Tab Hibernation Manager

Keep chosen tabs awake forever, or hibernate tabs on demand to free memory.

Tab Hibernation Manager lets you choose which tabs Chrome may put to sleep. Keep important tabs always awake, and put other tabs to sleep whenever you want to free memory. FEATURES • Keep Awake: Chrome will never put this tab to sleep to save memory. Useful for chat, music, dashboards and anything that must stay live. Protection survives reloads and is restored after Chrome restarts. • Hibernate Now: put any tab to sleep right away, including the one you are looking at (you are moved to a neighbouring tab first). • Hibernate All: put every inactive tab in the window to sleep in one click. Kept-awake tabs and tabs playing audio are skipped. • A list of every tab in the window showing whether it is Kept Awake, Hibernated or Active, with buttons for each tab. • Right-click menu on any page: "Toggle Keep Awake" and "Hibernate This Tab Now". • Keyboard shortcuts: Alt+Shift+K toggles Keep Awake and Alt+Shift+H hibernates the current tab. Change them at chrome://extensions/shortcuts. HOW TO USE 1. Click the moon icon in the toolbar. 2. Press Keep Awake on the tabs you want to stay live. They show an "ON" badge. 3. Press Hibernate on any tab, or Hibernate All, to free memory. A sleeping tab reloads when you click it. Chrome's own system pages (such as settings and the new tab page) cannot be put to sleep and are skipped. PRIVACY The extension only reads the titles and addresses of your open tabs to list and manage them. The addresses of kept-awake tabs are saved on your device so protection can be restored after a restart. Nothing is sent to the developer or any third party. No analytics, no tracking.
