Marcus Voltolim (ID: 00000086ba8f05a1) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 05/01/2021 The TIMER configuration in the plugin, considers from the moment the plugin was activated, and not when the tab was active, what is the logic? If you configure 3 minutes, all tabs are frozen after 3 minutes of activating the plugin, no matter if the tab was opened 1 minute ago. Plugin has potential, but this configuration is crude. The timeout should count from the tab was activated.

Jędrzej Kożuch (ID: 000000743f99da0f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/09/2021 I don't get it. The extension will eventually work, but the result is uncertain. I thought it works by setting the time, and if the tab was not visited by that time it goes into the sleep mode, but instead of that it sends all tabs to sleep and even if I visit any of it, it will still be in the sleep mode. Also the number by the icon makes no sense. it goes from 1 to -130.
