HELP! Google Chrome went unresponsive when I went to a wrong page, and when I restarted, it DID NOT RESTORE ALL MY TABS! How do I find the tabs to restore?

Unfortunately, the browsing history page only records the pages I have opened, not the pages I have closed, and the Closed Tabs list only records the pages I closed deliberately, not by freezing crashes. (At least not this freezing crash.)

I hate to sift through days worth of history to find which sites I left open because I opened them at different times.

Moreover, what Chrome add-on can I download that will save ALL tabs I have currently open, that works similar to the FireFox add-on.

(No, I don’t wish to go back to Firefox. It has caused more problems than Chrome does.)

open google chrome, open a new tab and it should say “recently closed:” directly under your top 8 visited sites.

failing that, try and think when you first opened them and get looking in the history.

sucks i know, but its the only way that i can think of

What @poisonedantidote said, or just press CTRL + SHIFT + T a bunch of times (each keypress will open the last closed tab).

I only briefly tested chrome. It nowhere near compares to the functionality of Opera: www.opera.com – less memory use or not. The question is, what’s more functional.

To this point – opera will always save your tabs/sessions. Even if the computer shuts down, or the earth stops moving. Because, your work is important. And it treats it as such :)

Yes, I’m a fan, so take it with a grain of salt, or thoroughly test it yourself.
