Make your computer run smoothly by suspending the tabs you aren't using

Description from store
A lightweight extension to reduce chrome's memory footprint. Perfect if you have a lot of tabs open at the same time. Tabs that have not been viewed after a configurable length of time will be automagically suspended in the background, freeing up the memory and CPU being consumed by that tab.
➤ Whitelist specific urls or domains that you do not want to suspend
➤ Optionally show screen capture of tab before it was suspended
➤ Vastly improves performance when restarting chrome with a large number of open tabs
➤ Detects tabs playing audio and can prevent them from suspending
➤ Detects tabs that contain forms with user input and can prevent them from suspending
➤ Configurable behaviour when browsing offline or on battery power
➤ Built from open source code for full transparency

- (2023-06-13) MD Ashraful Islam: Eset Internet Security is removing this extension. Whenever I try to reinstall it, Eset removes it again. Seems to me The Great Suspender is a malware. Uninstalling it completely.
- (2023-06-13) Volodymyr Fedorovych: Just removed and added again to Chrome. My antivirus ESET INTERNET SECURITY found and remove a trojan called "js/chromex.agent.ca" from your extension. As result your extension not active. Have same problem with extension Screenshot Master: Full Page Capture but there is different trojan "JS/Chromex.Agent.BZ". Please contact with ESET company and fix problem. Your extension is very useful. I was using it last 2 years
- (2023-06-12) Fernando: Identified as having a trojan called "js/chromex.agent.ca" on it. Be aware.
- (2023-06-01) Terje Skuggen: Working just as advertised. Great extention. Exept that dark mode stopped workin a few weeks ago.
- (2023-05-30) Андрей Бульгако: Неплохое расширение, очень помогло мне в оптимизации браузеру, респект!
- (2023-05-23) alejandro estebanco: It's a virus, it automatically redirects your searchs to yellow-search and gives you a lot of spam in your results, disgusting
- (2023-05-01) Alexander Monkowski: Infects the Google Search when installed. If you activate this extension, it gives you about 20 ads before you can read your actual search results. This isnt the case when you deactivate the plugin. The functionality is good, the background behind that is really bad.
- (2023-04-23) Сева Козин: Неплохо, помогает мне при оптимизации пк и оперативной памяти!
- (2023-04-15) wang he: 这几天每次打开浏览器都要卡好几分钟,排除法该是这个了,扩展管理里关了它瞬间不卡了,但所有300多个被冻结的标签全没了。
- (2023-04-09) Ryan Delehanty: Well I had a bunch of tabs open and then they updated the app and I lost all of them. I understand updates can be tricky but if you can't make them backwards compatible then you kinda really f%&* people over. One star for the amount of trouble it's caused me.
- (2023-03-03) Roma Gromov: А можно после заморозки видео в YouTube открывать его с того же места, а не с начала?!
- (2023-02-18) Nihaar Tyagi: Absolutely loved it, the best extension. A must have for any Chrome user. Unfortunately, both Chrome and Edge have natively built this feature in both the browsers. Been a user for more than 3 years. Happily uninstalling it now. Had a great time.
- (2023-02-11) Gabriel Bahr: This version is buggy and hasn't been updated recently. Use the original instead.
- (2023-01-12) Cody Fitzpatrick: I used to love this extension, but it now seems contaminated with viruses / malware. This extension is DIRTY and tries to redirect you to affiliate tracking links when you go to sites like BestBuy, Newegg, and others. This is all so that the creator/author/publisher can make a COMMISSION on whatever you purchase.I would not have even noticed these redirects if I did not have a network-wide ad blocker in my home (PiHole). Very slimy. P.S. A few examples of domains I have seen it redirect to are: flexlinkspro.com, prj11.com, shara.li, and others that I did not care to write down. All of these domains are connected to affiliate marketing networks.
- (2023-01-05) Caner Aydın: After upgrade, it always suspends tabs despite i gave the option to suspend after 2 days.
- (2022-12-29) John phone: I got this plugin to be able to recover from when chrome forgets the tabs I had open. For the most part it works until the suspender lost all of the sessions it had, which I have used inpast to recover when chrome " forgets" Today when I started chrome no tab were remembered and the great suspend shows no sessions Arrgghh!!! Be sure to export a session from time to time since the suspender can not be relied on to keep it own data
- (2022-12-19) marksman axis: If you still want to show your responsibility for the extension and reassure people about malicious content, then you should add changelog and other languages
- (2022-12-17) Александр: nice extension, thanks
- (2022-12-03) Student Achternaam: Be careful, this version (very) likely contains malware! I'm using a cleaned (unpacked) version I found at github aciidic/thegreatsuspender-notrack (no analytics tracking and removed rogue .js files) & it has worked great ever since (like title says :D)
- (2022-11-22) 公文飞: 超好用。网页仓鼠党必备 补充评论 网页不小心丢失这个找起来也超方便,好用的飞起
- (2022-11-17) Brad Van Dyk: Seriously amazing. Tab suspending plus session management in one extension? Works very well, smooth. How have I not found this before. Thank you thank you!
- (2022-10-20) Giovanni Bonetti: Excellent! It reduces memory consumption without effort!
- (2022-10-20) Giovanni K Bonetti: Muito bom, reduz o consumo de memória de uma forma muito prática!
- (2022-10-17) Vira Mala: Only been using it for about a week but it does what it says. I set it to suspend tabs after 5 minutes. Along with other programs I was running at the same time, I was using 2.5 GB of RAM with 14 tabs open in the Brave browser. It dropped to 2.1 GB, almost a 20% reduction in memory. One of the tabs was a pinned tab so I set it to keep it unsuspected and it honoured that agreement. With only 4 GB of RAM and shared video (which can use up to 512 MB on my system), every bit counts! Impressed.
- (2022-10-16) Tim Brachovski: The default ( TGS ) way of suspending tabs is kinda flawed. As my tabs were lost after I deleted the extention before unsuspending the tabs. And it happened with many others I believe . But I came to find out that it was an ID10T error , speaking of me as well i.e user error . Some instructions would've been nice tho . clear up the confusion for others . And also setting the default suspend style to chrome's discard feature would be better imo . Edit : also the lost tabs could be recovered .. by installing the extention again . Btw feature request , opeining tabs from bookmarks while suspended .. with the discard feature .
- (2022-10-12) Andrew Hinkle: Loaded with malware - browser redirect
- (2022-10-06) Chris M: It looks very cool, I was using old version from 2015 and I was happy to have it. I don't understand why previous version was deleted from Chrome store. I use this extension all the time! It is one of the best chrome extensions that I have used and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has a lot of tabs open at a time. It really saves processing power so I can do a lot more with a lot more tabs! The best extension that I have on my computer. It saves a lot of time and money!
- (2022-10-06) Josh Witte: "Matt Nomadic" is a liar and a thief. He is selling our information and providing unwanted redirects to other sites to collect affiliate money. This extension is even worse than the official one ever was. I've never seen someone so blatantly defend such inexcusable shady practices. I encourage everyone to pay close attention to what happens after you enter specific URLs. If you notice your browser suddenly and automatically redirect briefly to a completely unrelated site before finally taking you to the one that you intended, then it is because of this extension. They do this because they get an easy kickback from those sites. Not to mention, those random websites save cookies in your browser that track you without your consent. I will be reporting this to Google and to any tech news outlets that have previously run stories about the malware inherent in it. Shame on you for taking advantage of something useful that you didn't even create and exploiting its users for profit at the expense of their personal privacy.
- (2022-09-27) Unknow0059: i'm a fan
- (2022-09-22) Kirill Soldatenkov: Wonderful extension, just found a solution that I was looking for 2 years, Thanks to developer of this wonderful soft
- (2022-09-19) Bob van Nieuwkoop: I love it, it works wonderful. The main important is that this extension has settings. You can easily customize functions to have the ideal helper.
- (2022-03-13) Camilo Florez: the best suspender... but put Automatically suspend tabs after: 3 mins !! plz.
- (2022-03-08) Random guy on the internet: BEST EXTENSION I HAVE EVER USED I wish I found this extension earlier. It's a must for chromium users.
- (2022-02-17) João Serra: Although all the history with the extension being bought and place malware by the new owner. This extension still uses the same (or very similar logo) leaves me questioning... But anyway, I was just here to tell this extension doesnt seems to work well when working with "Tab Groups Extension"(maybe?), because when the tabs are suspended they seem to move from the window they are to the current window that is open (i think), it leaves all my tabs disorganized
- (2022-02-10) Batuhan Selçuk: Ram kullanımını önemli derecede azaltıyor güzel bir eklenti tavsiye derim.
- (2022-01-30) Mritunjay: Awesome tool, saves a lot of battery and improves performance. Really Loved it.
- (2022-01-06) Md. Nahidul Alam Chowdhury: auto load all tabs, auto deletes tab, lost tab, freezes chrome. Does not work screen capturing.
- (2022-01-02) Felipe Rafael Anzolin: PERFEITO!
- (2021-12-21) Ayoub Kd: good
- (2021-12-16) Blue Noda: This thing is amazing. I usually have 3 Chrome windows and 30 tabs running at a time.... and chrome always slows my computer down. This fixes everything!
- (2021-10-28) Ярик Галкин: Отличное расширение, теперь я могу открывать миллион вкладок не смотря на то, что у меня 3 ГБ ОЗУ!
