I noticed that Tab Suspender will add a timestamp when suspending a youtube tab.

While this seems good in theory, it has continually caused problems. A lot of which surrounds the fact it doesn't always remove the timestamp.

So if you're watching a video, and a few minutes in you go off (open a new tab or whatever) and it suspends, it'll have the timestamp. But if you keep watching and then take off again long enough for it to suspend, when you reload it, it'll go to where it had first timestamped.

I've ran into this problem a lot with long videos. Where I'll watch for 30 minutes, pause it, go do something else. Come back, resume, watch for somewhere towards an hour. And if it get suspended, after reactivating it, it'll jump straight to the 30 minute mark because it never cleared the timestamp.

So, at the very least, can we get an option to turn off this timestamping? I have better luck with Youtube's built in position memory, than trusting Tab Suspender's built in method.

And I've had this issue in Chrome, Opera GX, and Vivaldi for quite a few years. I probably would have submitted a bug report on it sooner if there was an actual listed way to do so. Website, Extension page, and not even the addon list such. The best I could find a way is to either here, or via developer contact. But I don't trust the later since that email is publicly visible thus likely not monitored due to spambots.
