Score: 7.3/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 8, Documentation: 8, Utility: 7)

GLP-RAM is a Chrome extension that reduces memory usage by keeping only a small working set of tabs loaded and deferring background tab loading until activated. It intelligently protects tabs with media, unsaved input, or notifications, and offers a detailed dashboard for monitoring tab states and memory.

Target audience: general users, developers, power users
