TooManyTabs Frees Up Memory in Chrome Without Losing Your 50 Open Tabs – I’m notorious for holding open quite a few tabs, but if things every got bad enough that they were slowing the system down I’d like to think I could deal with that without needing this extension.

Another World (a.k.a OUt of This World) is a classic game released in 1991, and this is a port of it across to JavaScript. Despite the bugs and minor glitches, it’s a fair impressive demonstration of what can be done in a browser these days.
This looks like a lot of fun. Tags: Gaming
