The Great Suspender Chrome ext has been flagged

Yeah looks it is. https://9to5google.com/2021/02/04/the-great-suspender-extens...

So they sold out to a malware company?

Looks like it. :-(

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.
