!! BETA VERSION !!

The extension is currently in testing. Some minor issues remain:

Sometimes tabs don't reload automatically when they should, and the user has to manually press the back button.
Using the "Suspend other Tabs" feature accidentally closes some tabs.

How Tabs are Stored

The suspended tab is stored in a "Data-URL", which can be synchronized by Chrome's builtin Synchronization feature, such that the "Recent Tabs" feature on mobile devices and other PCs can be used. Since Data-URLs are local, no browsing information is sent to any server (other than, if enabled, Google's sync servers), so no privacy-issues should arise.
