How to Save Tab Sessions and Restore Later
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
With Tab Manager, open the Sessions view, type a name such as "Research" and click Save: it stores the current window's tabs, in order, including which were pinned. Click Restore to open them in a new window; the first tab loads and the rest stay asleep until you click them. Sessions stay on your computer. It saves web pages only, not Chrome's own pages or local files.
