Adrian Dvergsdal (ID: 00000055011742c4) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/20/2020 Perfect, does just what I wanted: using Chrome's built-in tab freezing. This will save battery when using a laptop, without you needing to close all your tabs. Tip: You can use chrome://discards/ to check status and more.

P N (ID: 000000b41c234e44) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/03/2020 Works well and is very fast for unfreezing tabs (fastest than many other extensions, as it's immediate). I was afraid the extension menu being written in Chinese, but it's not the case, it's English. It's easy to use, clicking the icon freeze everything except what you exclude in the menu, but I would have prefered to have the menu in a popup instead of the extension page.
