  • Use Chrome as an Alarm

First, download the Omnibox Timer extension. Omnibox Timer

  • Open one (or many) mistakenly closed tabs

But chrome is a forgiving browser and its possible to get everything back. Press Control-Shift-T and chrome will reopen recently closed tab. Keep hitting it and get previously closed pages as well.

  • Drag Links Directly to Your Desktop

There are numerous ways to store and organize links you want to click on later.

Highlight the URL from the omnibox and drag and drop it on the desktop.
