Summary

Analyze keywords

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

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)
You can use 1~9 hotkeys to quick open the most recent sessions.

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?
