Don't close tabs when extension is removed

[Anusien]

It would be really nice if this wouldn't close your tabs when the extension is removed.

As much as I like this, the suspended pages appear to just be extension pages with a URL added on. I doubt it's possible because the suspended pages are the extension.

This request is all the more necessary given the vulnerability/hack that occurred in the last couple days, though kudos to @deanoemcke and other contributors for being aware of and working on the issue in a timely manner.

I strongly encourage investing effort in this task/Issue -- the sudden removal of the extension has resulted in a large amount of lost history by my team and substantial lost productivity. I'm not intending to criticize or blame -- this Chrome extension has been really great -- just lending all the support I can urge to addressing this shortcoming to prevent future problems.

Hmm, can someone please enlighten me with some background? What vulnerability/hack occurred, and what does it mean that the extension was removed?
I lost a lot of history, thinking it was my computer.... Is there a way to reload all tabs at once? thanks!

You can re-enable the extension and restore the session in settings.

I'd thought what just happened to me was an issue with the update that popped up when I started up Chrome a few minutes ago, but it sounds like something else may have been involved. It would be nice to know exactly what happened, but it was even nicer to learn that the dozens of suspended tabs I'd had open when I last shut down Chrome could be reopened -- I didnt' even realize this thing had that capability. Thank you very much (and to Anusien for mentioning that feature)!

As far as I am aware, when session buddy crashes, or at least when it crashed for me a few times, it didn't kill tabs, it just stopped working correctly and all I had to do was delete the suspended stuff to get the tab back.

there should be a way to deal with tabs in a better way.

Thankfully both of these things happened while I was away so I was not actively doing shit, so a backup from thread outliner allowed me to get back to square one, but its annoying it came to that at all.
