FasterTabs is a Chrome extension developed by FasterTabs that aims to improve the speed and performance of your browser. By freeing up unused resources, this lightweight and fast extension reduces the memory and CPU consumption of your tabs.

One of the key features of FasterTabs is the ability to suspend tabs that are not in use or are hidden. This frees up memory and CPU, resulting in a faster browsing experience. Additionally, users have the option to whitelist specific URLs or domains that they do not want to be suspended.

Another notable feature of FasterTabs is the optional screenshot display of tabs before they are suspended. This provides users with a visual reference of the tab's content, even after it has been suspended.

FasterTabs also brings significant performance improvements when restarting Chrome with a large number of open tabs. It prevents tabs playing audio or video, as well as those containing forms, from being suspended.

Users can configure the extension's behavior when browsing on battery power, ensuring optimal performance while conserving energy.

It's worth noting that FasterTabs is built from open source code, ensuring transparency and trustworthiness.
