Fix Prime Video Freezing or Video Unavailable in Firefox

Find or Restore Chrome’s Bookmarks Bar and Button

Allow Pinned Tabs to Sleep in Chrome Memory Saver
You pinned a tab so it would stay close at hand, and now it sits there holding memory while Memory Saver sleeps everything around it. Chrome treats pinned tabs as intentional and protects them from deactivation. Unpin the tabs you no longer need loaded, switch Memory Saver to a…
