Great little addon. I work with 20 plus tabs open which chews up memory but this extension reduces that enormously. Only suggestion would be some sort of option to dim the tab/icon/whatever to show which tabs are suspended. This would make this a 5/5 addon. Thanks

Is Auto Tab Reaper Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Auto Tab Reaper requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
