OneTab Extension For Chrome or Firefox
Hi people,
I don't know about you, but i have my computer set up with 2 monitors when I'm doing my research for a new post so you can imagine i have quite a few tabs open at the same time, but the trouble with that is it's an enourmous drain on the RAM which can really slooow things down.
A way around this is to use a Chrome extension called OneTab, I'm not 100% sure on leaving a link, breaking rules and all that, but a quick Google will show you.
It claims to reduce the memory usage by 95% and i must say I've been suitably impressed with what it does so much so I currently have 81 tabs open in OneTab that i can either restore to the main browser or delete them and my RAM is running at a cool 25% whereas if i had all them open at once I'd be lucky if my mouse pointer would even move LOL.
Anyway i thought I'd share that with you and hopefully it will be of some benefit to some of you.
Regards
Sharon

Oh that sounds like what I need...My kids are always blaming me for slowing down our internet. I usually have at least 12 tabs open all the time.
Thanks for sharing this I will definitely check it out
I only have one monitor, but that is a huge difference. It sounds like it really helped you out,
81 tabs open at once, that is crazy.
I actually heard about a program like that on a radio station I listen to. So, I am assuming it is for those with one monitor as well.
I have a MAC and haven't even came close to that many tabs, but it does get to a point of being really slow. I just blamed it on our satellite internet.
You can absolutely use it on a single monitor and I should really close some of them tabs :)

Ok, the time has come for me to try this out.
Have you had any issues with One Tab since this post?
Hi Lee, I've used this for quite a while now and never had any issues whatsoever with it.
Hope it's of some use to you :)
Thank you.
I wanted to check with you before committing to it.
I am going to google and searching for it now.
Thank you again : )
OMG. I love OneTab!!
I have 17 tabs open and no issues.
Before if I had 4 open on my MAC it would slow down to a standstill and I would have to shutdown and restart.
I haven't had to do that since installing OneTab.
Thank You!!
Hey that's great :) glad it's of some use to you.
Thank you
