The Great Suspender once again contains malware
Happened in (2021)[https://github.com/greatsuspender/thegreatsuspender/issues/1...], and then a few others have forked the extension and tried to revive it, only to eventually sell to nefarious owners or sell user data themselves

Great suspender contains malware, what to do next?
I went to github and downloaded the last known "good version, installed it manually."

People often recommend open source apps for malware free apps. But has there ever been a case where a *popular* open source project was found to be malicious after some time?

> TLDR: The old maintainer appears to have sold the extension to parties unknown, who have malicious intent to exploit the users of this extension in advertising fraud, tracking, and more. In v7.1.8 of the extension (published to the web store but NOT to GitHub), arbitrary code was executed from a remote server, which appeared to be used to commit a variety of tracking and fraud actions. After Microsoft removed it from Edge for malware, v7.1.9 was created without this code: that has been the code distributed by the web store since November, and it does not appear to load the compromised script. However, the malicious maintainer remains in control, however, and can introduce an update at any time. It further appears that, while v7.1.9 was what was listed on the store, those who had the hostile v7.1.8 installed did NOT automatically receive the malware-removing update, and continued running the hostile code until Google force-disabled the extension.

Is the SingleFile extension flagged as high risk by ChromeStats (link), just because of the nature of it saving your page ?
For what it is worth, you may have heard of the Great Suspender incident (https://github.com/greatsuspender/thegreatsuspender/issues/1263). It was used by millions, and was also open source on GitHub, but it could still end up becoming malicious.

Behold the Android-Windows ecosystem.
Long ass comment: That is not true for the most part. While the increased amount of individuals working of an OSS project may lead to better vulnerability detection according to both parties of the closed-source/proprietary debate, it doesn't lead to a massively more secure software overall. Not all reviewers have the similar experience or expertise and, because of it, not everyone will be able to review, identify or patch any flaws or vulnerability of a specific software since it may require other skills beyond just basic programming skills such as network or cryptographic skills. [1] Some even suggested that the large number of users contributing to the project can lead people "into a false sense of security." [2] Overall, some papers conclude that being an open source software or a proprietary software isn't an important factor for security and suggest considering other factors, such as the particular vendor/maintainer that controls the entire process. [3] After all, what if the maintainer decides to sabotage their own code? What if the project was sold to another maintainer for its own shaddy needs?

How much RAM does a react developer require in 2021/22?
If you're referring to The Great Suspender, that extension was bought by an advertising company earlier this year. I'm using the last good version (github) though.

I was JUST notified that The Great Suspender is malware. How screwed am I?
I've been using the marvelous suspender since I found out about great suspender and it works exactly the same way. There is also a discussion somewhere in GitHub about ways to recover tabs lost when great suspender was removed, but I can't find it just yet. https://github.com/gioxx/MarvellousSuspender

You could use The Marvellous Suspender (github link) which took over the older version and has import options.

Chrome eats all my committed ram, I've set 30G virtual memory plus 16G physical ram, I only have 4 tabs open
When I was using Windows I had the same problems you mentioned. Not that it has on other operating systems, but on Windows it is a little more pronounced! Anyway, whenever I remember, I recommend this tool to people here: Firemin. It works no chrome, firefox and any other I wanted to test! I've never tested regarding virtual memory, but with physical hardware memory, it works. Another extension I use for when I have a lot of tabs open is this one: The Marvellous Suspender https://github.com/gioxx/MarvellousSuspender Quit suspending the tabs I'm not using after X minutes. There's a tab here that you can't lose configuration, you can configure it for site X not to be suspended!

Ver. 104: Another trouble free update
If you logout and get back in (and you have it configured to restore opened tabs) it will load to blank tabs and you have to either wake them all from the context menu or one by one by clicking on them. Happened once before a few versions ago, it's reported here
