Google Chrome has blocked the trendy extension The Great Suspender

The Great Suspender extension allowed to “suspend” inactive Chrome tabs, with which the user has not been working for a while, replacing them with a blank gray screen. Everyone knows that Chrome is resource-intensive, which is why the extension has become extremely popular in a relatively short time.

This open-source extension was sold at the end of last year to an unknown company that added an exploit to execute any code without your knowledge, which is why the extension has already been removed from the Microsoft Edge browser. Still, until then, it was available in Chrome.

So far, neither Google nor the new owner of The Great Suspender has released any statements regarding the incident.
