does not actually clear the tabs from memory but pretends to. thegreatdiscarder works better and is actually based on chrome default discarding system. you can check that inactive tabs don't show in chrome task manager.
This is the best one I've tried so far. Works great on my netbook with limited memory. I would have given it 5 stars but I cannot disable the auto discarding. I like to discard tabs manually. I've already set it to "Discard after 0 seconds". I even went to Chrome settings and disabled its built in discard feature. I use Manjaro Linux by the way so maybe there's a bug in my version.
By far the best tab discarding extension, and because of it's importance to my workflow with many tabs open, one of the best overall extensions overall I rely on out of the dozens of discarding extensions & hundreds of extensions in general I've installed over the years. Make sure to optimize the options to your liking. The greying-out of a sites favicon when a tab is discarded is particularly optimal compared to competing/similar extensions that usually display their own logo instead. Thank you so much!
Options page completely locks up my browser and has to be killed when trying to change the discard time. This could very well be a good extension but I couldn't get it to work out of the box.
I use it to totally stop discarding and reloading, but it still reloads sometimes. I have every discarding condition checked to not occur. I have "discard inactive tabs after" set to zero seconds. Given all of that, about 25% of the time tabs reload, but I wish that did not happen at all. This is a big improvement, but I wish it would work better. Review rating will change if this problem is solved.

Way better than Great Suspender. Actually removes the tab completely from memory. Memory usage is 75% better than Great Suspender for lots of tabs (30+)
Having a slow, 7-year-old laptop with 8GB RAM and a penchant for over-heating this extension makes life SO much easier. There are a few extensions like this on the Chrome store, and they all no doubt work great, but the other two I saw were updated over a year ago. This one was updated a few *days* ago, and not only that, has a beautifully aesthetic design, is lightweight and is free. I take my hat off and give an indescribable amount of gratitude to the developer for his/her efforts. Thank you. Seriously. Highly recommended! :D
Thank you!!!
Great extension.
