The fix is trivial enough that I feel confident to make
it part of current RC cycle. There are many reports of
block page at launch on Chromium.
The fix is to let the platform pick it's natural suspend
state rather than force it. Once advanced settings are
read, the suspend state will for toggled only if
`suspendTabsUntilReady` is either `yes` or `no`. This
there should no longer be blocked page on Chromium at
launch when using default settings.

Originally the idea was to hide from view the
popup panel layout seemingly being recalculated
by the browser at open time, causing visuals in
the popup panel to slightly move around. Possibly
no longer an issue now that the popup panel
initialization code has been modified since then
to use animation frames.

There is probably more work to do regarding the
shown URL -- it might be better to truncate it
on small screen display since it can be quite
long sometimes.
In rare instances -- though it definitely happens
eventually -- the popup panel viewport width is seen as
insufficiently wide enough and as a result the popup panel
is toggled into vertical-layout mode.
The added code uses animation frames to delay the
code testing the viewport width. Hopefully this will
work.
The old "classic" popup panel will still be used
when at least one of the following is true:
- advanced setting `uiFlavor` is set to `classic`; or
- the browser is Chromium 65 or older; or
- the browser is Firefox 67 or older
The default configuration of the new popup panel
at installation time is to show the power button,
statistics and the basic tool icons, i.e. access
to dashboard, logger, pickers.
For existing installations, the new popup panel
will be configured by respecting the existing
configuration of the classic one.
The new popup panel is currently already in use
on Firefox for Android, and the visual redesign
was made according to suggestions and feedback
from <https://github.com/brampitoyo> to be
optimal for Firefox for Android.
The new popup panel will allow closing the following
