@greatsuspender
Hopefully this is a case of Chrome overreaching and auto-detections has interpreted some code wrong!
Unsurprising after #1263
This is likely not an overreach. The new maintainer of this extension has been acting shady for a few months.
I had quite a few tabs removed when chrome pulled this extension.
Anyone know if there's a way to restore them?
@deanoemcke
Same here @dmihal 😞
Alternatives to this extension?
Goodness, you only had ONE job to do.
I feel dumb for not knowing this was an ongoing issue. :/ time to change all the passwords
@dmihal, you should be able to press the back button on your browser and get the page back. You can also look at the URL, for example: chrome-extension://klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg/suspended.html#ttl=Data.Argonaut.Core%20-%20purescript-argonaut-core%20-%20Pursuit&pos=3908&uri=https://pursuit.purescript.org/packages/purescript-argonaut-core/4.0.1/docs/Data.Argonaut.Core
. You can get the URL for the page you were on from the last query parameter, uri
.

The original URL is embedded inside the TGS url, you can decode it and reopen the tab that way.
EDIT: beaten by @azuzunaga
Is there any way to recover currently suspended tabs when the extension was removed? Or do I have to manually reopen each tab
EDIT: Nevermind - answered already
how to force chrome to enable the extension? they disabled it without warning, all tabs are lost.
@daviavmello I went back to the last release before ownership transfer, https://github.com/greatsuspender/thegreatsuspender/releases/tag/v7.1.6.
To install it, download and unpack tgs-7.1.6.zip
. Then go to your chrome extension settings and click on load unpacked. Select the unpacked folder and you should be good to go. You'll lose your settings, including the whitelist.
I have just followed the instructions at the bottom of #1263 to get the most recent version before the malicious maintainer arrived. Is working fine and i will keep it that way unless we can an answer/ any changes to the existing code.
Chrome just close all of my suspended tab and I have no chance to restore it. ha
Looking at tab history, 90% of my suspended tabs were all opened at the same time when I launched chrome so there is a nice timestamp where you can re-open and then manually fix the tabs if you want them re-opened
Well, this now kicks me in the ass to finally switch over to the last build before the new maintainer took over.
Just have to figure out how to get all my tabs back.. because Google are atrocious at giving users any control.
Edit: Figured something out: https://github.com/greatsuspender/thegreatsuspender/issues/1304#issuecomment-773528627

Go into your chrome history and find the suspended tabs, and just take the URL from them as described above in this thread
Can anyone point what security issues this extension had?

Isn't the version number identical to the current release?
By the way, for me, the old release has an ID/hash "ileadlglecldmodljgiolifnolmmnkid", whereas the one on the chrome web store is "klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg". After you installed the old version, go to session management, export, find and replace the ID in your sessions.txt, and import session. If it works, you may close your outdated windows.
I'll be switching to The Marvellous Suspender
- a fork of TheGreatSuspender without any tracking
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/the-marvellous-suspender/noogafoofpebimajpfpamcfhoaifemoa/
I had read those articles and still not switched away from this extension, so my 2000+ suspended tabs in limbo is due to my inaction. There's no medicine for regret.

@csis0247 latest version available on Chrome before it got pulled was 7.1.8. It contained code that wasn't on Github so that was what set off alarms for some people.
I'm using this extensions as alternative working greate so far. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/the-marvellous-suspender/noogafoofpebimajpfpamcfhoaifemoa?hl=en

Works perfectly. Hope it is safe.

@dmihal, I imagine you can examine your browser history (ctrl+h) and restore those tabs.
i am trying to find a way to move my previously saved sessions of TGS to the marvelous suspender i just installed
As many have said before you can open the browser history and in the search bar, input the extension ID. (klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg) Then get the real URL from the URI as @azuzunaga said.
But how to do this with hundreds of tabs? @frantonio
Yeah, getting an individual tab is not the issue.
browser history has no sign of TGS, all of my suspended tabs got completely wiped out, they dont exist in the windows or in the browser history.
i read this https://github.com/greatsuspender/thegreatsuspender/issues/557 and saved these folders
Chrome/Default/IndexedDB/chrome-extension_klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg_0.indexeddb.blob Chrome/Default/IndexedDB/chrome-extension_klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg_0.indexeddb.leveldb
I am trying to figure out a way to just re-use those for the marvelous suspender
Install TMS, exit Chrome, rename everything with TGS's ID (klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg) to TMS's ID (noogafoofpebimajpfpamcfhoaifemoa), launch Chrome?
Alternatives to this extension?
I just started using Edge's built in "Sleeping Tabs"
I had a backup of 100+ tabs within the extension (the tabs weren't suspended, I saved the session with those tabs so I could suspend them again later), is there any way I can recover it?
i installed the 7.1.6 version of TGS in hope that it would be able to view my saved sessions, but it doesnt. May be restarting browser will help?
You can recover the tabs by navigating to your history (chrome://history) and searching for the extension prefix URLs: chrome-extension://klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg/suspended.html
i.e.
chrome://history/?q=chrome-extension%3A//klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg/suspended.html
Yeah. wonder why Chrome took so long. Apparently Edge did this since Nov.2020
But how to do this with hundreds of tabs? @frantonio
In my case I lost around a dozen tabs so doing it manually wasn't that annoying, and because I clear my history once/twice a month, they were still in the history. For hundreds I am not really sure but I was considering before, following this procedure to re-enable momentarily TGS. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27080848/edited-chrome-extension-chrome-thinks-it-is-malware
Pressing back does not always work. First of all, it does not appear to give you the suspended page, but the one prior to it in the history. And if there's NO prior page, you can't go back. At least under the settings I was using (using the built-in tab discarding), if that makes a difference.

Sadly that does not work, the best option is to find it in your history. Or do not remove the extension until you grab all of the URLs
I have make a little try turn off your network and reopoen chrome The extension would be appear again and you can save session from it. In my Windows10 it can save my current session just 1hours ago. but in my mac I can only see my saved session. Anyway better than find it from history page cause I have hundres of tabs opening
i tried copypasting the content of the TGS folders into the new folders that i suppose were created for/by the marvelous suspender but the old sessions dont appear :/
i really need to restore my old sessions
Please complete the following information when submitting a feature request or bug report.
