SimpleUndoClose

A simple popup to undo closed tabs, just that and a bit more.

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.

These summaries are automatically generated weekly using AI based on recent user reviews. Chrome Web Store does not verify user reviews, so some user reviews may be inaccurate, spammy, or outdated.

Pros

Does exactly what it says, allowing users to recover accidentally closed tabs simply.
Has a clean and straightforward interface.
Served users well for years.
Allows viewing of closed tab history rather than just reopening the last closed tab.

Cons

Recently stopped working for some users.
Restored tabs appear in the wrong order (at the far right rather than where they were closed).
Does not detect some pages that have not fully loaded when closed.
Limited ability to go back and forth between restored pages compared to similar extensions.
