Advanced session management is something that Google's web browser lacks currently. The only option that is provided is to open the tabs that have been opened in the last browsing session. There is however no way to save a session to be able to open it at a later time.
That's what the Session Manager extension for Google Chrome 4 does. It allows the user to save the current browsing session so that it can be loaded again at a later time. All the relevant information will be saved so that the user can start exactly the way it was when the session was saved.
The extension will place a new icon in the Google Chrome address bar that can be used to save and manage sessions. A click on the button reveals a menu that will display the currently stored sessions, the ability to save the current session and options to rename, load or delete sessions that have been saved before.
Saving sessions can be interesting for several purposes. It can obviously be used to return to a browsing session at a later time but some specific applications include creating groups of websites, e.g. news, business and computers, that can be opened together. Another use might include research or business related sessions that open websites that are always relevant for the job.
The Google Chrome Session Manager can be downloaded from the Google Chrome Extensions gallery. The extension is compatible with Google Chrome 4. Firefox users might want to look at the 10 useful firefox add-on articles which includes a session manager for their web browser as well.
