Most people probably knew Chrome as a web browser that allows you to search and attain information as quickly as a snap of a finger. It even has a voice option that will surely make your searching experience easier. All you have to do is click the mic option, speak of the topic you are seeking, and everything related to it will appear on your screen.

On top of that, you can even search various topics in one window simultaneously. You just have to create a series of tabs in order to do that.

There are a lot of ways to restore the closed tabs in chrome. However, I am going to tell you the 2 easiest ways to reopen them.

Extensions For the Reopening of Close Tabs

If you want to save your time, I would suggest installing the extension in your chrome. It will automatically save Google Chrome windows, so you can reopen the tabs anytime.

Here I have selected a few extensions that work best:

  • Workona Tab Manager
  • Tab Restore
  • Undo Closed Tabs Button
  • Recently Closed Tabs

Workona Tab Manager

In my opinion, this extension has its own class of features. It will help you restore the tabs that are mistakenly closed by saving the said tab and its history. This will also save you a lot of time. You can reopen the tabs since it will show you the closed tabs in the suggestion, such as:

  • Having a backup system to secure your work. Through this extension, you don’t have to worry about the loss of your work.
  • Having access to different play store apps like zoom, Google Docs, etc.
  • Having suspended tabs is one of its impressive features since it decreases memory usage and keeps your device running faster so that you can complete your work faster.
  • Having a Sync tab is one of the best features of this extension wherein you can stick to your work no matter which device you’re using.

Recently Closed Tabs

As it shows from their motto: “Manage your recently closed tabs.”

Considering the small amount of MB’s extension needed, its function is commendable. This extension restores the closed tabs before you intentionally closed them. Moreover, this extension will also provide you with a popup if you want to reopen them or not.

Some of its features that I would like to share with you are the following:

  • They will provide you with the recent closed tabs popup so you can easily reopen them while retaining their history.
  • They have introduced the parameter to control the length of the popup list named as MaxTabs.

Other than that, the shortcuts or extensions will let you recover lost tabs easily. So, don’t worry and keep searching.
