Pinned Tab Discarder

Automatically discards inactive pinned tabs after a configurable timeout.

Free memory by auto-discarding inactive pinned tabs. Audible tabs are never discarded. Tabs reload instantly when clicked. - Tired of a tab strip full of pinned tabs quietly eating your RAM? Pinned Tab Discarder unloads the pages behind your pinned tabs after they have been inactive for a while, while keeping the tabs themselves right where they are. Discarded tabs stay pinned and visible in the tab strip. Chrome simply frees the memory their pages occupy and reloads them the moment you click. - Automatic: pinned tabs are discarded after a configurable period of inactivity (default 10 minutes) - One click: "Discard pinned tabs now" button force-discards all pinned tabs on demand - Badge on the toolbar icon shows how many pinned tabs are currently discarded - Sound-aware: tabs playing audio are never discarded, so your music, podcasts and video calls are never interrupted - Lightweight: a tiny service worker that checks about once a minute, no content scripts, no tracking, no network access
