Under Suspend Settings, can you add option to automatically restore page when visited please?

Work as intended. Would have loved to have the option where the extension takes a snapshot of the screen then suspends it. Resuming the tab would also directly remove the temporary snapshot. Would also loved for it to offer different tab title and color customization whenever a tab gets suspended i.e. being able to make suspended tabs to be shown clearly. If one or both gets implemented, i'll of course change the score to 5 right away.

By far — the best replacement for TGS or TMS functionality out of the dozen-plus options I've tested. Yet actively developing nonetheless. A few thoughts on the current state (10/06/2025): -There is a discrepancy in terms: when 'suspend' is chosen as the default method, pressing 'discard all eligible tabs' SUSPENDS them, not discards. (Actually, why only implement either 'mass suspend' OR 'mass discard'? An option to suspend tabs based on a whitelisted filter first, AND then discard all (including suspended ones) via two different menu buttons seems much more interesting.) -Migration from TGS/TMS can crash the browser if too many tabs are migrated simultaneously (in my case, 1.2k). I think it would be bearable if migration is split into ~50-tab cycles with a pause in between. -Hotkey for 'suspend selected tabs' would be great too.
