Paul Dowsett (ID: 0000003d7ed14cce) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/06/2021 Excellent extension, that I highly recommend. Just a note to the developer - you should probably remove the note about The Great Suspender. The rights were sold, and the new maintainer has embedded some malware. See https://github.com/greatsuspender/thegreatsuspender/issues/1263
