The Great Suspender (notrack) Extension

The Great Suspender - Without Analytics Tracking

Codebase: https://github.com/aciidic/thegreatsuspender-notrack

I take no credit for this code, I'm simply putting it on the web store because I have trouble trusting all the other Great Suspender extensions and this one comes directly from the latest (7.1.12 notrack) release by aciidic.

The Great Suspender - Without Analytics Tracking

PLEASE NOTE: If you are switching to this extension from a different version of TheGreatSuspender, first export your tabs from the plugin settings window then, after updating, re-import your suspended tabs. Alternatively unsuspend (or bookmark) your existing suspended tabs before upgrading - you can find \"unsuspend all tabs\" by clicking on the extension icon in the top right corner of Chrome

Import/Export Instructions: https://i.imgur.com/jgr0qEd.png

This is a modified version of \"The Great Suspender\" to remove analytics tracking and rogue .js files from anonymous developer who is now in control of the GitHub source & web store versions.

Don't do it (ID: 0000007294715268) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/06/2023 It is too good. I can't find any that can match how intuitive and fast it is. It's a pity that it was only programmed for browsers that use Blink engine (Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi, Edge, etc) and is not available with Gecko engine (Firefox).
