User reviews

Great little addon. I work with 20 plus tabs open which chews up memory but this extension reduces that enormously. Only suggestion would be some sort of option to dim the tab/icon/whatever to show which tabs are suspended. This would make this a 5/5 addon. Thanks

Please, add an option to shut down automatically suspending tabs and activate manually by pressing the button. I need only manual.
