SimpleUndoClose

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

SimpleUndoClose - Quick and Simple Way to Restore Closed Tabs

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.

doesn't work anymore because of greedy google :(

前まで役に立ってましたが、先ほど間違えて閉じてしまった時に何のポップアップも出なくなっており、数十のタブが全部閉じられてしまいました。ここからアクセスできるタブの履歴も以前までは残っていたのですが（うっかりポップアップ無視して消してしまっても履歴から1つずつ開くことが可能だった）、何故か今は10個までしか遡れず、それ以上閉じてしまった分はChromeの普通の履歴の方にすら出てきません。少なくとも新しく入れるべき拡張機能ではないと思います。別のにします…
