This is so useful I would have paid for it. Chrome's own recently closed list is too small and it somehow forgot about 2 important saved tab groups. This extension allowed me to easily find the contents of and recreate the tab groups.

That's what i need thanks !

This extension is a lifesaver. The browser's own recently closed list only keeps 8 entries, but I was able to use this extension to restore windows that had been pushed off that list.
