Manage your recently closed tabs.
The best "recently closed tabs" exension you have ever used ... not only cause it's made by us :-)
This small extension provides you with a simple way to reopen some web pages you closed before. Furthermore you are able to configure options and hence influence the way recently closed tabs show in the popup, or even filter out pages you don't want to reopen (annoying popups etc.).
We implemented the persistency via the HTML5 localStorage and are thinking about providing a global repository somewhere so that changing a browser or computer does not prevent you from having your "recently closed tabs" ... not sure how useful this would be *lol*
Some additional ideas we have include usage of chrome's session API in order to provide not only the recently closed tab, but also it's history. At this time, the session package is experimental and extensions using it can not be loaded here on the gallery. But we will keep an eye on it and update the extension as soon as it is possible.
In any case, give us your feedback and check our developer site to see what is going on.
Extension developed by Michael Westrich and Draško Kokić.
The latest updates:
- cool new input range in options and improved user interface
- basic info news page on every version change, should be optimised to get triggered on major and minor version change (ignore the 3rd and 4th part)
- localStorage use and optimised snapshot images (resized via canvas)
- introduced maxTabs parameter to control the length of the popup list

- I never rate an app 5 stars, simply because that would imply absolute perfection.
- Dan Nissenbaum
- Of the ones I've used, I've landed on this because I've had no problems with it and it's visually clear.

- Copy URL Link ist malfunction! :(

- Marche nickel, merci pour cet outil bien pratique
- Masum Hasan
- Very slow. Takes 4 seconds for the list of recently closed tabs to pop up.
- Alexandre Gille
- Doesn't save anything when quitting and reopening Chrome. Poor app with no real feature.
- Frank Ellermann
- Vintage 2010 open source is nice, and while chrome://history is my standard search engine and (sometimes) start page it is not the same thing as this extension.
- John Wong
- Works 1 out 10 times. Chrome history does a better job of tracking what was closed. If windows restarts for update there is a good chance this extension will not remember the tabs closed.

- только 15 последних сохраняет.
- Mike Turco
- Does exactly what it says it does. Great tool.
- Peter Bonifacio
- Doesn't work on my chrome.
- Braden Dodge
- EDIT: Ah, I see, it only shows 15 items on the drop down, but if you click on see more and open the options page (chrome-extension://opefiliglgllmponlmoajkfbcaigocfc/options.html) it lists all recently closed pages. I would like to have the option of having a scrollable dropdown menu of ALL my recently closed tabs and windows, but this will suffice. Well, actually "Recent History" seems to do it better and has a limit of 30 items on the dropdown. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/recent-history/fbmkfdfomhhlonpbnpiibloacemdhjjm

- Doesn't work for me.

- This extension is no longer necessary. Chrome Menu > History > Recently Closed
- Erich Alderfer
- It's alright, but not as good as SimpleUndoRecents. The interface isn't as elegant, and it can't restore tabs closed before the extension is enabled. Other than that, works as advertised.
- Tony Franks
- Never LOOSE a tab again? Surely: Never LOSE a tab again!
- Lukáš Jeřábek
- It can reopen, but reopened tabs are without history.
- Julian Cuevas
- The extension is great and works amazingly well, I only have 2 small comments: 1) Font is quite small and it's easily readable 2) Perhaps adding a delete all to the popup would make it the best
- anon ymous
- It works, thanks. But I'd much rather something that added to the right click on tab context menu. Also no undo close all, nor any idea how many tabs are remembered - minus a star.
- Antonín Neumann
- Nejlepší rozšíření, již několikrát zachránilo situaci a párkrát doslova celodenní práci!
- Toby Peterson
- I closed 20 tabs, restarted my computer, and neither chrome nor this extension remembered any of them.

- Doesn't work. Hasn't recovered one closed tab so far. Try again.

- 在Chrome42之前还很好用。但是在46版本之后就不灵光了。很遗憾。
- wlb auy
- it lacks only beautiful icon!
- Dave M
- I love your extension! I QA test a... LOT... and I accidently close tabs all the freaking time! I am so happy to have found this. Chrome used to have a great one but they removed it, now they made it 3 clicks to get to, now I just have 2 right away. :D
