Reduce memory usage in Chrome by suspending tabs

Google Chrome seems to use lots of memory especially when there are lots of tabs open at once. It quite often slows down my machine significantly to the point that I have to restart the browser (with all tabs still open after the restart) and then it gradually slows down again. I'm glad I came across The Great Suspender. This extension allows me to suspend any tab manually, or let it suspend idle tabs for me automatically.
