In The Great Suspender pulled from Chrome after being flagged as malwareI did the work of downloading a forked version [1] of the extension and disabling the mainline extension.
In doing so, I lost about 60 suspended tabs, with no record in history as to what they were.
In some ways, this is like a weight off my back. On the other hand, I was going to read those tabs, I swear!
Oh well, time for me to search jstor for a history of copper mine consolidation, again.
