User reviews
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

Works as intended but would be cool if it wouldn't suspend tabs playing audio.
