User Reviews

Users generally praise the add-on for being simple and useful for saving/restoring tab sets, but reliability problems are repeatedly reported. Several reviews note save/restore failures and UI glitches, plus a lack of confirmation that a save succeeded. There are concerns about data loss after shutdown and some multi-window behavior issues. Overall, the tool is valued for quick session management but needs better feedback, reliability, and multi-window handling.

Pros

Easy to use and straightforward interface.
Restores tabs properly; does what it's supposed to.
Saves all open tabs and supports reopening them later (session management).

Cons

Inconsistent reliability; save/restore sometimes fail or buttons don’t respond.
Lack of clear feedback or visual confirmation that tabs were saved.
Risk of losing saved tabs if the computer is turned off or restarted.
Multi-window handling issues (bugs/annoyances with saving across multiple windows).

Just wish it had an export feature so could save individual sessions (or all the sessions into one file) for local storage and backup.

Is Tab Save & Restore Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Tab Save & Restore requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
