This looks nice!

As I enabled it, I got the normal warning about "This plugin can view all data" etc, and I started looking for a plugin that can show me what servers plugins are connecting to... it seems there is no such thing. Perhaps time to re-enable little snitch.

OneTab is another one to look at. It bundles the tabs into a list instead of leaving them open.

You can also turn tabs into a webpage of a list of links. Very useful for sharing.

For those who don't know: the warning is on any extension that can read and write to the DOM or the page state.

The Great Suspender swaps the entire page out for a placeholder until you re-activate the page.
