The steps I used to get my tabs back (IIRC): I had same issue – the two files mentioned in the old thread were not present, however there was a new folder in C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Local Storage named “leveldb”
When I did it, I'll be darned if two years' worth of URLs didn't show up again under " Export URLs"! I archived them into a text file, just to be on the safe side, but then I chose " Import URLs" and pasted everything there.and OneTab is alive and well again! (Which is not to say that I think this was a good way to have to solve the problem.)īTW, I'm now planning to regularly archive my OneTab links ("File->Save Page As." in my browser). You'll see lines returned like: /Users//Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions//1.18_1/onetab.cssįrom that line, select and copy what you get for, paste it into your Chrome address bar thusly (without the square braces, just to be clear):Ĭhrome-extension:///import-export.html To do that, fire up Terminal, and type: ls ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/*/Extensions/*/*/onetab* If some kind soul knows more than I do about this, and if the string is the same for everyone, then they could save everyone some work.īut until you know otherwise, you'll need to find. It may just be a registry number or something, hence the same for everyone using Chrome (at least) on a Mac. Note: the whole point here is to figure out what is. On my Mac, I found OneTab here: /Users//Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions//1.18_1 This may take a while if you had a lot of them open, especially on slower or weaker computers.I had the same problem, and here's what I stumbled upon that worked for me, on a Mac, using Chrome. It will have an indicator of how many tabs have been closed recently – clicking on that line will reopen those tabs in your current window. Reopening pages via the top menu barīoth the shortcut and clicking the relevant option will reopen the last closed window – be aware though, that this may not work depending on the way the last session ended, and how long ago it ended.Īlso in the History section of the top-right menu, you can find an option labelled Recently Closed Tabs. If you want to achieve the same result, you can also right-click on empty space next to a tab at the top in your window (not directly on a tab), and select the option Reopen Closed Window. The history page, featuring your browser historyĪnother option to get back lost Chrome tabs is to use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Shift-T. You can even access tabs from other devices, assuming you were logged in with the same account there. Clicking on one of them will open that page in a new tab. Here, you can see the sites you’ve visited. Click on the three dots in the top right corner of your window and go to your History. Assuming you weren’t browsing in incognito mode, that’s where you can find the pages you’ve recently visited. In order to find individual tabs that were closed, you can go to your History page. There are several ways to restore tabs and sessions after they were closed or have ended.
