Description from store
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 ##

- Tab Restore is open source extension written in 2020, you can load it despite chrome's rejection using the steps in this pull request: https://github.com/sonnabanana/tab-restore/pull/3

- Successfully recovered my tabs Thank you
- Indrajith Sunil
- Even my own browser which can restore multiple (100+) tabs as long as it's in the recent history.. I'd unfortunately lost all of them after using a separate set of tabs for a few days and couldn't get it back through the history section of my browser. That's when I came across this and goddayuuum It could even bring back those old tabs. Simply Insane!!!

- absolutely does NOT work with incognito tab restore, even though it asks for permission.
- Chauncey Zen
- In the latest version, when users click on the tab restore icon, the links addresses after every website’s names take too much space that the names for some of the websites can't be viewable or recognizable enough. Could you shorten the length of addresses after each website's name in the next version?

- Minimal, simple, elegant. It functions similarly to google restore, but i like the icon to quickly interact with when i'm flying through things.
- Alex Gene
- It saved me 458 amazon, curry's, argos, etc tabs that I closed before I close a separate window from this profile. I have to say: time and mind saver. imagine trying to go through remembering most or worse try to relaunch them from history. imo with tabs and group tabs and profiles google needs to offer some better management and saving when you chose to keep the tabs open for the next launch to continue where you left of. great extension highly recommended

- Beautiful extension- it can read back past the limited quantity that Chrome does typically, and it allowed me to get back a group of tabs I lost before even installing the extension. You are a beautiful person.

- 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.

- Grant Choe
- 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.

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