Sessions for Google Chrome™ Extension

Sessions for Google Chrome™ allows you to save all tabs in your current window into a single session for recalling later. If you've got a bunch of tabs open, all related to a single focus, you can shelve the session and close the tabs or entire window, and single-click to restore it. Sessions are shared across any machine signed into the same Google account.

Tabs will open in current window by default or optionally in a new window.

Xalomon (ID: 000000fce49f3da0) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/25/2022 Useless, please compare: Have a window with some 70 tabs open. Close it. Use Recently Closed to restore your tabs. No problem. Use Sessions for Google Chrome™": Save the tabs to a session and close the window. Try to restore it. All tabs will be loaded at once on the browser, making it hang and crash the system as the memory is filled unnecessarily by all the tabs instead of loading them Unloaded (or Discarded). How is the native behavior better than the extension's behavior?

Amit Chauhan (ID: 0000002525dfc7c4) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 06/15/2021 This is poor extension, it just opens all tabs without asking, in new window or current one. Infact Chrome has all poor extensions. Try using "mysessions" with firefox, you will love it.
