Malware?
I just got the message from chrome that the extension contains malware, can you tell me if it is actually not safe?
I lost a large number of tabs I'd kept suspended, any way I can recover them?
Should be safe if you build it from the GitHub release, or if you're in Edge, just enable sleeping tabs.
Ho appena ricevuto il messaggio da Chrome che l'estensione contiene malware, puoi dirmi se in realtà non è sicuro?
The problem for me is password and data theft, I own a website and if this extension is really harmful to me it would be a BIG PROBLEM
Dovrebbe essere sicuro se lo crei dalla versione GitHub o se sei in Edge, abilita semplicemente le schede dormienti.
Ho scaricato l'estensione dal Chrome Web Store
The extension was suddenly disabled and completely wiped from the Chrome Web Store
I've been using the extension for a long time now and I don't believe there is anything harmful in the code.. The problem comes for the change of ownership of the code (see more here : https://www.theregister.com/2021/01/07/great_suspender_malware/ )
The extension was suddenly disabled and completely wiped from the Chrome Web Store
There were changes made back in June by @deanoemcke who was covering his tracks, enabling new vulnerabilities through the extension. He has since been outed as he sold the software to a malicious hacking group who's been using the extension to push tracking software.
I called @deanoemcke out on this and he sicked his goons on me. "Well if you don't like it, don't use it" -- great
The big question is: how can we get the old (still known as good) version 7.1.6 installed instead of the 7.1.9 which is flagged 'harmful' now by Chrome ?
In https://github.com/greatsuspender/thegreatsuspender/issues/1147 I sounded the alarm on this and was IGNORED

How to recover lost tabs with The Great Suspender
The extension comes with its own tab history management UI to help users recover from lost tabs. Go to the extension options page (from 'settings' in the popup or 'options' when right-clicking on the extension). Then in the settings sidebar click on 'Session management'. This will show you your most recent tab sessions. You can click on each session to see more detail on the individual windows and tabs it contains.
To reload a session, simply click the 'reload' link. This will reload all windows and tabs in an 'unsuspended' state. If your session contains a very large number of tabs, then you might instead want to click 'resuspend' which will be much faster as it reloads the tabs in a suspended state.
If for some reason the missing tabs are not in your recent sessions, then please follow the guide below for recovering lost tabs without using The Great Suspender.
If you have access to system backups, you may be able to restore old 'recent sessions' from these backups. The recent sessions are stored in an IndexedDB database at Chrome/Default/IndexedDB/chrome-extension_klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg_0.indexeddb.blob/ and Chrome/Default/IndexedDB/chrome-extension_klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg_0.indexeddb.leveldb/
do you guys know where are
Chrome/Default/IndexedDB/chrome-extension_klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg_0.indexeddb.blob/ and Chrome/Default/IndexedDB/chrome-extension_klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg_0.indexeddb.leveldb/
Simply clicking the back button on pages that were suspended brought them back for me.
Screw this new owner. Why would they do such stuff.
@deanoemcke and others have been integrating a closed-source library that tracks user information going all the way back to May of last year -- https://github.com/greatsuspender/thegreatsuspender/issues/1147
I am hearing rumblings that the developer is being paid by a third party to integrate a closed-source library that tracks user data in the latest release, hence the intrusive "UPDATE NOW" push. I'll be removing this extension post-haste.
So just to check, the alternative options of this is to either roll back to a version something last year or to migrate over to a fork of this called The Marvelous Suspender which is barely known? Man, this sucks since this was an amazing extension for me and my hoarder behavior.
So are you basically saying that everytime I update data gets pushed to a third party?
There a forked branch version 7.1.10 of TGS here : https://github.com/aciidic/thegreatsuspender-notrack with no tracking enabled.. I just downloaded and installed it.. happy camper again.
PS: this is the beauty of GitHub source code.. everyone can contribute to its own version and get it reviewed by peers.
