Restart Browser por Nacho Vázquez

Restart Browser

"Restart Browser" allows you to reset the browser status to where you prefer with just one button.
This new version has new features and multiple improvements, which make "Restart Browser" a magnificent and unique extension in its sector.
But not only that, it is a great session manager and also allows you to free up memory and CPU making your navigation much more fluid.

Options:

• - 5 browser restart methods.
• - Possibility of leaving the tabs "sleeping" until you activate them.
• - Notice on manual restart.
• - Import / export / reset the options.
• - Record up to 10 sessions with all your windows and tabs.
• - Open a session when starting the browser.

Restart methods:

Method 1: Recording manually.

In this method the session is recorded with all its windows and tabs when it is given to the record button.
You can record up to 10 sessions, if you have several recorded you must select the one you want to use.
You can change the name to help you identify them better.

Method 2: Recording in memory when the button is used.

In this method "Restart Browser" does not record anything on disk, it only saves in memory, at the moment of giving the button it records the state, closes all the tabs and windows and reopens them.

Method 3: Automatically recording the current session.

In this method, the session is recorded automatically each time you open or close a tab, at the moment you click on the button, the same session you were in is recovered.

Method 4: Open a web page.

At the time of restart, close everything and open the web page of your choice.

Method 5 (PREMIUM): Using an auxiliary application.

This is the only method that reboots the browser completely, closing it and reopening it. For this you have to install the 'Time Restart' application for Windows that you can buy on the website and it has to be open.
The extension closes the browser and notifies the application to reopen it.
You can use method 1 with this method, also recording up to 10 sessions.
