When the extension updates or is disabled or uninstalled, this process is killed and all tabs that belong to it are removed from the browser.įor this reason, I try to keep the number of updates to the extension to a minimum.
This means that the tab is now controlled by the extension process. The Great Suspender works by redirecting a tab to a new url in order to 'suspend' it. My suspended tab says 'This site cannot be reached' How to recover lost tabs without The Great Suspender How to recover lost tabs with The Great Suspender
What is the safe way to update the extension What is the safe way to remove the extension? Why do my tabs disappear when the extension updates or is removed? This is the number one pain point of the extension and here I will attempt to address why this is an issue, and what you can do if affected by it. This is the official issue for users trying to recover from tab loss due to an update of the extension, or following removal/disabling of the extension.
