Working well on Chrome 129. This function should be built into the browser, especially considering it uses Chrome's API. It restores closed tabs from a configurable list, it restores the tabs to their original position, and it preserves each tabs url history. Bravo! Muy Bueno!

Please don't let this extension die when Manifest v3 becomes mandatory, it's fantastic and far superior to anything like it.
