About speedup

a tiny web-extension, still in early development, designed to reduce RAM and CPU consumptions by background tabs, as well as to provide a reactive and speedy web-pages for the tab you are currently using. there are no magic tricks, just discarding tabs, CSS rendering that makes things slightly uglier (but a lot faster), and some trying of native lazy loading. the web-extension uses the browser built-in functionality, it does not include any data collection, nor remote code, it works offline, and is open source. please visit the github page for more details and code-review or opening issues. https://github.com/eladkarako/webextension-speedup
