Review Summary
Users praise The Marvellous Suspender for effectively managing Chrome's high memory usage and enabling large numbers of open tabs, calling it one of the best extensions available. However, recent Chrome updates have disabled the extension due to policy compliance issues, requiring users to manually re-enable it or await updates. Problems like non-functional screen capture, conflicts with Chrome's new memory features causing lost tabs, and the need for an update to manifest v3 are common complaints. Despite this, the extension remains valued, with some users considering switching browsers if support ends.
Pros
- Effectively reduces Chrome's high memory usage by suspending tabs, allowing users to open many tabs simultaneously.
- Highly appreciated and considered one of the best Chrome extensions by many users due to its utility in managing tabs and saving resources.
- Provides a useful feature that Chrome lacks natively, helping with workflow involving massive tab-based work.
- Some users mention it still works in alternative browsers like Opera GX.
- Developer is appreciated for the work done on this extension.
Cons
- The extension has been disabled or blocked by recent Chrome updates due to not following new manifest (v3) rules or Google's policy, making it non-functional without manual intervention or updates.
- Screen capturing feature does not work as expected or is blocked, which is a deal breaker for some users.
- Conflicts with Chrome's new Memory Saver settings can result in lost or duplicated tabs.
- Requires updating to manifest version 3 to ensure ongoing support and compatibility.
- Some users worry about safety and privacy concerns, though it is not a widespread complaint.
