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.

Самое лучшее из того что есть!!!! Ещё бы гугл перестал вонять на него и было бы супер

Отличное приложение, очень выручает. Не пойму недовольства некоторых пользователей. Это приложение не создает бекапы и не сохраняет вкладки , а делает неактивными вкладки, которые неактивны определенное время, таким образом экономя оперативную память и ускоряя работу ПК. Если его удалят из Crome, я перестану им пользоваться и перейду на Opera, там его удалять не планируют
