The extension is fine, but all the bookmark icons have been turned into globes and there are problems with keeping history. How do I revert this?

I think this extension is great, but I do have 2 wishes. First an option to keep tabs discarded even when you click on them, if you click on one it will auto un-discard it and I don't like that. Second I want the extension to remember where I was on Youtube videos, if I discard a tab and unsuspend it, the video will start from the beginning which is annoying. And yes I'm a refugee from The Great Suspender like many others

The great suspender is still better

This extension is fast, highly configurable, source code available, seriously awesome. Found this as a replacement to the great suspender.

Switched to this after The Great Suspender was killed off and it's mostly okay... but there's no reason for the obnoxious notifications every time you add a domain to the whitelist. Why on earth would I want to be notified about the thing I just did?

What's the purpose of "auto tab discard cannot discard a tab when it is active"? I thought, this was the intent. Only if I add another tab on the same window the discarding is allowed. Also, overall the documentation is too scant. Why no mention of chrome://discards/? Coming from The Great Suspender, I'm still not convinced.

It is not working for me. I put 1800 secs interval to discard - but is doing nothing - no tabs are discarded.

God does this need a GUI redesign. This is 2020, CSS EXISTS!

Excellent work ! Detailed, meticulous and without overload: installed on Opera version 74. I have too often more and more than 30 tabs open ... Shame on me. But thanks to you, I manage my instances much better; my memory is freed all the better too. THANK YOU ! [FR] Excellent travail ! Détaillé, minutieux et sans surcharge : installé sur Opera version 74. J'ai trop souvent plus +++ de 30 onglets ouverts... Honte à moi. Mais grâce à vous, je gère mieux mes instances ; ma mémoire s'en porte bien mieux aussi. MERCI !
