Native API Architecture
Unlike legacy extensions that inject heavy JavaScript into every page to "fake" suspension, SuperchargeBrowser utilizes the native chrome.tabs.discard API. This allows the browser to completely release the RAM and CPU resources of an inactive tab without closing it.
Context-Aware Suspension
Our audio-detection algorithm prevents the suspension of active media. Your music, podcasts, and video meetings continue uninterrupted in the background, while silent tabs are aggressively optimized.
