StartwerkTabs and windows
Up to eight entries, including whole windows with all their tabs.
Reopen closed tabs in Chrome with one click.
It happens to everyone: a tab closed a second too early. Startwerk lists your recently closed tabs and windows on the new tab, so you get them back with one click instead of digging through your history.

Get back what you just closed
Chrome already remembers the tabs and windows you closed last. Startwerk shows up to eight of them right on your new tab, with their names, and restores the one you click, whole windows included.
The quickest way without Startwerk is the keyboard: Ctrl+Shift+T on Windows and Linux, or Cmd+Shift+T on a Mac, reopens the last closed tab. Press it again for the one before. The Startwerk list helps when you want a tab from a few steps back.
