The Great Suspender - Without Analytics Tracking

Codebase: https://github.com/aciidic/thegreatsuspender-notrack

I take no credit for this code, I'm simply putting it on the web store because I have trouble trusting all the other Great Suspender extensions and this one comes directly from the latest (7.1.12 notrack) release by aciidic.

The Great Suspender - Without Analytics Tracking

PLEASE NOTE: If you are switching to this extension from a different version of TheGreatSuspender, first export your tabs from the plugin settings window then, after updating, re-import your suspended tabs. Alternatively unsuspend (or bookmark) your existing suspended tabs before upgrading - you can find "unsuspend all tabs" by clicking on the extension icon in the top right corner of Chrome

This is a modified version of "The Great Suspender" to remove analytics tracking and rogue .js files from anonymous developer who is now in control of the GitHub source & web store versions.

It doesn't seem to support Chrome groups, when you suspend a group it disarms it. I don't know if there is a setting for this, it would be nice if they fixed it.

Glad to see this make a comeback. Thanks a mil for posting here. Was using Tab Wrangler since the original extension had privacy issues, and had no complaints. I'll update my review if issues arise.
