User reviews

The most functional extension I have by far. The simple addition of a search bar to search through your unclosed tabs in genius and good UI. Unfortunately, looks as though it may no longer be developed. Would happily pay a one-off fee for this extension. Would be money well spent

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!
