Faster Browsing Tip




The creation of tabs in browsers is one of the greatest improvements to web surfing to ever come happen because you can quickly bounce between websites without having to use the back button everytime. 

But when you get overzealous with too many tabs, it can eat up lots of memory and slow your computer down. 

If you have noticed that you tend to have lots of tabs open routinely, check out an extension called The Great Suspender for the Chrome browser. 

This great utility automatically monitors tab usage and pauses the web sessions that haven’t been used in a while. Whenever you click on a paused tab, it will reload and pick up right where you left off. 

Not only does this tool free up memory & processing power, it can also help to reduce drain on your batteries by pausing all the background activities. 

You can easily add special sites, like real-time stock trading pages to a ‘whitelist’ so it knows not to ever pause them. 

For avid web surfers that are constantly battling slow performance, this tip is a lot cheaper than buying a new computer!
