Before you email — quick fixes
- A tab didn't restore. Chrome blocks extensions from reopening its own internal pages (
chrome://), and some URLs expire or break over time. Cairn skips these rather than failing, and tells you how many were skipped.
- Keyboard shortcut doesn't work. Another extension may have claimed it — go to
chrome://extensions/shortcuts and reassign.
- Old-tab detection seems off. Chrome doesn't expose exactly when a tab was opened, so Cairn uses the most recent time you viewed it, falling back to browsing history. Tabs restored from a previous browser session may show unusual ages.
- Lost your workspaces. If Chrome's data for the extension was cleared, or it was uninstalled and reinstalled, local storage is wiped — this is why Settings → Export data is worth doing occasionally as a backup.
