Okay, I had promised you that I will let you all know about a feature thatI noticed on the Development version that I am running on my laptop. Here it is … Â hopefully with next update, you will be able to reopen tabs from your last browsing session when you open Google Chrome window.
Update : We have discovered and organized the best Google Chrome Tips Here. Read this and Be a Power User – Impress your friends !
This is not a prediction or rumor, but something  that I am using right now on this dev version of Google Chrome. If  I close my Chrome window, with few tabs open, and then open Chrome again, I get something like this, shown on the screenshot below.
I can click and open all those tabs from my last browsing session, and that is really helpful. Especially because of another feature missing on Google Chrome : It won’t warn you when you close multiple tabs. So, you accidentally close 10 tabs because you got no warning, re open the window, and you get this cool feature to open all those tabs again.
This is to open all the tabs together. If you like to open only the last tab you closed, use CTRL + SHIFT + TÂ keyboard short cut.

How do I get rid of chrome…It is the stupidiest thing I have ever down loaded, and I wish I had never done it

i was soooo frustrated with Chrome for closing my tabs without warning. but this video has helped. now i know how to restore past browsing sessions. However, overall, it is still way too disruptive to restore rather than simply deal with a “Close Multiple Tabs?” confirmation dialog box. For instance, what if you were in the middle of a financial transaction (purchasing with credit card or transferring bank funds)? Or in a chat room? etc…. Even though you’ve restored your sessions, you are now unsure of what state the transactions are in that you were working on.
Yes, I also think the same way .. this also happens when you are watching a movie online, streaming video .. you loose everything that you were doing ..
how stupid this guy is saying in the video that our designers dont want to disturb the users by giving warnings … true! …. a lot of users dont like to get that warning but at the same time so many users would prefer to get this warning …. I can not possibly imagine how hard could it be for chrome designers to add a feature, where users can select in “Options” menu if they want this warning or not
I have a different problem. Even if I have closed all tabs, when I restart Chrome, it opens the tabs from several days ago.
Never mind, I fixed it.
Yes, now can you actually get a warning in Chrome browser before closing multiple tabs. Hit on below link for more details.

@ Ali
thanks for sharing .. I was wondering if there is any native extension, other than greasemonkey
Thank you for the Control+Shift+T solution! I had closed a huge multi-tab Chrome window, but one single separate (individual) window was still open, so when reopening Chrome I lost all my tabs. This easy shortcut (pressed a couple of times) brought them all back!!!
you are welcome !
So you clicked on the TOOLS menu, then what did you select, you didnt say.
Btw, I have a Mac (Snow Leopard) and im using Chrome 5.0.375.70 beta.
So I see the TOOL, but I can’t find the rest of what you did/showed.
Thanks
When you do these tips, please do text version also. Those of us with internet service in rural areas have latency issues and I would click out of this if I didn’t need the information (because it’s a video).
I would say Chrome sucks! It doesn’t restore crashed session!
well, in my experience, it does..
i’m kinda frustrated at chrome!
What i usually have and am afraid of is that when i open two separate chrome window browsers (not tabs) and accidentally first close the one with a lot of tabs in it and then close the other one with only one tab – I can only restore the last browser tab opened! AND THAT MAKES ME ANGRY! just because i can’t see those closed tabs in history! they disappear and I can’t find where!!
any help?
I had to restart my computer, and restart Chrome. At first it asked if I wanted to restore my last session. But Chrome crashed. I started it again. And I don’t see the option now. And I can’t find the Tools menu. I’m running version 17.0.963.46 on a Macbook Pro. I’d really like my tabs back today…. what do I do?
For today, I fear it’ll be too late… But you can take a look at your history (Ctl+H) and scroll back to the date you opened your tabs.
This said, the guys @ Chrome seem to have disabled the aforementioned function (or, at least the ACCESS to this function) since dev-branch 17. Maybe a tweak/hack/extension out there?
That video is totally out of date. Due to bad designing, I was only lucky to find the newest way (GC v17) carefully hidden by the programmers. Open a new tab and you will see the RECENT CLOSED link, small, grey-on-grey, at the right of the lower bar of the window. Such a useful feature so badly taken care of. The newer generations of programmers and designer are so narrow-minded!
I haven’t got such a link as you suggest, Sorin. Only “most visited” and “Apps”. And I’m on french Chromium v. 19 (19.0.1042.0 (Build de développement 121875 Windows). What do you have exactly next to your “grey on grey” link?
