John Weiss (ID: 000000627bc3b61f) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/11/2023 It stopped working completely. I get the green "1" when i save, but tabs don't get restored. Here's my review when it was still working for me: So far, AMAZING. Great job for making it so TINY. I love that you don't restore tabs that are already open. Even works with incognito windows, so i use this to save sessions in incognito. Please add ability to restore tabs even AFTER they were already restored. That would have saved me when my computer crashed. Just have two buttons: "Save", "Restore". "Save" would always overwrite the previously saved tabs (like it does now). "Restore" could be used as many times as you want (instead of just once).
