request: Session Management - please expand this functionality! #1251

I'm a long time user of The Great Suspender (on the Chrome & Brave browsers) & only today (while it upgraded) found out about its Session Management functionality. I've been using a separate extension (Session Buddy) to manage my tabs & sessions - and I believe it would just be wonderful to have all of this functionality in one extension. One advantage I can see is for suspended tabs to be properly represented in the Session Management area as the page that was suspended, rather than the placeholder page…

What other ideas do you see?

duplicate of #1119.

bundling of unrelated functionality is generally undesirable. TGS' session manager was introduced only to avoid that updates botch the current session (and theoretically should be obsolete after a change dean made somewhat recently). however, the url munging problem you mention (which is essentially the same as #454) is potentially another issue that might justify workarounds in form of seemingly redundant functionality.

In general I agree that an extension should be as focused as possible, but I don't think this functionality is unrelated, since they have the shared goal of efficiently managing a large number of tabs.
