While running all those tabs can take a heavy toll of the laptop, closing these tabs is also not an option. Because, closing them completely might make you lose something you intended to come back to later. There’s this neat little hack which can kill tabs while keeping them open at the same time and reduce the strain on your laptop. The page with the ‘Aw Snap’ error won’t take up any memory, but if you need to go back to it later, you can find it again by scrolling through your tabs and refreshing the page. Web developer Primož Cigler says that by using this method to shut some troublesome tabs, he managed to double his laptop’s battery life with just a few clicks. While we agree that it is far from a perfect fix, but, if especially your laptop is old and every bit of juice left in your battery is important, you should try this one out.
