UnloadTab is described as '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' and is an app in the os & utilities category. There are eight alternatives to UnloadTab for a variety of platforms, including Google Chrome, Windows, Linux, Mac and Mozilla Firefox apps. The best UnloadTab alternative is Firemin, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like UnloadTab are Auto Tab Discard, BarTab Tycho, Tiny Suspender and Quidle.
Firemin is a small utility to reduce the amount of memory Firefox or other browsers use. Although Firefox memory usage improved a little over the last few years, it still uses a lot of memory.
Auto Tab Discard a lightweight extension that uses the native method (tabs.discard) to unload or suspend browser tabs to significantly reduce the memory footprint of your browser when many tabs are opened.
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.
Quidle automatically closes inactive tabs based on your custom rules, helping you stay focused, save memory, and keep your browser clutter-free.
Google Chrome extension to automatically track and close inactive tabs making browsing experience lightweight.
This Chrome/Iron extension is inspired by the excellent Firefox extension - BarTab, although it's much less sophisticated and powerful.
