The Great Suspender Reloaded (2025 Safe Edition)

ruined my browser. all the tabs are broken now unless i have the app installed. worst extension ever, legit mallware...

Suddenly deleted my suspended pages, and uninstalled itself. Not trustable.

The 'click to reload' feature is so stupid. When I try to switch back to Chrome from another application, sometimes the tab I suspended remains visible as the last thing I saw, and as soon as I click anywhere on the page, the suspended tab reloads and becomes active again. Which idiot designed this? Making the entire page area sensitive to this action, instead of putting a small button in a large area to unsuspend it, is nothing short of idiocy.

Until any of the great suspender ports fix the favicon error which happens on every suspended tab, after reopening the browser (the website icon converts to a hidden, default suspender icon), NOBODY should use this. The Marvellous Suspender has the identical issue. ALL of you should use brave browser with the great suspender notrack, because it's the only way to not have this awful glitch nobody seems to care about. I have to literally click on every single tab after restarting my computer, or browser, because of this just to see the website icon: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/the-great-suspender-notra/ahkbmjhfoplmfkpncgoedjgkajkehcgo

The old source code worked like a champ, archived from before it became malware, until google updated Chrome and killed off a lot of old extensions that didn't use a modern manifest. As this is built on old TGS code, it should work equally, yet it does not. Hotkeys regularly fail, it does not honour some of the checkboxes the way the original TGS did. Not sure why this is, but the old one worked without fail. This version is inconsistent at best, and more often than not, entirely unreliable.

Very admirable effort saving us from the Great suspender No-Track which only works on Brave, for now until its gone forever once Brave can't support ManifestV2. You're amazing. But there is a significant problem which needs fixed before I think this can be a viable alternative. After re-opening the browser, tabs suspended end up having a Great Suspender icon instead of the website favicon (on the tab), so after reopening, you can't see what sites you even have anymore. You'd have to click every single tab for a second just to load the icons, every time you restart. As well as this, the normal text to the left of the URL bar is empty, like its missing something, or it says "The Great". You also can't unsuspend them without having to click each site, loading it, and THEN you can mass-unsuspend them. Everything else works, auto-suspend, keyboard shortcuts, should be a full upgrade. This seems to only happen in Brave Browser in my testing. Which makes it worse honestly, nobody should use base chrome. I definitely have to use no-track until this is fixed, or I have to somehow patch your extension and make one myself. If you have a donation tip jar I would give a good tip for this to be fixed.

Appreciate you making this extension but please make the code available on GitHub! Saying "this code is totally safe, trust us" and then refusing to take 30 seconds to upload the code to GitHub (especially given that previous extensions like "The Great Suspender (notrack)" had public GitHub pages from day one) makes it seem very sketchy, like there is in fact something to hide.
