Is there a way to save sessions in Chrome? I'm a longtime Firefox user, and am used to being able to save a session containing multiple tabs so I can go back to it at any time. I'm trying to switch over to Chrome, but without this ability it's not going to happen.
I know that I can set the prefs to open the last-opened tabs at startup, but that's not really the same as true session management.
I'm perfectly happy to install an extension to do this if one exists.
A few options:
Built-in functionality. Go to Options (Basics tab) and choose "reopen the pages that were open last".
There are tons of extensions that allow you to do that
I love the Panic Button addon. It's a bit different, but allows me to save my session when I want to:
PanicButton makes it easier for you to hide all of your tabs at once just by clicking on a button. They are then saved as bookmarks in a separate folder. Afterwards, the PanicButton turns green and shows you how many tabs are currently hidden.
Session Buddy did the trick for me.
Manage Your Browser Sessions
- View and save the state of all open browser tabs in the current or past browser sessions.
- Quickly restore your tabs and resume your web surfing after a browser or system crash.
- Edit the sessions you've saved and restore them into the desired set of windows at any time.
- Create a session from a list of URLs and export sessions to text or CSV format.
- Consolidate sessions and eliminate duplicate tabs with ease.
I use this Chrome app and it is very useful: Simple bookmark.
You can save the current session or the URLs – whatever you like – and open the session you want with a single click.
I personally recommend Session Manager when people ask me this question.
You can save multiple sessions with labels, modify existing sessions, and create temporary sessions.
