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.

关闭浏览器，重新打开，怎么不能像以前那样默认打开关闭前的页面啊

LEO x, 2024-04-20

After either a recent update of Chrome or TGS, I started having a weird issue. When I closed a tab, the previous tab would show but I would get a small button appearing in the top right hand corner of the window saying only, "close." If I clicked outside the button area it would go away, but If I didn't do it almost right away, Chrome would crash. Clicking on the button did nothing. After some troubleshooting, I figured out that it went away when I disabled the following in TGS: "Apply Chrome's built-in memory-saving when suspending" After that, it has not happened again. Which is weird because I have had that setting on since I installed the extension with no issue. Went to the git-hub site to try and report it but I am not all that familiar with it and couldn't find a suggestions/bug page like I have seen with other git-hub projects. Will try this feature later and update my review score when it is fixed. Otherwise, no issues. If there is a better way to submit a bug report, I apologize. It is not my intention to leave this review as it stands really.
