Одно из худших расширений! Тугое, монотонное,вкладки кодирует ,если выкл комп то последующая загрузка браузера выдаст все вкладки идентично нечитаемыми, ублюдство! Снесли это нхй!

I've used different tab suspenders before and this one helpful if you're creating new tabs and closing chrome after each session. But I leave chrome up and I installed this with some tabs already create set the timer to both 30 and 10 and tab suspension only applied to new tabs. i need it to apply to all tabs. Theres also no feature to manually suspend a tab yourself. It's almost over simplified.
