BATBASH - the tab-throttling power saver by D3JF

Saves battery by aggressively throttling background tabs (memory preserved!), making them "sleep" deeper. Make sure to whitelist websites that are incompatible with the philosophy of throttling their hopes and dreams for extreme power savings!

About this extension
BATBASH

Aggressively throttle background tabs to squeeze every last drop of battery life while keeping the websites intact when you return.

What it does
  • Puts any background tab into a deep-sleep state after a few seconds
  • Pauses timers, animations, media, workers, canvas, and observers
  • Whitelist your favorite sites (YouTube, Spotify, etc.) with two clicks
  • Restores the page instantly when you switch back—scroll position intact
