All of sudden the The Great Suspender extension has been flagged by Google as having malware? Does anyone know if this is true?

We had everyone on this at work. Have since switched to the Great Discarder. Not quite as good, but still gets the job done.

I used to work at a company with very intense security restrictions. Layers of passwords and 2 factor auth to do anything, secured company laptop needed to access even email, etc etc.

But they still didn't restrict chrome extensions, which seemed odd to me.
