If you can not see over your computer rowing because of Chrome, then The Great Suspender is undoubtedly the extension you need.
According to NetMarketShare, Chrome now holds 25.58% market share worldwide. It therefore happen behind Internet Explorer (55.83%), but it would surpass both Firefox (11.7%), Safari (5.12%) and Opera (1.19%).
If you use it at home, then you probably know that it can be effective in daily life. However, it is not perfect, and it unfortunately tends to consume a lot of memory. This can cause problems on the most modest configurations.
What this extension does is actually very simple. It will "suspend" the inactive tabs of your browser to reduce memory consumption.
On the sidelines, the user will hand over various settings. It may for example indicate the extension from which time a tab is to be considered inactive. If needed, it also has the ability to disable the suspension function for all or even pinned for some sites tabs.
Then, well, the extension will take care of everything in its place and it will automatically disable unused tabs. For "wake up", simply display and click in the right place.
A general test at home gave following results. With 26 tabs open, Chromium consumes on average 2.6 GB of memory without the extension. The Great Suspender allowed me to fall to 1.7 GB, and therefore save nearly 1 GB of memory.
Not bad, right? Be careful though because I also found a nasty bug. The extension does tend to close all tabs suspended when disabled. Fortunately, the developer has thought about integrating a restoration function.
