So I have 50 tabs opened on chromium, but that is using too much memory and some of the CPU.

How can I have all those concurrent researches I am doing opened but not clog my machine?

I think there should have a way that only the active tab is loaded in memory and running, and all the others should stay closed/unloaded from memory, until I want to look at them...

Any extension can do something like that?
