Saving and Restoring your session's Tabs in Chrome

I'm the kind of person that tends to keep huge numbers of tabs open either for future reading or just 'cause I know I'll be using them later on. With Firefox, this is a mess, 'cause if one of the tabs stop responding you'll have to kill the entire session and relaunch the entire browser. With Chrome and IE though, the system treats each tab as a separate instance of the application. Hence, when one of the tabs become unstable, you can just kill that specific instance and keep the rest alive.

Problem is if it is the PC itself that becomes unresponsive. Well Chrome has something that can deal with this (sort off...).


Tab Saver is Chrome add on I recently added to my Chrome portable. Available for download here. It saves your tab list on your disk so you can open it later. The add on, by the way, detects the open tabs per window. So if you have tab groups open on multiple Chrome windows, you can save them separately then open them later on for viewing.
