Can I save a session in Chrome?

Question

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.

(Not sure if this question belongs here or in superuser...)

Answer 1

A few options:

1. Built-in functionality. Go to Options (Basics tab) and choose "reopen the pages that were open last".

2. There are tons of extensions that allow you to do that

3. I love the Panic Button addon. It's a bit different, but allows me to save my session when i want to.

EDIT: fixed link to Panic Button.

(If I could contact a user directly, I'd poke them and let them know they should enter it as an answer so they could get credit for it. Since I can't, I'm copying the Session Buddy link provided in a comment above so others can see the answer even if they don't bother to read comments.)

Answer 3

You have an even better solution. Not exactly what you wished for but i thought you should know, There's a simple Lightweight extension called "Save & Email MyTabs" Which lets you just enter an email and you get an URL that opens back all your tabs. Great because u can save alot of tab "sessions" or email a friend with usefull information, links he asked, etc.

TabCloud saves your tabs "onto the cloud" so you won't lose them even if your laptop is broken.

Answer 5

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.
