How It Works

The Chrome Session Restorer operates in a straightforward manner, ensuring that session recovery is smooth and reliable.

Input or Trigger — The tool listens for Chrome or system crashes, and triggers when an interruption is detected.

Core Logic — Once triggered, it identifies the last active session using stored session data and automatically attempts to restore the tabs.

Output or Action — The tool restores the session and reopens active tabs in the Chrome browser.

Other Functionalities — Users can configure schedules for session recovery, ensuring that it works seamlessly even during unexpected device reboots.

Safety Controls — Built-in error handling mechanisms prevent the tool from attempting recovery when Chrome is not ready, minimizing the chance of failure.
