OK, I am sick of this.

I am one of those people who has a lot of tabs open at any one time (that is also what the inside of my head looks like).

My phone/tablet (Android) deals with this fine. My Windows 10 laptop is usually OK although occasionally craps itself and loses them. My Chromebook however (ie it *is* Chrome) is shocking. I don't have many windows open, but regular as clockwork it says it shut down incorrectly and do I want to restore - sometimes it does, sometimes they are all gone.

Is there something that will sit in the background keeping an eye and save them so that if Chrome does crap itself I can find them again? It is happening with alarming regularity - twice now in the same place (not my home network). I don't know if it is running out of resources or there's somthing about the network.

I have tried a couple of things like TooManyTabs / TheGreatSuspender but neither seems to do quite what I want...

Help!

First guess would be a resources issue. How much RAM in the machine, and how much free space is there left on the internal storage?

Next time you're using it press Ctrl+Alt+T to open a new terminal tab, and then type top and hit enter.
It'll display detailed information on system resources, memory available will be near the top.

Ram issue I would say, my old Acer Chromebook used to do it alot, my LG Chromebase that I've upgraded to 8GB doesn't do it.
