en Sometimes after I use it, my TABS are a mess. I've got some windows with multiple tabs missing or extra windows that have been duplicated? Big thanks to Jostein Dyrseth's comment to put chrome://restart in the address bar. No more extension needed.

en Bad enough that it doesn't work (made a total mess of my tabs), but I think it is also a scam: after adding it to your browser, it asks - in addition - to download some more files to your Windows hard drive ... for heaven's sake ... just how much code do you need for a simple Restart button??? Seems suspicious to me .... Why is this so difficult to implement in Chrome-based browsers - Firefox has so many small buttons to chose from (no, that is not enough reason to return to Firefox :) ... as others have indicated, "chrome://restart" (or "vivaldi://restart", etc.) does work, but why not just have someone make a nice, simple button?

ru Работает, но корректный только МЕТОД1, но есть недостаток - он не переключает снова на активную вкладку.
