Page Snooze: Hide Tabs & Schedule Them To Open Later [Chrome Extension]
Note: I originally wrote this back in 2012. While Page Snooze was a cool concept at the time, browser capabilities and available extensions have changed a lot since then! If you're a hardcore web surfer, you've probably run into this problem: you've got dozens of tabs open across your screen, and you don't even know which one to look at next. All those open tabs chew up your system's memory, which inevitably leads to a browser crash. And if you run into a system fault, a blue screen, or a power outage, you risk losing all of them. Or, more simply, you just don't have the time to read through all that content right now. Even if your browser doesn't crash, the sheer clutter of that many tabs is pretty irritating. If you're using Google Chrome, I found a neat little extension that helps solve this called Page Snooze. So, What Does Page Snooze Actually Do? It's a pretty clever concept. Page Snooze takes a tab and hides it away for a specific amount of time. Once that timer runs out, the tab automatically reopens in your browser window, right when you're ready to deal with it. You can grab the extension directly from the Chrome Web Store: Download Page Snooze Once you've installed it, you'll notice a new clock icon sitting right next to your address bar. Using it is super intuitive. Just right-click anywhere on the page you want to hide, and you'll see a new "Page Snooze" option in the context menu. Select how long you want to snooze it for, and poof—the tab vanishes. It'll automatically spring back to life when the time is up.
