perfect. does what it says. dont listen to nonsense negative reviews about automatic wake up -__-. whole point of this is for you to be in control. when to put them to sleep and when to wake them. chrome has something automatic but no control to you, typical google. this is great. saves so much RAM and when i need the tabs i just wake them up istead of having to look around the URL to open it or search my history. no complaints at all.

Pages don't automatically wake up as they should. You have to click the tab, and then click 'unsuspend page' to unsuspend them rather than having them automatically wake up. So I removed the extension. Then with it, ALL the tabs it had put to sleep (everything I wanted saved for later) were automatically closed.... Fun.

it not automatically waking up is by design. If it automatically woke up just by switching to the tab, then you would not enjoy the true savings of sleeping the tabs in the first place. Imagine tabbing through 50 tabs trying to figure out which one had that article from a week ago that you wanted to see. In my extension, you can preview the title, URL and favicon without having to un-uspend/wake up the tab. In the way every other extension does it, the tab wakes up as soon as you switch to it, meaning you'll have to wait for the page to load, lose all those system resources, and then figure out if that was indeed the page you intended. As for the removal of tabs upon removal of the extension: while it should be logical that that is what happens, I agree it is not obvious. Unfortunately at the moment it is impossible to warn users that this will happen before removing the extension, but I'll try to add this warning in multiple places (in the chrome store, on the website, and somewhere in the extension itself). If you really need back those tabs, you can go through the history and use something called a URL decoder in order to get back the URLs. E.g. chrome-extension://bkmaopaigmniimdmfbngnjgfiaoieijh/suspended.html?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org will be decoded to the URL https://en.wikipedia.org. Hope that helps!

I like that this extension actually has the option to disable automatic tab suspension. The layout and options are simple. Just what I needed.

Works great, but would be helpful if the text size on the screen auto-scaled for when you go from a big screen (eg 24") to a small screen (e.g 13") so the unsuspend button isn't hard to click

Works well, no issue with tabs playing audio

Works as intended but would be cool if it wouldn't suspend tabs playing audio.

it actually does (or at least it should and does for me). Could you maybe open a support ticket and let me know the situation under which it suspends tabs that are playing audio?
