    The icon should stay the same as the original page when sleeping. The only time it doesn't do this is if you closed the browser and re-opened it. In this case the only way to get the original icon back is simply to switch to that tab. Whenever I restart the browser and all the tabs are showing zzZ, I just hold down CTRL+TAB for a while and let all the tabs load. Then they get their original icon back. There is unfortunately no way to fix the icon problem in this case due to security restrictions.

    that's odd. There was a bug in earlier versions where the "un-suspend tab" button sometimes didn't work under very specific conditions, but that has been corrected a while ago. It can take a while to re-load the page if that page is slow. But you can always just click on the URL shown as it's also a hyperlink. It does the same thing as the button just in a different way for when the button might not work for some reason. If you decide to remove the extension, first un-suspend all tabs, otherwise you will lose them all when you remove the extension.

    Works really great love it, have been using it for a year now, small remark though its been 3-4 months since everytime i try to "suspend other tabs" it crashes my opera GX, hence having to individually suspend tabs. And upon opening after crash all my tabs are closed... not that serious since they were all in history but it really messed up my groups and workflow. Oh and may i suggest adding a shortcut for suspending tabs.

    I assume you mean it did that when you removed the extension? That's unfortunately how every extension works when you remove it and it has tabs open. But you CAN get those tabs back from your history in a few different ways: 1. manually convert every URL to the original one by extracting the URL part and running it through a url decoder. example URL: chrome-extension://bkmaopaigmniimdmfbngnjgfiaoieijh/suspended.html?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&title=Google&favIconUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gstatic.com%2Fimages%2Fbranding%2Fsearchlogo%2Fico%2Ffavicon.ico grab the part between url=... and &title, so https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F then run that through https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/ to get the original URL 2. reinstall the extension then: 2a. hit CTRL+SHIFT+T multiple times until you get all your tabs back 2b. open all the tabs from your history, then for each tab you'll have to enter into the URL bar (either by clicking there or pressing F6) and then hit ENTER then you can use the function to un-suspend all tabs, and THEN you can remove the extension. Hope this helps!
