Hi!

I've been struggling to use Chrome on my M1 Mac, because of how much RAM it eats, and memory saver wasn't enough.

I've made this extension based on combination of features on multiple separate extensions: 1. When you click on the new tab, only the first tab loads in background, the rest will have a placeholder until you click. 2. Only 3 active tabs per window are allowed to be loaded, the rest will be killed. 3. The extension watches if you have unsaved input, paused or active media, or if the page is configured to send notifications and it keeps these tabs alive.

I've been using it for a couple of weeks and it allows me to open way too many tabs to handle :)

The extension is published in Chrome Web Store, let me know if you have any questions!

Hi all,

One of the most common use cases of WireGuard is to set up small mesh VPNs, either for your homelab, or for a small team of people who move between locations throughout the day (e.g., home -> coffee shop -> office, etc)

Problem is, vanilla WireGuard doesn't handle NAT traversal or roaming.

I wanted to fix that, with as little additional software as possible, and make it freely available to everyone, without requiring a subscription or an account.

The result is wireplug.org.

wireplug lets you create mesh VPNs using standard WireGuard. Your config files stay almost the same, except you no longer have to specify an `Endpoint` for your peers. Instead, wireplug detects all your possible endpoints (including LAN) and coordinates them with your peers for you. This lets you keep managing your own keys and network topology, while also maintaining connectivity when moving between networks.

Key Features:

- Detects network changes and updates endpoints automatically - Handles NAT traversal - Connects peers locally when on the same LAN - Uses kernel WireGuard when available - Keeps your keys under your control - Free to use, no account required - Open source, written in Rust - Tested on macOS, Linux, and OpenBSD More info - https://wireplug.org
