User reviews

Users appreciate the extension's simple one-click tab recovery that can restore many closed tabs at once without requiring extra clicks or showing a list. It is reliable and convenient, including shortcut support. However, many users express concerns about a sudden increase in permission requirements, especially over privacy. The extension also lacks a tab history list to selectively restore tabs and always reopens tabs at the rightmost end instead of their original places. Minor issues include garbled tooltips and limited UI customization options.

Pros

Simple and easy to use with a single function to restore closed tabs in one click
Can restore multiple closed tabs at once automatically without showing a list
Recovers all accidentally closed tabs reliably, even many at once
Does not show a complicated list or search bar, making restoration quick
Supports shortcut keys for convenience

Cons

Sudden permission change to access and modify data on visited websites causing privacy concerns
No tab history list to select specific closed tabs to restore individually
Restored tabs always open at the rightmost position instead of their original position
Tooltip texts shown on hovering over the button are garbled or have encoding issues
UI customization options like icon or color change are lacking

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Recover closed tab requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
