A extensão apresenta problemas sérios de funcionamento. Ao reiniciar o Chrome, ela duplica todas as abas abertas, causando desorganização na navegação. Além disso, mesmo com a configuração ativada para não suspender abas com áudio, a extensão incorretamente suspendeu uma aba durante uma reunião no Google Meet. ENGLISH VERSION: The extension has serious functionality issues. When restarting Chrome, it duplicates all open tabs, causing navigation disorganization. Additionally, even with the setting enabled to not suspend tabs with audio, the extension incorrectly suspended a tab during a Google Meet conference.

Please explain me why this extension needs the permission for "Read and change all data on all websites"?

Funktioniert gut, man sollte sich natürlich die Einstellungen anschauen, damit wäre das genannte Problem mit dem langen Text der gelöscht wurde nicht aufgetreten. eine Kleinigkeit die mich persönlich stört das die Favicons beim Neustart vom PC mit gespeicherten offenen Tabs nicht erscheinen - ansonsten funktioniert alles super
