Chrome removes the Great Suspender Extension!
The Great Suspender is an extension which automatically makes your excess tabs to sleep or shut down if it is not in use for a while. The tabs that were shut down would feature a blank grey screen which on reloading gives back your screen. Chrome has a tendency of hogging your computer’s memory up to a major extend. But, the extension was a perfect solution since it would not close the old tabs but won’t keep it open either. Thus, it’s quite resourceful in terms of Chrome’s RAM consumption and enabling smoother run for your browser.
The Great Suspender version 7.1.8 came in with a malware. It was quite a mess because this malware allows any kind of code to run in your computer without your knowledge. And that is extremely threatening. Microsoft Edge’s got rid of this extension, a long while ago due to this threat. Later, an exploit free update of the Great Suspender came out and so, the Chrome Web Store kept it.

Page 404 shows up on the screen if you try to access the extension through any link from Chrome. According to their report, the extension contains malware due to which Google took this step.
