Title: New massive issue started happening on Edge Beta :( I'm using the chrome version on edge because it was updated more recently. The issue I'm facing now is that when I reopen the browser after it's closed I'm seeing a ton of "New Tab" tabs which replaced the ones that were suspended before I closed the window :\ This makes the extension completely unusable.. please fix it when you can before this issue goes to Edge Stable. Also please update the extension to be compatible with Manifest v3 requirements so it continues to work.

I *really* want to recommend this extension. Functionally it has pretty much everything I could want from a tab hibernator, and when it works, which is the vast majority of the time it is amazing, far better than the gazillions of other extensions I've tried. The problem comes when there is an unrecoverable issue, which in my experience has happened twice in several years. That's not so bad you might think, and in many cases it is not. However I routinely have hundreds of tab open with the aid of this extension, and if a problem occurs that necessitates reinstalling the extension, there is no way to reinstate the tabs you had open before. I believe this is a major flaw in the design, but one that I think would be fairly straightforward to fix. Or maybe not, what do I know? Either way, if the thought of losing all your open tabs frightens you, you may want to think of another solution. For normal people however, who don't have stupid numbers of tabs open, it's great.
