No more being forced to all or nothing choice, like with the default Chrome crash restoration: to lose all of these “remind me of something” tabs, or to have again a completely unresponsive PC, if you load all of them back. This extension makes it possible to reopen only windows you need NOW, or even some individual tabs inside them, without losing others. Everything will be available to reopen anytime you decide and in the same context and place where they were crashed without consuming any resources, along with newly created tabs, as if you simply continue your session without any crash.

(ID: ) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/03/2024 I used to love this extension, but it stopped working some months ago. Double-clicking on a closed tab does nothing. Many other recent reviews also indicate that this extension has died.

Igor “IverCold” Verner (ID: 000000fc06f289f8) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/01/2024 UPD: Было 5 звёзд, но расширение перестало корректно работать, а разработчик перестал отвечать на какие-либо письма.

Tanuja Prasad (ID: 0000008be0e1b9e2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/18/2024 Nothing else like it. Could be improved as with anything, but functionally everything I need. Sep 18 2024 This has been down since July 2024. The reason, as I understand it is that this app has not been upgraded to Google's new MV3 requirement. Could someone from the company please respond if you intend to upgrade? If not, I will look for other solutions. (I am a paid subscriber).

Ignat Remizov (ID: 000000e067da15ea) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/06/2024 Really useful! I can organize my tabs based on how I use my tabs throughout the day, I get to have folders of reference material like blogs, of various wikis and discussion forums, of different social media, of news articles that I'll read later, of different work sessions (web development, or business management, or design) and all of it is in an easy to see and switch fashion. When you have 1000's of tabs open, it is hard to go to the one you need, but with tab outliner I can just click the link and open the relevant tab. It is like bookmarks, but way more efficient and productive. Would suggest everyone to install this. Only thing is after a crash, is after using ctrl+shift+t, the outliner creates a new window without a hierarchy. I think it would be cool for the extension to identify that the tabs were returned from a crashed session, or any other previous session.
