OneTab instantly frees up to 95 percent of memory in Google Chrome

Google’s Chrome browser generally consumes a lot of resources on today’s PCs, because users tend to open a lot of tabs, because it continues to run background processes, and in some cases, because users have installed numerous extensions. The OneTab extension solves the problem, at least temporarily, by converting all the open tabs to a single tab of bookmarks. This reduces Chrome’s memory use from a typical 1GB to 2GB to around 100MB. Individual links on the OneTab page can be restored by clicking on them, or they can all be restored by clicking “Restore All”. Sets of links can also be saved to disk or loaded using the Export/Import commands, or they can be shared by publishing them as a web page. Since the Export command produces a plain text file, it provides a simple way of copying a set of tabs from one PC to another.
