Tab Wrangler is a Google Chrome extension to close unused tabs at a user defined time.
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.
Discontinued

If you tend to open too many tabs, closing them when no longer needed could be a tedious task. Fortunately you don't have to do it yourself.
Dustman vs The Great Suspender opinions
crogonintThis one automagically closes tabs you haven't viewed recently. That means that you're depending on Chrome's notoriously rotten History function to get back old tabs.
BAD idea.
Ever tried having 20 tabs or more open in Chrome? You can’t even see the favicon of the tabs, not to mention the tab titles! If that happens to you, TooManyTabs is a must-have extension that manages your tabs, reduces your tab overflow, and saves your sanity!

crogonintThis one also will automatically close your tabs, forcing you to rely on Chrome's crappy History function to retrieve them.
