I powerwashed my Chromebook recently.  After I did this, I then logged into one of my Google accounts.   I noticed that after I log in, it would do things like download a few programs which it always does and download a few apps that I have used previously.  Example, like thundervpn and few other apps I downloaded.

 

 

The thing is when I open Chrome browser, all my old saved Chrome tabs that open up automatically isn't there.  That is normal right?  Now normally whenever I log into my Google account in the Chromebook and then open Chrome browser, I could have like 30 Chrome Tabs where each tab could have say 10 tabs each or more.  So I could have like 300 Chrome Tabs total.  I have that option in chrome where it would open the last saved pages so I had a lot of chrome tabs within chrome tabs.  Like I want it to open up the chrome tabs like how it was previously. 

 

 

The thing is when I go to my Chrome history, there is your devices and it shows Chromebook below it where if you click on it, it would show you your old entire Chrome history I believe.  So when I looked at that, I noticed the old chrome tabs previously.  However, is there a way now to restore those chrome tabs the way it was before I powerwashed the Chromebook?  Say if I had 10 chrome tabs and each had like 5 chrome tabs so total of 50.  But you want those chrome tabs to open all up like the way it was before.  Is there a way to do this now with my other Google accounts that I am going to log back into now?  Or I had to do something with the settings with each of those Google accounts before the Powerwash?  So far with a few of my Google accounts that I logged into on the Chromebook after powerwashing it, there are no old chrome tabs that open up.  Is there a way to do this with these google accounts or other ones that I will log in soon?

If washed it would think your out of luck unless below.

Chrome menu (3 dots) > History > Recently closed lists groups of tabs from previous sessions (most recent on top). Select that and choose "Restore all tabs".

 

Obsession with cleaning is your down fall.

When I go to history, it does show the old history.  The issue though is you would have to manually click on each tab to open each one.  Like I would have to manually click on 300 tabs to open each one of them. 

 

 

I want to open like the 30 chrome Tabs that have like 10 tabs of each like how it was right before I did the Powerwash.  Can I still do that now or not? 

 

 

The thing is if I had say 10 chrome tabs and each had like say 2 chrome tabs each so 20 total chrome tabs.  Well that would be easy to manually open each one.  But not when you have like 300 and you want to open it like how it was previously with like 30 chrome tabs and 10 within each.

A Chromebook is a computer running on the Chrome OS produced by Google and this BC section - Chrome OS - is the correct place for seeking help and advice on problems related to that OS as you have been advised before, not the Win 10 section Please make any future queries about problems related to the Chrome OS here and not in the Win 10 section.

Anyone know if there is a way to do this?  The thing is all these 300 Chrome Tabs seem to be single.  So you have to click on each one.  I want to have it opened up where they all open up 30 Chrome Tabs and 10 Tabs within each so all 300 Chrome Tabs open up.

No can do unless you group them.

So group them would do that but it isn't still the way I want it.  

 

 

I have to Powerwash Chromebook again. 

 

 

So there isn't like a program or app you could download where you could save all your current Chrome Tabs the way it is... so the next way you open Chrome after Powerwash... that it opens the way it is?  Thus once you Powerwash Chromebook... then restore it... then open Chrome, it opens all the Chrome Tabs?

Someone suggested session buddy.  Anyone have opinion on this?  How do I download session buddy?  Is it directly from their website or it's from the chromestore website search on Google here?

 

 

 

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/session-buddy/edacconmaakjimmfgnblocblbcdcpbko?hl=en&pli=1

 

 

However, some reviews say it no longer works or it still does?  I want to save all my chrome tabs the way it is in several of my google accounts in my Chromebook as I will powerwash Chromebook and then log back into it later on so want the chrome tabs to open the same chrome tabs.  However, wouldn't there be an issue since I'm wiping my Chromebook clean though since I'm also deleting session buddy as well?

I would highly recommend that you stop viewing adult material, so you do not have to have worry about malware or anything else on your computers. Would lead to a less stressful life.

Sports sites wouldn't be laced with malware
