you know what
having a slow computer drains the energy, passion, mood, focus, positivity,
productivity, creativity - and, all of that... if you closely observe there is a slight chance that your browser
could be the culprit - so i set to dig in a little deeper, to find out what actually
is happening to slow down my computer which is, actually new, I just recently bought this
laptop and just like you, i jump from one website
to another on the internet, and guess what?
every tab i open and every extension i use is a new process i guess and that, drains
out the processing speed of my tiny little 8gb RAM cute laptop; needless to say
this ends up using up my processing power of the computer - and thus successfully slowing
down the computer.
That's when i set to searching the best tab management chrome extensions - and decided
to make a video out of it to help my friends like you - who also values time !!
Let's make things better NOW!
# 1 - Workona - Workona seems to have a team that wins the race of how many tabs can a
person open in one minute.
That's why they came up, perhaps, after testing too many tabs, with this excellent solution
of workspaces.
Workspaces are smart browser windows with names you choose.
You can close and reopen these workspaces later on, so everything seems organized in
buckets.
To add tabs to a workspace, just browse in the window like you normally would.
Here's how this works in the background - a tab cache gets created and minimized so when
you first open a workspace, the tabs are suspended and only loaded into memory when you click
on them.
Suspended tabs are essentially just pretending to be there and barely increase memory usage
no matter how many you have open.
This chrome extension is totally free, and has become my instant favorite that I cannot
live without.
# 2 - One-tab - Whenever you find yourself with too many tabs open, click the OneTab icon
to convert all of your tabs into a list of clickable links into just one-tab.
So, here's how it works - i have all these tabs open now.
Just observe what happens when I click on the one-tab icon, while simultaneously also
see my chrome processes getting lesser in the task manager.
This is instant harmony for me.
The cherry on the cake comes when I found out that I can simply share this list of all
my open tabs as a plain HTML file.
They also provide thoughtful options such as "Exclude specified tabs from moving to
one-tab", "Exclude pinned tabs", and more.
# 3 Next in our list is, Recently Closed Tabs.
You might as well check your browsing history, but this extension makes it handy with just
two clicks - simply click the extension icon, and select which tab you want to re-open:
one advantage over 'history' is that this extension opens the closed tabs in a new tab
instead of in the same tab.
#4 Quick tabs - if you remember "Google Desktop" something like the command+spacebar on your
Mac to open the spotlight search, so quick tabs does exactly that to the tabs in your
browser.
So whenever I have a ludicrous amount of tabs open, so much so that I can barely see the
tab name, quick tabs saves me like the spiderman.
After installing just go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts to customize your keyboard shortcut combination
and you're ready to be saved by Spiderman!
# 5 The great tab suspender - sometimes we just forget the tabs with boring articles
but keep them opened in the background and instead get carried away with Casey Neistat
or Pewdiepie videos.
Although we moved on from our brain's memory, those boring article tabs sit right there
eating on your computer's memory.
That's a big no-no for our 'great suspender' chrome extension.
What this does is sing a lullaby to those tabs so they could go to sleep in the background,
you know, while the active tabs remain, well, active.
This way, my precious computer memory is saved for us to keep traveling in the seemingly
endless internet black hole.
So those were the chrome extensions related to tab management in your browser.
What other chrome extensions that you use which are awesome and would recommend everyone
else to try?
