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 ---------------------------------------------------- 2018-08-22: New version 7 released. Please report any issues here: https://github.com/deanoemcke/thegreatsuspender/issues ABOUT PERMISSIONS This extension requests the following permissions: • Read and change all your data on the websites that you visit. This is necessary to detect tabs that contain unsaved form input. This enables the extension to prevent these tabs from suspending automatically. • Read and change your browsing history. This is necessary to keep the extension from creating redundant items in the users history when suspending tabs.

  • (2021-02-02) Jason Premchand: Suspicious activity from their side. https://www.ghacks.net/2021/01/09/we-no-longer-recommend-the-chrome-extension-the-great-suspender-here-is-why/
  • (2021-02-02) Jaloliddin Ravshanov: So goooood
  • (2021-02-01) irk3n: This extensions is great! Work very good and it has good configuration options
  • (2021-02-01) Pavel Ukhan: I no longer trust The Great Suspender. At least it's not open source anymore.
  • (2021-01-31) Gershon Rozenberg: This extension might be the best chrome extension ever! I've already realized the battery saving, and how much quicker my chromebook is!
  • (2021-01-31) Robert Bracco: This extension used to be great but has now been purchased and is doing shady things with your data. Summary from https://www.ghacks.net/2021/01/09/we-no-longer-recommend-the-chrome-extension-the-great-suspender-here-is-why/: - The Great Suspender was sold to an unknown entity in mid-2020. - The new owner uploaded a new version of the extension that requested more permissions, made remote calls and used a remote analytics script. - The analytics script in question raised several red flags, one developer citing that it was made to look like an analytics script only. - The new owner uploaded a new version to the Chrome Web Store, removing objectionable content but keeping the new permission requests.
  • (2021-01-31) 192 Chirag: how about unsuspending tab as we click in it instead of pressing the refresh button or the icon on screen?
  • (2021-01-31) Ben Carp: As you know project has changed hands and now uses suspicious tracking. New Edge is a chromium project and now provides this functionality natively.
  • (2021-01-30) Philip Stepanov: Пользователей The Great Suspender предупреждают: контроль над расширением перешёл в руки неизвестным https://habr.com/ru/news/t/538430/ I no longer trust The Great Suspender | DaFoster https://dafoster.net/articles/2021/01/20/i-no-longer-trust-the-great-suspender/
  • (2021-01-30) Ben Carp: I see many reviews that the extension has (probably) turned fraudulent, and used as a spyware. Since reviews are sorted by default by helpful votes, this creates many text reviews which won't be seen by anyone. Simply upvote (mark as helpful) existing reviews on the matter so Google will show them by default. Voting one star can also helpful.
  • (2021-01-27) Christopher Goetzke: This extension has been sold, and is likely malware now. Do not install, and remove if you already have it. https://www.theregister.com/2021/01/07/great_suspender_malware/ https://www.lifehacker.com.au/2021/01/ditch-the-great-suspender-before-it-becomes-a-security-risk/ https://www.windowscentral.com/great-suspender-extension-now-flagged-malware-edge-has-built-replacement
  • (2021-01-25) Usama Shah: This extension now tracks users and is malicious.
  • (2021-01-25) Samuel Wong: 这个插件很好用，但是最新版的Edge似乎集成了这个功能？
  • (2021-01-25) wetti: New owner - now a major risk of being malware. Removing until its safe again (if it ever is). I advise all of you to do so too and look for alternatives
  • (2021-01-24) Rui Barbosa: Extension with malware: https://www.theregister.com/2021/01/07/great_suspender_malware
  • (2021-01-23) Nikola: Программа не понравилась. Не работают настройки приостановки вкладок. Останавливает работу вкладок она хорошо, но никак не реагирует на свои собственные настройки. Пробовал устанавливать различное время, через которое вкладки должны быть остановлены, все равно все бесполезно, программа их останавливает через 5 минут. Если выставить автоматически приостанавливать вкладку через "Никогда", все равно останавливает все вкладки через 5 минут. Поэтому пока такая оценка. Надеюсь в будущем что-то изменится, так как сама идея остановки неактивных вкладок отличная, особенно для хромоподобных браузеров, разработчики которых считают, что вся оперативная память компьютера предназначена для их браузеров.
  • (2021-01-22) Kevin Toupin: Wow... just... wow. Does exactly what it's expected to perfectly! 10/10
  • (2021-01-22) Wyatt Rich: You cannot trust the new developer. They are not publicly naming themselves. The GitHub repo's releases differ from what your chrome extension updates to. Unsuspend all tabs and remove ASAP! If you really must use it then you can get an untracked version (with no support!) from aciidic/thegreatsuspender-notrack on Github and manually load it. More info available in the repo's Issues.
  • (2021-01-21) Cody Fitzpatrick: In case you have not heard the news, this extension was sold by its creator to a third-party. This third-party has added code to this extension, particularly, code which tracks your behavior and actions, likely so the new owner(s) can sell your data for profit, given that the extension doesn't cost anything. This was a great extension and can still be, just remove the tracking code and enable optional donations/subscriptions (users who have the means to support the extension can, and the new owner does not have to sneakily grab data from MILLIONS of people).
  • (2021-01-21) Andrew Prock: Converted to spyware after version 7.1.6
  • (2021-01-21) Алексей Тарасов: Пользователей The Great Suspender предупреждают: контроль над расширением перешёл в руки неизвестным https://habr.com/ru/news/t/538430/ I no longer trust The Great Suspender | DaFoster https://dafoster.net/articles/2021/01/20/i-no-longer-trust-the-great-suspender/
  • (2021-01-21) Олег: Спасибо вам за расширение! Есть предложение добавить функцию: Возобновить все вкладки справа. Слева менее логично, вкладки там, в основном, все на длительном сне.
  • (2021-01-21) Jay Douglass: Do not use! The author has sold the extension and it is now a malware risk. I am long time user. Sad. https://dafoster.net/articles/2021/01/20/i-no-longer-trust-the-great-suspender/
  • (2021-01-20) Greg Miller: This extension has been sold to a less than reputable company who has added tracking to it. I recommend uninstalling immediately.
  • (2021-01-20) Peter Etelej: probably malicious - https://github.com/greatsuspender/thegreatsuspender/issues/1263 - https://dafoster.net/articles/2021/01/20/i-no-longer-trust-the-great-suspender/
  • (2021-01-20) Aaron Harnly: Sadly, this extension was sold to a shady third party, and now tracks you across the web. MS flags it as malware. You should remove it. https://dafoster.net/articles/2021/01/20/i-no-longer-trust-the-great-suspender/
  • (2021-01-20) Johann Schnettker: https://dafoster.net/articles/2021/01/20/i-no-longer-trust-the-great-suspender/ This release of the extension could be collecting your data. Use the last Opensource version from Github instead.
  • (2021-01-17) Martin Siddons: As others have pointed out, this addon is now likely malicious https://www.theregister.com/2021/01/07/great_suspender_malware/ - avoid at all costs. Be sure to unsuspend all tabs before removing, then check out similar tab suspension extensions such as Tiny Suspender.
  • (2021-01-17) ShadowingXblade: Перестал работать в Chrome 90.0.4389.0 и новее :(
  • (2021-01-15) Krishna Oza: The worst part of this extension is that as soon as you remove the extension it also removes the tabs from the browser which are suspended and later the user are left to go to browser history and retrieve the open tabs.
  • (2021-01-15) Ehsan Azarnasab: Great extension! but unfortunately seems like it is now sold out to be malware: https://www.theregister.com/2021/01/07/great_suspender_malware/ No way to report to Google
  • (2021-01-15) Joe Sparks: I have used this extension for many years and have had great success with it. I had no idea it was sold to an anonymous person or that it could be harboring malware. I am now uninstalling it from the many computers I use. Such a waste as the functionality was great! https://www.theregister.com/2021/01/07/great_suspender_malware/
  • (2021-01-14) Rachel Salama: New maintainer is probably malicious, and unresponsive to numerous security inquiries. If you have this extension, you should uninstall it immediately and possibly change your passwords: https://github.com/greatsuspender/thegreatsuspender/issues/1263 https://www.theregister.com/2021/01/07/great_suspender_malware/
  • (2021-01-14) Igor K. M.: Funciona perfeitamento, tenho uma sugestão... Pelo ícone do guia informar quais guias estão suspensos...
  • (2021-01-13) Andrew Krueger: Ownership of this once fantastic tool changed hands in November. It is now running malicious code that will track you across the web, can easily modify pages you are seeing, and may be logging everything you do. (Please see, https://github.com/greatsuspender/thegreatsuspender/issues/1263)
  • (2021-01-13) Joey Twiddle: This was a great extension, until the ownership changed hands, and the new maintainer dropped some suspicious code into it. https://lifehacker.com/ditch-the-great-suspender-before-it-becomes-a-security-1845989664 I recommend uninstalling this. There are plenty of other "tab suspender" extensions out there.
  • (2021-01-12) Bruno Dantas: It became slow and unresponsive lately, and turns out it's malware now.
  • (2021-01-11) Philip W: this extension is not safe anymore as you can read in the other ratings. Last open source and safe version is 7.1.6 which you can download and install manually from here https://github.com/greatsuspender/thegreatsuspender/releases/tag/v7.1.6
  • (2021-01-11) Денис Клементьев: Плагин отключает сайты, на которых идёт загрузка файлов. А после отключения плагина он удаляет все неактивные вкладке. В итоге закрылось более 30 вкладок без возможности восстановления. В инструкции об этом нигде не было написано
  • (2021-01-11) Glenn Grant: Just wanted to call out the fact that the ownership of this extension was sold to an unidentified developer, who hasn't been openly communicative with the open-source community around this project, and hasn't pushed the code for recent updates to the GitHub repository, which all seems very suspicious, and feels like malware..

  • (2021-01-09) Bruno Magalhães: This extension is no longer reliable, it's time to switch to another.
  • (2021-01-09) Santiago Fontana: New owner of this extension is playing games and hiding code. You should probably delete this immediately if its installed on your computer.

  • (2021-01-09) Lord Vader: Siehe dazu auch den Artikel bei Caschy: https://stadt-bremerhaven.de/bericht-beliebte-chrome-erweiterung-the-great-suspender-koennte-nach-und-nach-zu-malware-mutieren/ "Das mag nun nicht unbedingt eine Meldung wert sein, wohl aber, dass es seitdem weitere Code-Anpassungen in der Erweiterung gegeben hat, ohne dass diese jemals nachvollziehbar dokumentiert worden sind. Da dies allein schon ausreicht, um misstrauisch zu werden, haben sich diverse Experten mit den unterschiedlichen vergangenen Versionen beschäftigt und herausgefunden, dass unter anderem ein neuer Tracker für Analysezwecke implementiert worden ist. Auch erinnern weitere geänderte Passagen im Code inzwischen sehr an andere Erweiterungen, die aufgefallen sind, weil sie zum Cryptomining und mehr missbraucht wurden. Auch dass der Entwickler nicht erreichbar zu sein scheint und keine seiner Änderungen dokumentiert, sollte einen stutzig machen, so die Experten." Mit so einem Verhalten seitens des Entwicklers ein NoGo! Wurde deinstalliert.
