Simple Window Saver

Got a new laptop and learned that Chrome might stop supporting this extension because it doesn't follow best practices. I added and tried several other tab savers, but I had to come back to this one--it's the simplest to use! It allows me to name windows and save them as a group, then easily access and update so I can open them as a group again. My only wish is that I could have saved my old windows on my last laptop.

Note here for anyone who can no longer open a certain Window. If you have any tabs that are downloaded files, such as a pdf that you downloaded and opened via chrome browser, that will cause errors and crash the saved window group. To fix this, you need to go to your extensions and enable developer mode, then right click on the extension icon and click inspect. From there click the Console tab, then local data, then you can find your window and each tab. This will look like computer coding stuff. Then it will list out tabs 0-... expand each area and you will see the URLs you saved. Copy and reopen, then save as a new Window. Going forward, do not exit your saved Window if there are any downloaded files you are viewing via the browser tabs, or it will CRASH your saved window.

This was a fantastic extension—so good that I ended up developing my own version! If you're looking for it, search for "Session Saver". https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/session-saver/gejcpmbmjpelcbjlgkabmilioacbnhni By the way, I added an automatic saving feature that leverages Chrome's native bookmark functionality to ensure data persistence. It reliably saves your sessions in bookmarks, making sure your data is secure even if something unexpected happens.

There is a bug, I have 3 windows saved, however, I cannot restore window 3, I click on it and nothing happens

LOVED this extension, but it's barely working now. Can't save any new windows (I've tried deleting several I had saved to make room, but no go). And I just lost progress on about 8 windows with dozens of tabs each. When I reopened them, they were at where they were a couple of weeks ago. What's going on here??

used to work but after latest update i lose all saved windows pretty often

Latest update seems to have broken it, I click the group and nothing happens.

Every once in a while loses all my saved windows, seems to have happened with the latest update.

Reliable, works simply and well. Like it a lot!

Does what it's supposed to except that it doesn't save tab groups. This would really be a great feature.

Love it! Use it constantly. Would be nice to be able to save the window tab info to a file for transfer to other browsers or if re-installing Chrome

Excellent, I use this everyday, its a huge time saver and great organizer for my workflows. 10 stars!

I love this tool to organize my windows or specific tasks (like research to specific topics) and being able to close and restore it any time. There's just one annoying thing: Why is there no quick-search to search through saved windows?! This would help a lot for those using this tool excessively :)

Давно хотел использовать расширение, которое автоматически сохраняет окна при изменениии состава вкладок. Другие расширения для работы с сессиями этого не делают.

I really liked this extension long time, but suddenly (after update?!) ALL saved Windows gone lost. Such things should NOT happen for a good developed extension!!!

It's pretty useful if you don't turn off your computer, but if you do you not only lose the windows it saved but they don't show up in your search history so you can't retrieve it later, I had dozens of recipes and job listings open and now they're all gone.

Doesn't work. Using it on Brave - it says my session of 24 tabs is saved, but when I try to open the session, my current window gets closed and no new windows open.

This is a great extension until they update, then it wipes out all your saved tab groups. I had at least 30 and now they are gone which is very frustrating. I only wish they had a search of saved tab groups to make it ease to find them if you have a lot. I will keep using this extension but only for temporary groups, it's to dangerous to loose all saved groups to trust it for more.

Сперва подумал что нашел то самое, но увы - нет. Работаю с разными проектами, в одной сессии до 25-30 необходимый вкладок. И таск менеджер и тайм трекер и гитхаб и либы используемые открыты и дизайны/макеты и баг трекер и playMarket + iStore. В целом довольно много всего под 1 конкретный проект. И все было превосходно, пока плагин не стал: 1) Менять имена сессий (сессия где были вкладки под проект - теперь открывается сессия про звукозапись) 2) Делать сессии пустыми (0 вкладок) Так что приходится искать альтернативу, а жаль. Полгода пользовался - проблем не знал.

I liked this extension a lot...until they released an updated and it cleared out all of my saved groups

Great app :)

Works great on Chrome, but seems to delete all saved sessions on Brave when it is updated. Anyway to prevent this?

This is exactly what I needed. No useless features or buttons that do nothing. Window tabs automatically save when closed.

The perfect solution for a Tab Ninja! I usually have 30+ tabs at the same time with CMS, CRM, Facebook Ads, Google Ads and so forth. It's a mess. But this helps me keep tabs organized and it speeds up my workflow. Thank you!

업뎃하니까 있던거 다날라감..

This is a fantastic aid! It works. I save lots of Chrome windows with numerous tabs and can then shut any window to save computing power and ram and easily open them all up when I need them. It also helps as a backup when Chrome or the computer shuts down unexpectedly and Chrome doesn't automatically restore all the open windows. Thank you very much!

This is a must have. It's basic functionality that should have been included in base Chrome ages ago

Love it! Enables me to categorise my tabs and save memory/CPU.
