- Snooze: Temporarily prevent autosuspension on a specific tab or domain
- Whitelist: Excludes specifics domains, pages, tabs or pinned tabs.

Reviews of tiny suspender:
I've been using this extension going on two years now and it does it exactly what it says. It saves memory and usually makes my life easier... as someone working with software, I often have into the 30s+ in tabs open. You can customize it to not suspend websites or specific pages as well. Even though I have a lot of memory, this simple extension makes chrome my go-to despite its tendency to act like it needs more than 3 gigs max of ram to run multiple videos at once.
I used to stand by this Extension until settings STOPPED Working! No matter what time you put in this app suspends tabs almost immediately! It also does NOT work according to "White Listed" tabs and You'll LOSE Comments on Twitter or other sites when they too are all SUSPENDED!
BEWARE. Once you enable it-- there appears to be no way to back out of having your tabs controlled by it. If you disable, tabs it has suspended are lost. If you try "unsuspend all," no go. You're stuck. Tell it not to suspend any more tabs? It keeps doing so. And it obfuscates tab icons / names when it suspends. Naughty naughty, hard to work with.
