BarTab Heavy Alternatives
BarTab Heavy is described as 'unofficial publication of the latest fork of the original BarTab. Keep in mind the last developer is no longer active and claims this version still has some bugs' and is an app in the web browsers category. There are four alternatives to BarTab Heavy for a variety of platforms, including Linux, Mac, Windows, Firefox and Google Chrome. The best alternative is BarTab Tycho, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like BarTab Heavy are UnloadTab, Dormancy and FooTab.
BarTab Tycho reduces memory usage by unloading tabs, either manually or automatically after an adjustable time period. It can also intercept when tabs are loaded in the background or restored after a browser restart, and only load the content when the tab is actually visited.
An essential add-on for power users that have many tabs open. Curb your resource usage by unloading tabs that you haven't visited for a while. An unloaded tab is restored back to its original state when you need it again.
