User reviews

I like that this extension actually has the option to disable automatic tab suspension. The layout and options are simple. Just what I needed.

Works great, but would be helpful if the text size on the screen auto-scaled for when you go from a big screen (eg 24") to a small screen (e.g 13") so the unsuspend button isn't hard to click

Works well, no issue with tabs playing audio
