Topic: Kill all chrome tabs (and resume too!). FINALLY here after YEARS of searching

[devnullius]

Searching & wishing for this for many years, I finally found a program that does the job! 

Chrome with many tabs & extensions might get, well, heavy.

I always wished I could quickly kill / snap! every tab if chrome starts. I'll manually refresh the URL tab when needed. Still, should be easy but wasn't properly done (http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/q0EIyG7Y6dE).

Now I found this: http://www.megaleecher.net/Fix_Google_Chrome_High_Memory_Usage?nocache=1#comment-41788 which leads to: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/the-great-suspender/klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg?hl=en

The Great Suspender - Suspend Google Chrome Tabs To Dramatically Save Computing Resources

Submitted by admin on Sun, 02/24/2013 - 05:10

High memory usage is something most modern tabbed browser are plagued with, we have shared the excellent FireMin add-on for Firefox to tame the situation, and here is an equivalent for Google Chrome.

Working on the same concept as BarTab for Firefox; The Great Suspender for Google Chrome makes unused tabs inactive saving computing resources. The addon dramatically reduced the memory usage to 1.5x. Tab suspension not only saves memory, but also aids in a snappier browsing experience as inactive tabs do not consume other computing resources.


The Great Suspender Unloads tabs and park the suspended tabs, this action is further configurable with a user-configurable whitelist and option to auto-suspend after a pre-defined period of time. Moreover, the session is saved as usual and suspended tabs are retained after closing and reopening of the browser, preventing tabs from auto-reloading on start.

So Karma indeed!
