インストールしてすぐにクラッシュ。 それからが地獄です。 ブラウザの再起動ができずに固まります。 Macを強制終了してからブラウザの起動だけに1時間かかります。 我慢して待つものの、タブの順番はぐちゃぐちゃになって、同じタブが増殖したり消え去ったりもします。 困難と苦労が好きでもない限り使用しないほうが懸命です。 元に戻すのに丸2日かかりました。（怒）

썻던 확장 프로그램 중에 최악이다. *되고 싶으면 써라 1. 탭 여러개 띄우고 써서 그런지 모르겠는데 빈탭 3개 키고 동시에 끄는 등 가벼운 동작 시 cpu점유율 100%를 보게될거다. 2. 그런 개같은 일이 있어 삭제를 바로 한다면 'suspend' 시켜둔 탭이 다 날라가는 두번째 개같은 일을 겪게 될거다. 대처법 : 이 확장프로그램을 신고하고 절대 쓰지마라 This is the worst extension I've ever used. Use it if you want to get screwed. 1. I don't know if it's because I open multiple tabs, but when I do light operations like opening and closing 3 empty tabs at the same time, the CPU usage will be at 100%. 2. If you delete it right away because of such a shitty thing, you'll experience the second shitty thing where all the tabs you've 'suspended' will disappear. How to deal with it: Report this extension and never use it again.
