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.

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.
