What is SimpleUndoClose?

SimpleUndoClose is a Chrome extension that has been designed to restore closed tabs in a simplified manner. It’s a basic tool showing a popup list of all tabs that you've closed. Users can effortlessly click on any page they want to restore from the list. The extension, an evolved fork of the Sexy Undo Close Tab extension, also offers keyboard navigation and an option to set the page title instead of the URL as the tooltip. Note that this extension does not restore tabs with their tab history.
