Description

Welcome to Tab Restore. With the help by chrome.sessions API released in Chrome 37, Tab Restore can restore the tabs you closed, not only reopen a page with the same URL, but also with the full navigation histories, and even the tabs you closed in the last time you using Chrome. ## Tips ## 1. When you just open Chrome, the tab restore lists may be empty. You need to press Ctrl+Shift+T to restore some closed sessions, and then the last time Chrome closed sessions will be activated. (For Windows users. Chrome for OS X seems OK) ## Update Notes ## ### v0.1.3 (2025.10.16) ### * Thanks to BoB3R@GitHub for helping update the project for Manifest V3 compatibility! ### v0.1.2 (2015.10.23) ### * Bug fixed. ### v0.1.1 (2015.10.23) ### * Window session (n Tabs) now can be expanded and open tab independently. * Text selectability fixed. * Icon set fixed.

absolutely does NOT work with incognito tab restore, even though it asks for permission.

IT was horrible, it did nothing, it didnt restroe any tabs it just made the restore recently closed tabs in chrome a little more usefull, this extension is uselesas and frankly shouldnt be one

Doesn't add much function beyond chrome's built in history restore. If chrome restore can't bring back my tabs this extension can't either which defeats the purpose of adding this extension in the first place.

I relied on it. Worth ever! Only remembers current session. Chrome does the same! Trash.

Doesn't save tabs after quitting and reopening Chrome. No real feature, built-in bookmarks are better

Did not allow me to see tabs from previous session.

You should add the ability to delete tabs from the list of restorable tabs! Removing the extension and re-adding it simply restores the previous list. I want to get rid of them all.

tab restore is okay if you don't really care about your tabs BUT if you are someone like me who cares a lot about them DON'T USE IT
