About The Marvellous Suspender

The Marvellous Suspender automatically suspends tabs that haven't been used for a configurable period, freeing up memory and CPU without closing them. It's a privacy-focused fork of the original Great Suspender (which was removed for containing tracking code). Suspended tabs show a placeholder page and reload instantly when clicked. It can save up to 80% of browser memory, making it essential for users on resource-limited machines who keep many tabs open.
