Tabulous Extension

If you run tons of tabs on Chrome and leave your computer on for days on end without restart because you don’t want to lose them or interrupt your flow, then Tabulous™ is your new best friend.

With just a click or two, the super easy to use Tabulous™ extension allows Chrome users to quickly save all their tabs into either a new folder on their bookmarks bar or add them to an existing folder you may already be using in your bookmarks bar. It’s that simple. You click, then click again and all your tabs are safe as long as you keep them in that bookmarks folder.

And as if that wasn’t enough, Tabulous lets you instantly recreate where you left off with a relaunch button. Just select relaunch then select the folder you saved your tabs to and Tabulous™ launches those saved tabs at the same time, bringing you back to where you were when you saved. It's as if you never left that giant mess of creativity and learning behind.

So go ahead, shut down your Chrome browser before it crashes because it’s been going non-stop for two weeks. And feel free to restart your computer. Tabulous™ has you covered.

Mark Lanyon (ID: 00000000f24580ae) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/01/2014 This app is a real lifesaver. I have an older PC and my Chrome browser freezes up often due to my flash player or other software going crazy. The one button restoration is very cool for a multi-tab addicted Chrome user like me.
