Regain Memory with OneTab




If you have noticed that your web surfing seems to be a bit slower these days, it may be because you’re a tabaholic! 

One of best features of today's web browsers is that they allow you to open individual web pages in separate tabs. 

It eliminated the need to hit the back and forward buttons, because you can simply click on any of the open tabs. The downside to this ability can become a piano on your computer memory’s back. 

Every tab that’s opened uses up a chunk of RAM as if it were another stand-alone program, so the more tabs that you open, the more memory you’re using. 

Today's tip will help improve your computer’s speed easily - keep your open tabs to a minimum. 

Other programs that have nothing to do with your web surfing will be impacted when you open too many browser tabs, because your working memory (RAM) is shared by all programs. 

If controlling your tab appetite isn’t working, checkout this awesome add-on for the Chrome browser called ‘OneTab’. 

It only takes seconds to install and making use of it is just about as simple. The next time you’re out of control with open tabs, simply tap the OneTab icon and bingo - your tabs are consolidated in a list on a single tab. 

OneTab instantly clears lots of memory from all your idle tabs that are open, but also allow you to quickly reopen those tabs when you need them. 

It’s completely free and available at http://www.one-tab.com
