Co-founder of Marvellous Codeworks. Rescued The Great Discarder, built The Great-er Tab Discarder

The Great-er Tab Discarder (TGD) starts here: a clean fork of the original The Great Discarder, stripped of tracking and built for people who just want their RAM back.

What's in this release​

  • Discard at startup — a new option to automatically discard tabs when the browser launches, freeing memory from the first moment Chrome opens
  • Removed Google Analytics — no tracking, no data collection
  • Removed unneeded extension permissions — the extension asks for only what it actually needs
  • Renamed throughout — the fork has its own identity across all files and the UI
  • Available on the Chrome Web Store
