FreshStart - Cross Browser Session Manager

How does something like this work so well for so long?!

This is what I want.

Has been my go-to for years. It started to crash about a year ago (2022) on my M1 Mac but it has since recovered (must have been a Chrome thing because dev hasn't updated the extension since 2015); back to high performance. UI is sufficient and better than a lot of other tab managers, also intuitive enough for my purposes; easy to update/save/delete sets. I also like that it stores its bookmarks in the Bookmark Manager so it's easy to access and maintain outside of the extension's UI. Recomme... Show more

The plugin works well but there's one big con..that it works on bookmarks. If you collect your pages in ordered bookmarks, if you save a session with that pages inside, the extension changes the bookmark folder to "window...." and so you lose your bookmarks, this is bad and I think I won't use it anymore

I would like to suggest the ability to sort saved sessions with an up/down option. Thank you

It appears others are correct. Crash Recovery is no longer auto-saving tabs and FreshStart only appears to work if you are manually saving tabs. It was a great extension but development has died. Sorry for those who never knew the usefulness of this extension.

Why FreshStart is saving my bookmarks on Google Maps favorite lists?

As of Sep-2022 this app has ceased working and seemingly abandoned in the app store. Seems no updates are coming.. Pity this was a thorough and valid way to manage different browsing sessions and bookmark curation. It hasn't worked in Chrome and as others have mentioned, all the previous saved sessions and tabs are inaccessible within the app. Consider yourself lucky that Chrome > Bookmarks > FreshStart Sessions has a list of all the tabs that were saved in this app.

i had 200 tabs open, i closed it with another window open. problem was i lost all 200 tabs. and this thing couldn't restore it. luckily it had a list so i could click on each thing, but it loaded a black screen then crashed the browser.

I've been using this session manager for many years and it's been great! However, I'd love for it to be updated to support restoring 'tab groups' which is a relatively new feature in Chrome. It restores all my tabs fine, but the tab groupings are not maintained.
