# The Marvellous Suspender
[](https://crowdin.com/project/tms)
"**The Marvellous Suspender**" is a free and open-source Google Chrome extension for people who find that chrome is consuming too much system resource or suffer from frequent chrome crashing. Totally based on the original "[The Great Suspender](https://github.com/greatsuspender/thegreatsuspender)" but without ADS tracking and problems explained [in this GitHub issue](https://github.com/greatsuspender/thegreatsuspender/issues/1263).
Once installed and enabled, this extension will automatically *suspend* tabs that have not been used for a default, or user-configurable, time interval. As a result, resources such as memory and CPU that the tab was consuming are freed.
If you have suggestions or problems using the extension, please [submit a bug or a feature request](https://github.com/gioxx/MarvellousSuspender/issues/).
**If you have lost tabs from your browser** you can read a guide for how to recover them [here](https://github.com/deanoemcke/thegreatsuspender/issues/526
).
## Chrome Web Store
The Marvellous Suspender is [available via the official Chrome Web Store](https://go.gioxx.org/tgs).
For more information on the permissions required for the extension, please refer to this gitHub issue: (https://github.com/greatsuspender/thegreatsuspender/issues/213)
### Install as an extension from source
1. Download the **[latest available version](https://github.com/gioxx/MarvellousSuspender/releases)** and unarchive to your preferred location (whichever suits you).
2. Using **Google Chrome** browser, navigate to chrome://extensions/ and enable "Developer mode" in the upper right corner.
3. Click on the Load unpacked extension... button.
4. Browse to the src directory of the unarchived folder and confirm.

Be sure to unsuspend all suspended tabs before removing any other version of the extension or they will disappear forever!
