You know how it is, you are working with the Google Chrome web browser and suddenly Google Chrome freezes or you have to close Google Chrome. Then how do you recover the last opened and last active tabs in Google Chrome?
Google Chrome can reopen the last opened tabs for you after closing Google Chrome. Google Chrome can remember your last opened tabs so you don't have to do that again.
Every time you reopen the Chrome web browser after closing Google Chrome, the closed tabs will be restored and you can continue with what you were doing.
Reopen Google Chrome tabs at startup
Open the Google Chrome browser. In the top right corner, click on the 3 dots to open the Chrome menu. In the menu click on Settings.
In the left menu, click On Startup. Then enable the option: Continue where you left off.
Every time Google Chrome is closed, the last opened tabs in Google Chrome will be automatically restored.
If you prefer to open a new tab, select Open the 'New Tab' page. In the following article you can read how customize the new tab in Google Chrome.
I hope this helped you. Thank you for reading!
Hello, I just switched from a Windows laptop to a Macbook (the newer Macbook air) and can get everything working again except that when I close Chrome, I lose all open tabs after restarting. I have of course set the settings as you described. Do you have any idea what could go wrong?
Thank you in advance for your response. HG Aad
Hello, you can try to disable the option. Then restart the browser. After the restart, turn the option back on. Please note that these are tabs in the same window, not new windows.
Another thing you can check is if you have any extension(s) installed that prevents tab reloads. You must check this yourself.
Finally, you can try resetting Google Chrome: https://www.pc-tips.info/tips/google-chrome/google-chrome-resetten/
I tested it myself on a Mac M1. It works here. Good luck!
Thanks, I didn't know this!
Yet it turns out that my Chrome already has those settings (because indeed: the tabs always appear neatly again), but to my great misery this time not.
How is that possible?
Hello, that is beyond my ability to judge. Could it be that they weren't tabs, but new windows? Nothing more to do, we have to make do with what Chrome offers us 🙂
