The Great Suspender Original

previously i used this a lot and liked it because of a few reasons which i'll explain,
first off when i suspend other tabs i can still see the tab title and logo and it is darkened when
suspended.
this is especially important since i use a tab manager so i have tons of tabs open, yet suspended
so they don't take up memory and i still won't forget to go back to them.

i have over 300 suspended tabs in multiple windows....now i can tell through a tab manager that i use, which ones are suspended and which ones aren't as well as what site the tab is on.
I highly recommend pairing this extension with a tab manager like tabs outliner(my favorite at least) or at least a tab manager that shows the logo and title of each tab.

second is that if i close out of chrome or chrome crashes when i open it back up my tabs that were suspended are saved unlike other extensions where you lose the suspended tabs when chrome closes or crashes. this is the important difference from other tab managers.

third is if the extension is no longer working for example from malware/virus/loss of data/computer change then you can still find out where the site you need to access is as long as you delete everything in the url before the http:// and click enter. some other extensions encrypt the url when suspending it which makes it impossible to access unless you find and download the exact extension on the computer your using different from the normal computer you use.

although there are times that the great suspender seems to have glitches where when you suspend the tabs they change to great suspender logo and "..." title and take a while to change to the suspended title name and suspended logo and sometimes it seems it doesn't change at all.

in short...when it's working its the best, when it's not it's difficult to navigate between suspended pages. most the time it does work properly though.

Can you make the theme sync with the OS i.e. switch between light and dark automatically

An extension I couldn't do without.. It would be more popular if people knew it existed!!
