Gav Col - GTS 2025-10-21: @teddy.io, you legend !!! I have used and loved this extension for 10+ yrs. It's a shame it hasn't been updated in so long and now disabled. Sadly I've had to look for an an alternative and found the "Super Session Manager" It looks and feels exactly the same (and has been updated Oct 2025 at time of writing). https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/apkaoclnnejpmhhbgmehcaekkfnomedd?utm_source=item-share-cb
artj0mka 2025-07-24: This extension was turned off because it is no longer supported!!! We LOST EVERY SINGLE ONE SAVED SESSION!!!
Jeremy 2025-07-15: amazing extension for years. Now google turned it off because it doesnt leak enough privacy data to them.
Luis Fabian Ruiz Lopez (Baka Sensei) 2025-07-14: Best way to keep the pages I want in a click. Unfortunetaly this is no more. Dam google and compatibility.
HexCode h3x.c0d3 2025-07-14: the worst I have ever used. Now google switched it off, and cannot recover my saved sessions.
Jason A 2025-07-14: Love this extension, please ensure compatibility with Google's "best practices" for extensions so we can have this beautiful piece of work back!
Kamil Chehab (Bluescape) 2025-07-13: I've been using this extension since almost 10 years and I have saved many useful links and sessions there. Now i lost everything because someone decided to just shut it down all of a sudden!!! Totally unacceptable! Get it back asap and I hope that all my saved data will be there!!!!
Bernt Bergum 2025-07-12: Love it, please update it Teddy!
Tia Septiani 2025-07-11: Daily used and very helpfully.
Bogdan Sorlea 2025-07-02: make it work again pls, I think you just need to publish info about data collection
Over Born 2025-05-29: it was a good extension, update it please
ahsanul Boi 2025-04-19: its my daily use, my fav extension, pls come back soon
Rene Rey Gutierrez 2025-04-18: excellent!!!
Reuven Mansharoff 2025-03-24: great does it. Pity Chrome blocks it recently. Please adhere to Google's so it will be available again
Emanuel Jhutti 2025-03-06: This was an amazing extension. I've used it continually during the past years. I hope they fix it.
Eran ערן Apelbaum 2025-02-19: Thank you, dear friend, for years of use This little extension saved me numerous times, and thanks for keeping it free. Sorry to see you go.
Adam 2024-10-15: Settings have no way to locate the saved sessions. But otherwise it works as needed. Wish I knew where the sessions are saved at. Like if you reinstall them etc.
Bartosz Rabiej 2024-07-05: Does not save tabs between machines.
Rafael Cieslik 2024-06-28: Functional and pragmatic. I really like the feature where I can save a single tab in an existing but non-active session. Having said that, the extension is admittedly not up-to-date and doesn't support all relevant (and maybe new) Chrome features (i.e. pinned tabs, tab groups). Nevertheless, it helps me organize my browsing sessions and enables me to switch effortlessly between work and home/private "profiles". Also, Chrome itself has this bug where it doesn't always restore all tabs from last night. Session manager helps me counteract that as well. Could be a bit prettier, though. #niceToHave UPDATE: I've just noticed that this extension doesn't support tabs that display local files like `file://homer/user/myfile.jpg`. They are listed in the tooltip but not loaded on-open. Rating down to 3/5.

Alberto Castro 2024-06-19: Only saves the current window's tabs.... what about the other windows.... you have to go to each browser session window and save the tabs into different files. No auto-save feature. This thing is useless..... uninstalling immediately.
Jouke Nienhuis 2024-05-07: All my saved sessions were lost at the latest update
Marc Greenhill-Jeffery 2024-04-30: Nice and easy way to hold onto open tabs between reboots. More reliable than setting Chrome to 'resume from where you left off'.
C W 2024-03-06: Please don't let this extension die when Manifest v3 becomes mandatory, it's fantastic and far superior to anything like it.
sinnedyesmar 2024-03-05: This session saving program ONLY SAVES the first open window, and DOES NOT SAVE a second window of tabs!! So what use is it then?? The old session manager in firefox used to save EVERYTHING, just like any user would want. Have to wonder what they were thinking. I'm currently looking for ANY alternative that is actually USER FRIENDLY, and therefore useful.
Sergei Grebenyuk 2024-01-19: It is not reliable. I just discovered that my stored session list is empty when I needed to bring up some of the previous sessions.
Phaelax 2024-01-15: It's nice, when it works. Unfortunately its proven to be unreliable over the years. I've had all the stored sessions lost after upgrading the extension before and more recently everything simply vanished one day for no reason.
Dale Bridger 2023-11-19: Love this and have used it for years. I just wish it would sync between computers on my google account.
Vio Apriana Nur Ansyah 2023-09-23: Simple UI Work like charm All good love it

Carlos Shirasawa 2023-06-20: I've been using this extension since ever and it's just amazing. I sometimes forget that it's not a standard Chrome feature.

Leopard Tail 2023-06-07: A mixed bag. Positives: In the current window, all its tabs are saved. Tab are saved along with the history, so the back button works. They restore in groups with the correct names and colours. Negatives: There is no autosave You can only save one window at once.

john doe 2023-05-17: It's great.... when it worked. It's unreliable as I just lost all my saved sessions. This happened once before years ago after an update that was apparently incompatible with an older saved format. Those I was able to recover through a long manual process. But this time I can't find the data saved anywhere on my pc. It's simply gone!

Jose Castro 2023-03-23: La uso bastante, desde hace unos años. Muy útil. Desearía tener la posibilidad de poder colocar un set de pestañas en cualquier posición en la lista, por ejemplo colocar un determinado set que está último, en primer lugar. Sería fantástico !

Georg Bretschneider 2022-05-09: Today, 9th May 2022, this extension started hijacking my address/search bar additionally to redirecting searches on google.com to another site. Beware. Don't use. Will contact Google and inform them of observed behaviro.

平井伸治 2022-04-05: This extension is easy to use if you just want to save the current tab as a session. It has the ability to not save pinned tabs. This is a feature not found in other extensions. It also has the ability to save the currently displayed tab to an existing session. It does not have the ability to delete unwanted pages from a saved session. The list of saved URLs is only displayed in a pop-up window. The memory used is low.

n ascentt 2021-12-20: Doesn't work for me., if i export session the sessions.txt file is empty, the extension is also pretty limited in functionality. No crashed session recovery, have to manually save session, can't save selected windows to session. Prefer Session Buddy, as all these features, plus a nicer interface and better ways to manipulate (add/remove) windows or tabs from saved sessions before opening them.
