Upcoming changes to the management of The Great Suspender · Issue #1175 · greatsuspender/thegreatsuspender

Hi everyone. I'd like to announce some changes to the administration of The Great Suspender project. It's been almost 8 years since the first release of The Great Suspender to the Chrome Web Store....

github.com

I now only install chrome extensions in developer mode with the load unpacked button - this disables updates.
Or use iridium browser - it does not update extensions.

Google has delisted the popular extension The Great Suspender for containing malware, and is proactively disabling the extension.

The project has been open-source forked as the Marvellous Suspender.
