To restore tabs on Google Chrome, you can use several simple methods:

  • Reopen the last closed tab or tabs :
    Press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + T (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + T (Mac). This will reopen the last closed tab, and pressing it repeatedly will reopen previously closed tabs in the order they were closed
  • Use the Chrome menu to restore tabs or windows :
    1. Click the three vertical dots in the upper-right corner of Chrome.
    2. Hover over History.
    3. Under "Recently Closed," you will see individual tabs or windows (with multiple tabs) listed.
    4. Click on a tab to reopen it or click Restore window to reopen all tabs from a closed window
  • Restore tabs after a crash or restart :
    When Chrome crashes, it usually prompts you to restore the last session upon reopening. Confirm to restore all tabs from the previous session. If not prompted, you can manually restore the session from the History menu as above
  • Set Chrome to reopen tabs automatically on startup :
    To avoid losing tabs in the future, configure Chrome to restore your previous session every time you open the browser:

    1. Click the three dots > Settings > On startup.
    2. Select Continue where you left off.
      This setting will automatically reopen all tabs from your last session each time you start Chrome
  • Additional tip-Bookmark all tabs for safety :
    You can bookmark all open tabs to save them permanently:

    1. Click the three dots > Bookmarks > Bookmark all tabs.
    2. Save them in a folder for easy access later

These methods cover restoring individual tabs, entire windows, or sessions, and setting up Chrome to prevent future tab loss
