Bruno Magalhães (ID: 0000005ec551ddf3) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 02/18/2023 There is no option to make a backup. I uninstalled it.

obadiah grotts (ID: 0000005293d6db33) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/01/2023 This extension just bookmarks the current page in each time and closes it. It does NOT "save tabs for later". A tab is not just the page you are on, but the back button history that led you to that page. This extension does not save your tabs' history. Also it does not allow you to pick and choose which tabs to save for later. Instead it just wiped out all 10 of the tabs I had open and their associated histories. Now I have to try and sort out how I got to each of these pages from the monolithic history in the browser at large which is also absolutely useless, and why came looking for this extension in the first place. What a waste of time.

Matt Smith (ID: 000000b2cb79a63d) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/29/2022 Nice extension. I use it to restore my tabs back to my incognito window after reboots and chrome restarts. The only downside I've found thus far is that it doesn't seem to support tab groups. So, all the groups will be removed. When you have 50+ tabs open, it's a mess. I see how I need to use this extension differently as the tab group itself. However, that doesn't really jive with my workflow as I constantly multitask between tab groups. In the case of the incognito window, all the grouped tabs in incognito are put in the main (non-incognito) window (while all the non-grouped tabs are put back in incognito window), and then I have to copy and paste them back into incognito (and group them). However, this is "worked around" by simply removing all the tab grouping first (in incognito only) and then using this extension to successfully restore ALL my tabs back to incognito. No biggie since I don't have many tab groups in incognito.

BROADCAST - LIVE STREAMING APPS (ID: 0000000468b4636c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/23/2022 I like this Tab Save/Restore plugin because its visually aesthetic. The simplicity of it works just great and the large size of the widget helps you retain key points, that you want to save in memory. I have only used this plugin 1x and I could sense it was gonna work. It's unique because its not just grouping a string of urls, its not just a compressed POST IT size history saver. It really makes an impression. and the colors are easy on the eye. Thankyou very much :)🎁

Benjamin Pontnack (ID: 000000ed44b3210d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/10/2022 This extension is great. Now I can save my tabs to shut down my computer instead of leaving it sleep to save my tabs. It is very simple to use.
