and 4-8 GB machines. 🔍 TAB MANAGER: FIND WHAT IS SLOWING YOU DOWN • Speed Boost scan: memory use, page size and playing media for everything you have open, heaviest first. • Snooze or close any single one in one click. • Remove duplicates instantly, keeping the copy you used most recently. • Focus Mode catches forgotten pages that keep downloading data in the background and stops them (3 free runs). • Memory Savings keeps an estimated running total of what you have reclaimed. • Boost Now (PRO): put everything in the background to sleep at once. 🚫 MALWARE & PHISHING PROTECTION - ON BY DEFAULT • Stops more than 375,000 known scam, phishing and malware websites before they load, including fake bank, crypto-wallet and Microsoft 365 login pages. • A clear warning explains what was stopped. Go back in one click, or continue for this session if you are sure. • The list is built in, so the addresses you visit are never sent anywhere to be checked. 🛡️ TRACKER BLOCKER WITH A LIVE REPORT • Balanced mode stops common high-risk trackers while keeping websites working. • See what each site really does: trackers found vs. stopped, grouped into advertising, social and analytics. • Privacy Grade (A-F) and a 0-100 Safety Score based on the site's HTTPS and security headers. • Tracker Graph shows which companies receive data from the article you are reading. • Link cleaner strips tracking tags such as utm_source, fbclid and gclid automatically. • Built-in pop-up stopper for unwanted windows. • Maximum Security and Work Mode (PRO): stricter protection, or a setting that still allows the analytics some work apps need. • Privacy Sandbox (PRO): swaps Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Meta Pixel scripts for an empty stand-in, so they never run. 🔔 DATA BREACH ALERTS & PASSWORD SAFETY • Instantly see whether the website you are on has suffered a known data breach, with the details of each one. • Password manager (PRO) checks saved passwords against known leaks. Only a short fragment of a one-way hash ever leaves your device, never the password itself. • Email aliases (PRO): a unique +tag address for every shop or service (you+shop7k@gmail.com), so you can spot who leaked or sold your address and filter it.
