Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/67.0.3396.99 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: Chrome just crashed on me (first restart since July 22). After relaunching I got the option to restore previous session, which I choose to do. It crashed again. I repeated this cycle twice with the same result. Time to take a different approach. I now manually tried to restore one group of tabs at a time (I had six windows open with around 100 tabs all in all when the initial crash happened), but again Chrome crashed. After this restart restoring previous sessions just restored the one tab group I manually restored before the last crash and all other tab groups are gone, even from History (A handful of random addresses are listed in the history. I guess Chrome didn't have time to update the history with all restored pages before it crashed during my previous attempts to restore the session). 1. 2. 3. What is the expected behavior? Chrome should handle this use case better. Keep previous sessions for 24 hours or something like that and give me an option to restore the second or third oldest session, let me browse among old sessions and so on. What went wrong? I lost 95 out of 100 tabs. Crashed report ID: How much crashed? Whole browser Is it a problem with a plugin? No Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 67.0.3396.99 Channel: n/a OS Version: OS X 10.13.6 Flash Version: I manually try to remember to, before I restart Chrome after a crash, manually backup the settings folder but I forgot it this time. I do backup my computer but only once a day so I lost one day of sessions when this happened.

Yes I can but the crash has nothing to do with this problem, it is a design decision. The initial state could be something like this: I have three windows open, A, B and C. Each window has a bunch of tabs. Chrome crashes and I try to restore the previous session but this immediately makes Chrome crash again. Next time I try to restore window A manually. A opens, the tabs loads for a while and then it crash again. Now when I restart B and C are lost, I can only restore the previous session = the A window. This has nothing to do with the crashes but is how Chrome is designed: the previous session is just A. B and C belong to older sessions.

Routing to chrisha@ for Session Restore. Personally, I have seen this on Chrome Canary when the Canary is dead.
