Tab Fossil - Tab Freezer

Freeze long-lived tabs into lightweight pages to save valuable memory.

Tab Fossil is a lightweight tab-freezing extension for pages you do not need right now but do not want to close. It preserves the tab’s URL, title, and optional preview, so you can restore the page with one click whenever you need it. When you keep many documents, search results, admin pages, or temporary references open, Chrome can gradually consume more memory. Tab Fossil removes the trade-off between closing important tabs and letting them keep using resources: freeze inactive pages, retain the context you need for later, and reduce their resource usage. Why install Tab Fossil: - Free memory used by inactive background tabs and keep your browser responsive. - Keep important pages without leaving them open and consuming resources. - Freeze the current tab or freeze multiple tabs at once. - Automatically freeze inactive tabs after a configurable period. - Identify frozen pages easily through their title, URL, and optional preview. - Store settings and recovery information locally; no tab data is uploaded to developer servers. - Use a simple interface available in English and Chinese. Tab Fossil is ideal for people who keep many tabs open for research, writing, development documentation, project dashboards, or everyday browsing.
