Когда отключаете расширение , сразу теряете все вкладки затронутые этим расширением (вкладки автоматически закрываются при отключении расширения). Поэтому это расширение не надёжно .

-it was working OK, even on several accounts. But for the last 10 days or so when i click on it it's opening page options forever so i can't choose options, it still works automatics. It's the same on several machines, so it's not up to PC. AT least i think so. So what happened i have to idea. So i then switch into setting on chorme etc option remove the tiny suspender and reinstall it and it works for 1 day. And i'm in the loop of constant installing and reinstalling in order not to loose 1000+ tabs. IMPORTNAT! When you uninstall it read in settings and choose ''Native tab d'' or you will lost your tabs as i did in one window.
