It's working great!
But I have a question. I often open the same tab session. There are a lot of tabs. On some of them I used the "Don't suspend this tab" option.
How can I see which tabs have this option activated? Or maybe I can disable this option for all tabs at once? Thanks!

Been using for over a year. Works automatically in the background and I've been able to have close to a hundred brower tabs which are suspended. It allows to modify the time before suspending, from 5 seconds to 1 hour. Highly recommend.
