Do you have too many tabs open in your browser and fear your browser might exhaust your system memory? We have a solution for you now. Sometimes you open far too many tabs and just forget to close them even if you no longer need them. Well, Slimjet now offers an option to help save memory in such cases. It does that by automatically unloading idle tabs when the number of tabs reaches the specified limit. The unloaded tab remains a dummy tab but its underlying rendering process has been destroyed. Therefore, the unloaded tab doesn’t consume any memory at all. Whenever you click on an unloaded tab, the original web page will reloaded from the cache.

The option is called “Automatically unload idle tabs when the number of tabs reaches the limit”, located under the “Memory Management” section of the settings page. This option will be useful for you if your computer has limited memory and you have a habit of leaving too many tabs open while your surf the web.
