How to restore Chrome tabs that were closed by accident
Your Google Chrome tabs are full of precious information, from your notes, and projects you are working on to important emails waiting for your reply.
It makes sense to feel anxiety over accidentally losing them.
You don't have to worry.
Google Chrome remembers your web page browsing history, and you should be able to fully recover regardless of what went wrong.
Follow these simple steps to restore an accidentally closed window - with all your tabs.
1. Click the three dots in the top right corner of an open Chrome window.
2. Hover over “History.”
3. Click the first option on the drop-down menu under “Recently Closed" to open the last window you shut. (If a recently closed window had multiple tabs, the number of tabs would show in the drop-down menu.)
4. Click on “Restore Window.”
To simplify this process, you can use the keyboard shortcut Command + Shift + T, which will bring up a window of all the tabs you just closed out.
You can keep pressing Command + Shift + T until Chrome runs out of closed tabs and windows to restore.
Please note: if you were browsing incognito (private mode) and lost your tabs, Chrome will not restore them.
