Welcome back, TMS users!

The post has been updated! (2025-07-05)

  • I have included a note unambiguously stating that you will need to use only the 'src' folder to load the unpackaged extension into Chrome.
  • I have changed the links to the repository and the ZIP file to download. The PR has now been merged with the original repository!

Had I lost hope? I'll admit it, yeah, pretty much completely. So you can imagine how thrilled I was when I finally saw a light at the end of that tunnel.

2021 was a great year for The Marvellous Suspender. Lots of contributions, ideas, bugfixes and even a not-so-healthy dose of Google updates that have put the add-on and all its users in a difficult spot. Today's article, however, is perhaps conclusive unless we find new blood in development and a new starting point to rethink the add-on and bring it into the future, the one necessarily dictated by Google and its Manifest V3.

I didn’t think I would ever write such an article, yet here we are. I want to tell you very quickly who I am, what I do and what is happening to The Marvellous Suspender, an extension for Google Chrome that has suddenly come under the spotlight since Google decided to block and "withdraw from the market" the original The Great Suspender. This article is published in Italian and also localized in English to allow all new friends who have landed here to better understand the evolution of history.

Thanks!

The Marvellous Suspender is back. Version 7.1.6.1 is the first public release under the new name, picking up where The Great Suspender left off after its removal from the Chrome Web Store.

This initial release is a foundation build: the core suspension logic is intact, the extension icon and branding have been updated, and English is the only locale included. Localizations from the original project will be restored and revised in the next release.

If you were a Great Suspender user, you can install TMS and import your previous settings and session data from the History page.
