Extension summary

With this extension you will be able to suspend any tab you want, the suspended tab will not consume memory and processor. To activate back your tab you just need to click in the tab that you want to make active again and it will load normally.

I made this extension because I was using The Great Suspender for a long time and for security reasons it was blocked.

If you are a tab accumulator like me you will use it a lot.

Thanks!
