However, if you delete The Great Suspender, all the tabs paused by The Great Suspender will also disappear. As a result, users who have deleted The Great Suspender following the popup's guidance are saying, 'I want to restore the disappeared tabs.'
So, here's how to restore a tab that has actually disappeared. The latest version of The Great Suspender (v7.1.8) saves the tab by adding the string 'klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg' to the URL when pausing. Therefore, if you search for this string 'klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg' from 'History', a list of paused tabs will be displayed.
Since more than 100 tabs were open, restoration seems to be extremely difficult, but I was killed! !!

However, to restore the original tab from here, you need to tweak the URL. For example, if the tab of ' https://gigazine.net ' was paused, it would be 'chrome-extension: //klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg/suspended.html#ttl = (omitted) & uri = https://gigazine.net ' As you can see, the original URL is written under '& uri =' at the end, so you can extract it.
