Attention to passerbys!

The two answers here are both outdated as of July 2021.

The Current Session|Tabs files are no longer used. But you will find in the Default/Sessions/ folder lies the last two sessions and tabs files.

Use ccl-ssns (before on Google Code) with the 'Last Tab' and 'Last Session' files in

  • Windows 7, 8.1, and 10: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
  • Mac OS X: Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default
  • Linux: /home/$USER/.config/google-chrome/Default

The Tabs listed in the output HTML with index '0' are the last tabs open.

  • Have they moved these files into the Sessions folder by chance?

The files that restored my session from the backup files where:

.config/google-chrome/Default/Current\ Session

And

.config/google-chrome/Default/Current\ Tabs

Just copy the files to /home/username/.config/google-chrome/Default
