SimpleUndoClose Extension

A fork of the Sexy Undo Close Tab extension, with a simpler and minimal look.

SimpleUndoClose does not restore tabs with their tab history. If restored tabs with tab history is a must, check out SimpleUndoRecents:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/simpleundorecents/kaiblbjjcealhldhdnjhpjmckgclnbca

Basic usage:
- click the toolbar button, a popup showing closed tabs appear
- click on the closed page you want to restore
- keyboard navigation supported
- to delete a single entry, click the delete button at the lower right corner of the focused blue

Changes and new features from fork:
- new option to set the page title instead of URL as the tooltip
- some UI rework done to the popup and options page
- code reworkings, mainly to facilitate the upgrade to manifest version 2
- keyboard navigation
- no ads

Updated changelog is in the extension option pages.

Retains the features of the Sexy Undo Close Tab extension.
Credits to J K of the Sexy Undo Close Tab extension.

Reason For Permission Requests:

Your tabs and browsing activity
-> WHY: Required for use of the chrome.tabs API to detect tab status and to get the tab details

--------

Note:
Though the extension is v1.0 as there may still be bugs I've missed.
Please do feedback when something is not working, better if there are steps to replicate the problem.
Thanks :)

Dave Payne (ID: 000000fb977e8ae5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/01/2023 Does exactly what it says. Allows you to open tabs you accidentally closed, simply, without any unnecessary bells and whistles. Been a staple of my browser extensions for a long time.

Y Sun (ID: 0000001801438a41) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/16/2023 作者的两个扩展:SimpleUndoClose和SimpleUndoRecents. SimpleUndoClose:记录数可以设置无限大99999。有两个缺点:1、有一些未加载完全的网页会丢失,2、恢复的页面无法前进后退。 SimpleUndoRecents:记录数只有25个(最大设置100但没用还是25),其他基本一致。但优点是恢复的页面可以前进后退。

Zoe McBride (ID: 000000757a381f86) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/02/2023 I had this stop working after a Brave update, I pretty much sat there being sad about it for a while because I really like this extension, I know there are others but this is the one I like. Ended up doing the most basic trouble shoot I could possibly do - I uninstalled and reinstalled. Problem completely solved and I'm happy I don't have to find an alternative

Fred zhang (ID: 0000004720c479b0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/29/2023 非常棒,多个同类撤回按钮,都只能打开上一次关闭,而这个能查看关闭列表。而且做到了简洁漂亮。推荐。
