Yup! And essentially killed tons of my tabs, and some I put in One Tab unsuspended. Why did Google decide that I should not have a say in this?! Why it didn't give me an option (I had developer mode turned on, for example)? Thank God I have Session Buddy to kinda limit the damage! Read more here [0]!
Out of curiosity, can you explain to me what kind of workflow you have that requires you to have lots of tabs concurrently open?
Maybe it's my own neuroses, but that would feel to me like writing notes and never clicking "save". I get anxious if I have more than 5 or 10, and I'll usually bookmark any tabs that I really need.
Besides why you work this way, I'm curious how? How can you keep track of large numbers of tabs open at one time?
Well, it's something like read/watch later. Or jumping between resources, which essentially I forget open, and once or twice a day I clean them. To be honest, the extension never actually solved any issues, because memory does not drop as promised - I'm not even sure why. And guess what happens if you have 50 tabs, which you want to unsuspend at once - often Chrome crashes. In general, there's no more inefficient piece of software than Chrome. You open the same pretty plain pages in Chrome and Safari and you see the vast difference in resource utilization. I am switching to Microsoft Edge as it now has automatic tab suspension, vertical tabs, and many more features. Oh, and a better sync service - Chrome encrypting your sync data with decades old password and not allowing you to change it is pathetic! Or using Google's password, but then you need to remember your initial Google password as if you change it, the sync password doesn't change. Outstanding Google engineering! Not to mention that I can't delete password en masse in its password manager, and I have some old password that are no longer valid, but I can't just wipe them all. Oh, well...

If they don't have time for code evaluation, how about at least informing users and allow them to uninstall.
Update:
Oh, who am I kidding. Ggole will probably ignore the sane/simple solution and go for an machine learning approach that does not even work.
