• (2025-06-05) Martin Šalgovič: Great and useful extension but unfortunately blocked by Google as unsupported. There's a replacement extension for this named vapier's tabs backup.
• (2025-04-08) Brent Newland: Incredible. Why can't every session backup program save your tabs every X minutes? -edit- Years later and this is still the best and most reliable session backup extension. I really hope the author updates it so I can keep using it.

• (2025-01-28) MrGhostMark: This is great when the browser does not restore tabs after a crash.
• (2025-01-20) William Mayhew: I am not sure why you want to remove this app. I have been using it for at least 5 years and find it extremely useful, never any issues...it works. While I understand it is simple in offering, it is what I need. Looking at other options, while the functions may be impressive, they are somewhat complicated and more than I need. "Tabs Backup and Restore" does what I need. It's simplicity and ease of use is ideal. Try to keep it available.
• (2025-01-12) Kevin Wood: Has worked well enough - recovering my hundreds of pages in a dozen windows when, a couple timea a year it seems, Chrome crashes (usually during/after an update) and doesn't reopen all the pages. Biggest complaint (request for improvement) is that it save Tab Groups along with all the pages and then reopen each window with all the pages grouped in the (also saved) tabs. Also, would be great if it would reopen a window with all but one page, or at least one page per tab group, "hibernated" (or whatever it's called when it's there but not loaded). Opening and loading a hundred pages at once kinda chokes the computer - making most everything non-responsive as it takes a very long time.
• (2024-12-07) Veeresh Devireddy: Very useful extension, but can you please add option to save Incognito Window's tabs also?
• (2024-06-05) Artemi Lebedev: Can't export( Where are the backups themselves located?
• (2024-05-31) Denis Roger: You will lose all your tabs. Do NOT trust this useless extension. You click restore and it does nothing.
• (2024-05-15) Piotr Ficner: Fajne rozszerzenie, ale niestety w momencie kiedy zrestartowałem komputer to restore nie działa na wszystkie okna, tylko na jedno, próbowałem advanced restore i nic. Klikam przywróć ale nie otwiera tego okna.
• (2024-03-06) Badr Elmers: this extension is dead, there is a new fork that solved all the problems and added excellent new options here https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/vapiers-tabs-backup/maonpfakiajhbgnapbpaipaidkpppfmj
• (2024-02-27) Flippa_da_Boss: I recommend setting the backup options to every 4hrs, easier to manage your backups this way.

• (2024-02-15) Derek Antrican: WARNING: this will fail to restore a tab if it is pointing to a local file (eg if you have a PDF open in your browser) and that may also cause THE ENTIRE WINDOW TO FAIL TO RESTORE. Fortunately, you can use the "Advanced Restore" option to go to that Window, select all tabs, then unselect the tab for the local file. Then you can restore the window without that tab. Otherwise this extension works great and provides great peace of mind though Windows Updates, browser updates, or other issues that might cause you to lose your open tabs.

• (2023-11-06) art4droid: restore avoids to restore 1 window with tabs, even manually restoring the window, nothing happens... Update: Found out its the tabs with opened PDF stored on disk, that prevents opening whole window group. Chrome does that with some online pdfs, downloads and opens it rightaway.

• (2023-04-26) Jose Lu: Does not work with tab groups. Tends to crash browser when restoring since it keeps the old windows open. Does not save the workspace or the history for each tab. Also, most important, is that even though it has an account with the website, it does not allow to restore tabs on another computer, which is a badly needed feature for those who work with more than 1 computer, which should be easily more than half of the users.

• (2023-02-14) Joshua Escarilla: This extension is very useful. But it's kind of difficult to determine which backup I want to restore because there is no title aside from the timestamp. Maybe one field is enough for us to input the title, so we don't get lost if we want to find a specific backup that we want to restore. I guess that's only the missing ability of this extension; otherwise, it would be a 5-star already.

• (2023-01-16) Rocky: Sadly, like most Tab extensions, Tabs Backup & Restore fails to deliver on what it claims. For example, it is limited to `only' recent history. As a result of using, I had to pianstakingly go through my Chrome history to restore many tabs that Tabs Backup & Restore failed to store. Tabs Backup & Restore is severely crippled by its failure to record tab/window history, since it `only' stores 1 or 2 days worth.

• (2023-01-02) Henry Goodelman: Wow! FINALLY A SINGLE TAB CHROME EXTENSION THAT RESTORES AND SAVES SESSIONS WHEN CHROME CRASH DOESN'T RETURN THEM. BRAVO. One time this extension was not turned on for me some how though, so I did lose mass browsing history in that instance.

• (2022-10-28) djvj: Excellent backup solution. Just make sure to set backups to 80 and timing to at least 10 minutes otherwise it might not go back far enough. Should be able to hold more than 80 though. UPDATE 10/28/2022 Does not support chromes new Tab Groups feature. Making this extension useless if you use that, which I do. Please update the extension.

• (2022-10-04) Allan Laal: only restores URLs, not actual sessions. does not save Workspace info. incapable for dealing with large-ish tab sets of (~1000 tabs in 200 windows). waste of time!

• (2022-03-26) Xalomon: This does not restore tabs, just opens new tab with saved URL (you lose the pages Back button goes to on the tabs.) Useless for many tabs (if you close a window with many tabs and use Recently Closed to open it, everything is fine. If you use this extension then ALL tabs want to be loaded in memory which makes Chrome and sometimes the entire system hang.)
