User reviews

Users overwhelmingly praise the extension for its simplicity and efficiency in restoring closed tabs with one click, even after browser or system restarts. It is valued for being lightweight and integrating well with the browser's context menu. Some users report occasional issues like opening the homepage instead of recent tabs or lack of support for reopening Incognito tabs, but overall it is considered an essential and reliable tool, especially since Chrome removed built-in reopening functionality.

Pros

Simple and quick one-click reopening of closed tabs without having to use lists.
Restores recently closed tabs even after restarting the computer or Chrome.
Lightweight and does not take up much space or interfere with browser performance.
More features than expected, including integration with context menu.
Works reliably and saves time compared to native Chrome functionality.

Cons

Does not reopen tabs closed in Incognito mode; reopens only normal tabs in Incognito context.
Occasionally opens the homepage instead of the last closed tabs, causing some users to rate low.
One user mentioned the extension stopped working on a certain day.
Some users may desire more complex tab management features beyond simple reopening.

Had it installed since Chrome originally removed their functionality, but it's not been working today... :(

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.

Reopen closed tab Button™ does not require any sensitive permissions.

Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
