Extension summary
!! 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.
