Re:Show HN: Save Memory in Google Chrome on Monday March 11, 2013 @12:39PM (#5357862)
I recently found TabMemFree https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabmemfree/pdanboc...

It is similar to OneTab but keeps the tab open (with Flavicon and Name) but just "parks" it after a time period. It saves back states.

As a heavy open tab users (we have a support group I've heard) I like it. Working with 4 GB of Ram is made much easier!

If you have a tab that you don't want "parked" after 15 minutes (configurable) then you just pin it. So Gmail and Pandora get pinned. The rest park themselves and reload on when I select them.
