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.

the main and very significant disadvantage is that the tab is restored in the wrong place where it was closed. it appears in the extreme right position as if it has been rediscovered. other browser extensions restore a closed tab exactly in the sequence where it was opened. please correct it. since it is in this application that I like the fact that the arrow button is black
