Having a multitude of tabs open while using Google Chrome is a dizzying, confusing and highly power-consuming practise. Memory-intensive tabs can really slow down your computer and put a lot of strain on your machine. Also, it just feels so satisfying when you finally get to close a bunch of tabs and see all that space free up. I mean REALLY satisfying. But alas, we seldom have that option, as there's always a couple of pages we can't afford to close, in case we need to get back to them later. There is, however, a trick to save on your laptop's performance and battery life and still keep your tabs open. Follow these steps - Click on the settings button (the 3 lines on the top right corner)
While this isn't the most practical and effective method, it is one of the only options available in a situation where your tabs are too important to close, but too heavy to keep running constantly. If you don't want to bother with all of this, you could also install the 'Great Suspender' Chrome extension, which temporarily suspends tabs you're not using and puts them to sleep to save memory. It's completely customisable, and pretty nifty too!
