Modified version of The Great Suspender Chrome extension without analytics tracking and rogue JavaScript files from an anonymous developer who is now in control of the GitHub source and web store versions. I forked it for my personal use.
- New ownership announcement
- New maintainer is probably malicious
- Flagged as malware by Microsoft Edge
- Reddit forum discussion
- Medium article
