work perfectly for me :) I only would suggest for new users to check the settings and deactivate: "Permanently delete (remove) old discarded tabs if they are inactive for (in hours)"

This is a great plugin, but it seems that it can't work with chrome experimental function: "Tab Groups Collapse Freezing(chrome://flags/#tab-groups-collapse-freezing)". Can you support this in the future? So that I can have muti-stages for every tab: hidden -> freezing -> discard.

Simple to use, and allows multi-site keep-alive whitelisting (for sites like stackexchange). Great for my company laptop with "only" 8GB RAM which has many other programs running.

Nice extension. Does just what it needs to do. Worthy alternative to “The Great Suspender”.

I change the time setting pretty frequently, so calculating how many seconds are in 2/3/4/5/6 hours **every** single time is frustrating. Could you please change the time setting from seconds to minutes... or at least give an option to use minutes? Maybe include a minutes amount setting AND a separate seconds amount setting? (Final setting would be minutes+seconds combined) I don't know why anybody would ever need to discard tabs at a specific second? Maybe there's a reason for using seconds.

Looking great so far. 1. Can't find an option to prevent the active tab from being unsuspended. Is there a way? 2. Would love a keyboard shortcut to suspend all tabs 🙏 3. Would love a keyboard shortcut to suspend selected tabs 🙏

Great replacement for The Great Suspender (which had been found to be spyware). Currently the hovercard feature (which cannot be disabled) causes tabs to wake up. This is annoying because I have to use hovercards to see tab names.
