A round of fixes and a new migration source: Tab Suspender's park.html tabs can now be imported, and several popup/context-menu actions that had quietly broken are working again.

What's changed​

• New: Migrate park.html tabs from Tab Suspender — one more extension you can leave behind cleanly
• Fixed: "Pause discarding this tab" (previously "Don't discard this tab for now") — the action was not working; also renamed to better reflect what it actually does
• Fixed: Several popup and context-menu actions that had stopped working after the Manifest V3 rewrite — options storage code was largely rewritten to address the root cause
• New: Tab Groups are now optionally displayed on the Profiler page

Full changelog on GitHub: v1.2.0 release

Three things at once: a new name with a small but meaningful tweak, automatic dark mode support, and a feature for users coming over from The Marvellous Suspender or The Great Suspender (notrack) — TGD can now migrate their suspended tabs directly.

What's changed​

Migrate suspended tabs from other extensions​

TGD can now detect and migrate suspended.html tabs from extensions like The Marvellous Suspender and The Great Suspender (notrack). If you're switching to TGD from one of those, your suspended tabs will be converted cleanly rather than left as broken pages.

Automatic dark mode​

The extension UI now follows the system dark mode preference automatically — no manual toggle needed.

New name​

A small but intentional rename to improve visibility and searchability. The internal workings are the same; the presentation is cleaner.

Full changelog on GitHub: v1.1.0 release

A quick follow-up to the Manifest V3 launch: a bug fix and a couple of Profiler page improvements.

What's changed​

• Fixed a tempWhitelist bug introduced during the Manifest V3 migration
• Profiler page now shows tab group and pinned status for each tab
• Profiler page now groups tabs by Window — thanks again to @vapier
• Added a direct link to the Profiler page in the extension popup

Full changelog on GitHub: v1.0.1 release

After nearly four years, TGD is back — and fully up to date. Version 1.0.0 brings the long-awaited migration to Manifest V3, ensuring the extension keeps working as Google phases out Manifest V2 support on the Chrome Web Store.

What's changed​

Manifest V3 migration​

The entire extension has been updated to comply with Chrome's Manifest V3 platform. This was the primary — and almost sole — focus of this release: keeping TGD alive and functional as Google enforces the new extension standards across the Web Store.

Huge thanks to Mike Frysinger (@vapier) for doing all the hard work on the migration.

Full changelog on GitHub: v1.0.0 release

A round of quality-of-life improvements and cleanup: a new bulk-discard command, cleaner options layout, and a leaner codebase.

What's changed​

• New popup command to discard all eligible tabs based on current options (no force, respects whitelist and other settings)
• Discard at startup option now has its own settings group with clearer visibility
• New option to enable links to the browser's built-in Discards page (chrome://discards)
• Options tab now switches to an existing tab instead of always opening a new one
• Updated HTML layout with heavier font and tweaked styling for readability
• Standardized and formatted HTML and CSS files
• Removed the time-grunt dependency
• Removed nag prompts
• General logging cleanup

Full changelog on GitHub: v0.2.1 release

Version 7.1.6.2 brings back multilingual support and addresses a series of issues raised by the community since the initial launch.

What's changed​

• Reduced permissions — The set of required permissions has been trimmed. Because this change affects the extension manifest, users need to reinstall TMS to benefit from the smaller permission footprint.
• Analytics removed — All analytics tracking code has been stripped out. No data is collected or sent anywhere.
• Deprecated libraries removed — Code dependencies that were no longer actively maintained have been dropped.
• Dark mode improvements — The suspended tab page now renders more reliably in dark mode.
• Session scroll fix — Resolved the issue where a tab would jump back to the top of the page when opened from a saved session.
• Import from TGS — You can now import session data saved by the original The Great Suspender extension.
• Localizations restored — Multiple languages are back, though some translations are still incomplete. Contributions are welcome via Crowdin.

⚠️ Things to be aware of​

• Suspended incognito tabs are closed without recovery during an extension update, because TMS cannot access private browsing sessions.
• Some users have reported issues with Chrome's Tab Groups after updating. The team is aware and investigating.

Full changelog on GitHub: 7.1.6.2 release

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.

What's in this release​

• Core tab suspension and unsuspension logic carried over from The Great Suspender
• Updated name, icon, and branding
• English locale only (other languages coming in 7.1.6.2)
