This is the best extension which remembers the tab history...But dear developer please consider displaying more than 100 tabs...For example if you see this extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/recent-history/plnccbbnakgimmdicoihpmdfekcjbbcj) it displays almost more than 4 days tab history immediately on the first install... If you can include that it would be great,,why limiting the tabs?
