| 2025-01-18 |  | | en | I have loved this extension and I am gutted that it is no longer supported by Google Chrome :( When is the migration to Chrome V3 API going to happen? Will you keep the same name? I just want to be sure that I will find the new version when it is released! Thank you |

| 2025-01-04 |  | | en | The best tab suspender in Chrome in my opinion. Been using this extension for years, I hope it won't get removed from Chrome. |
| 2024-12-31 |  | | en | well it WAS a great program , then Google Came along and said NOPE I can not use it anymore and blocked it , I have thousands of tabs that can not longer be resumed , not happy Google !!! |
| 2024-12-29 |  | | en | Seems to work exactly as advertised at date of this review. I've seen some low ratings that affect the overal score of the extension, but many or all of these issues appear to have been fixed. |
| 2024-12-26 |  | | en | When will you update it? : ( |
| 2024-12-24 |  | | en | For someone like me who always have multi windows open with multiple tabs this has ended up doing the job that Chrome itself is supposed to be doing in so far as putting tabs into sleep. Which you never have any control over which tabs goes to sleep, when it does it or even doing it at all. I don't get why Chrome introduced the feature and didn't let you control it manually. Or automatically put all unused tabs into sleep mode after lets say 30 minutes. If I have one complaint though its that when you suspend the tab. No matter if it's a longer video I'm watching across a period of time. Or if its a video I want to get to later and so I open a tab and suspend it. You end up with the tab being turned into some form of &ab_channel=ChannelName&t=2s or however long I'm in a longer video. It's not a deal breaker, but having to go the extra step of removing that each time. Getting rid of that would be a nice improvement. |
| 2024-11-28 |  | | en | I really like it, but after Chrome changed how groups work, any tab that was suspended upon restoring a Chrome window is turned into a "new tab". So I have to choose between losing everything in my last session, or having an optimized browser. Unfortunately, saving my browser is far more important to me. Hopefully, this gets resovled eventually. |
