Chrome is blocking popular extension The Great Suspender citing malware
- ryanmercer 6y agoEarlier today I was typing in a tab and suddenly several of my tabs closed. I thought, that was weird, and reopened them from memory. Several hours later I notice none of them have suspended as they should have by now, odd. I start looking and The Great Suspender's icon is missing. Strange. Then I see this article. Wow. I'm hoping it was more malicious external entities than it was the developer going rogue. I really loved that extension, it was useful.

- ryanmercer 6y agoWell, that's unfortunate. I get why developers do it but man, it always stinks.
