| 2024-05-14 |  | | en | 11 Sept 24 - Freshstart suddenly stopped working. I've reinstalled both the extension and Chrome and still cannot get it to work. Still giving 4 stars b/c it's been a great extension, and this is probably a Chrome issue. Fwiw, the app would be better if (1) it were easier to save session histories as a file for backup, and (2) it were easier to manage old sessions. (I have a few hundred sessions that I don't delete b/c deleting 1 at a time takes too long.) |

| 2024-05-14 |  | | en | Update May 27, 2024: Works perfectly again in both of my OSs. Excellent extension! ----------------------------- Update May 16, 2024: It worked in Windows, but not completely in Linux Mint. Middle clicking on the session opens all the tabs, but doesn't launch them in a different window. I can work with this though. ------------------------------ Update May 15, 2024: It works again! Kudos to developer for addressing the problem so fast. --------------------------- It worked very well, but the May 14, 2024 update appears to have broken it. It only opens 1 tab now. |
| 2024-05-19 |  | | en | Doesn't work anymore as before starting May ?, 2024 I think, my session's gone on every snapshot tabs when i checked this past few days, was this extension updated?, my browser is chrome(v124.0.6367.208 and now v125.0.6422.61 chrome windows), only 1 tab in other group/incognito/or not is being saved, and every snapshot has same saved tabs, before it was just the current snapshot which is the "snapshot #1" I think that was saving your history of open tabs for a day and the rest snapshots were retaining the past days history of group/tabs. FYI devs: I uninstalled/ reinstalled this extension(now in 1.7.1version), just also updated(no choice when you go to the about of chrome as it updates itself) the chrome and been 5mins(as the default crash save) past and when chrome relaunched, going to "crash recovery" button shows no saved tabs! in every snapshot to restore session/tabs, why, is it because of chrome's Manifest V3 that the crash restore function is affected?, can it be fixed because "Crash Recovery" might become somehow useless and only saving session/tabs will be available and others(not sure though) like import/export?? |
| 2024-05-14 |  | | en | Having the same problem as others - only opens the 1st tab of a session since the update. This is using Vivaldi Browser - is there a way to go back to version 1.6 (That worked) Edit: Seems to be working for me now. |
| 2024-05-16 |  | | en | A really hand extension love it |
| 2024-05-15 |  | | en | v1.7 Quick workaround for latest version. RIGHT click on your session group to open up all the windows. |
