Save and restore windows.

Simple Window Saver makes it super easy to save and restore windows. Keep one window for work tabs, one for Gmail and Facebook, and one for your vacation planning or the research on that new TV you want to buy.

As the title reveals, simplicity is the name of the game. Unlike other session managers, Simple Window Saver remembers when you've saved a window and keeps track of changes. It's not full of features you don't need – it does what you want and it does it well.

Go ahead, give it a try!

- - Data collection - -
Simple Window Saver uses Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage data, such as how many saved windows users have and how often a new window is saved. This helps me improve the extension.

I DO NOT track the urls or titles of the windows/tabs you save, or the names of the saved windows. If you have any concerns about this, you are welcome to inspect the source code (github link below, or use Chrome's web inspector).

This is a great extension until they update, then it wipes out all your saved tab groups. I had at least 30 and now they are gone which is very frustrating. I only wish they had a search of saved tab groups to make it ease to find them if you have a lot.

I will keep using this extension but only for temporary groups, it's to dangerous to loose all saved groups to trust it for more.

Сперва подумал что нашел то самое, но увы - нет.
Работаю с разными проектами, в одной сессии до 25-30 необходимый вкладок. И таск менеджер и тайм трекер и гитхаб и либы используемые открыты и дизайны/макеты и баг трекер и playMarket + iStore. В целом довольно много всего под 1 конкретный проект.

И все было превосходно, пока плагин не стал:
1) Менять имена сессий (сессия где были вкладки под проект - теперь открывается сессия про звукозапись)
2) Делать сессии пустыми (0 вкладок)

Так что приходится искать альтернативу, а жаль. Полгода пользовался - проблем не знал.
