F***! Where have all my tabs gone!?
by Dave StewartOn the evening of February 4th 2021 at about 9pm, Chrome decided to nuke The Great Suspender, both in the Web Store and on people's browsers.
This caused 100s of 1000s of users from round the world to instantly lose 10s, 100s, or even 1000s of tabs they had "suspended", waiting to be used another day.
Luckily for me it's not something I use, but Twitter started to go crazy with reports of people losing tabs and weeks or months of work.

Whoa, good idea! If you want to charge for it easily you could try my service https://extensionpay.com — it's free and works cross-browser!

Great idea. I won't use it for this extension, maybe in future!
Cheers,

I show a popover in the bottom right hand corner which links to a sign-up form for my next project.
It's more important to me that the extension is free, provides value, and is available for anyone to use than it is for me to profit directly from it.

Great, thanks for sharing! It's always interesting to me just how many folks on IH aren't directly interested in making money.
