User Reviews
Total Suspender is praised for its customizable suspension time, lightweight design, and simplicity, effectively managing tab suspension without complex permissions. Users appreciate its basic features but repeatedly request manual control over suspension and clearer visual indicators for suspended tabs. Performance issues appear when managing very large numbers of tabs, and some report higher memory consumption after installation. The extension could be improved by enhancing visual cues for suspended tabs and enabling manual tab management. Pros
- Allows customization of suspension time, including longer durations like two hours, unlike some other extensions.
- Lightweight and efficient, uses minimal permissions.
- Simple and easy to use with straightforward options.
- Effectively suspends tabs to reduce resource usage.
- Displays number of open tabs on the addon icon, although limited to 3 digits.
Cons
- Lacks a clear visual indicator or notification of suspended tabs; users want icons or tab text to be greyed out or show transparency.
- Does not allow manual suspension or unsuspension of tabs, being fully automated.
- Has performance issues when handling very large numbers of tabs (thousands), leading to sluggishness.
- Some users report increased memory usage after installing the extension.
- Tab icons do not change when a tab is suspended, causing confusion.

Is Total Suspender Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Total Suspender requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
