In plain words

Save Memory in Google Chrome is a browser extension that converts multiple open tabs into a single list, reducing memory usage by up to 95%. Users can restore tabs individually or all at once as needed. The tool prioritizes privacy by never transmitting tab URLs to developers or third parties, except when users intentionally share their tab list as a web page. It works within Google Chrome and helps manage browsing clutter.

From the sources

Whenever you have too many tabs, click the OneTab icon to convert them into a list. When you need them again, you can restore them one by one or all at once. When your tabs are in the OneTab list, you can save up to 95% of memory because fewer tabs are open in Google Chrome. OneTab is designed for privacy. Your tab URLs are never transmitted or disclosed to the OneTab developers or any other party. Icons for tab URL domains are generated by Google. The only exception is if you intentionally use the 'Share as a web page' feature, which uploads your tab list to a web page so you can share it with others. Tabs are never shared unless you specifically use the 'Share as a web page' button.…from one-tab.com
