A heads-up to all who are unaware that SafariRestore has morphed into SessionRestore and is now available exclusively from the Safari Extensions Gallery.

I had an issue with Safari Restore that made it not function properly, probably due to my setup, and contacted the developer through email. Russell responded almost instantly and continued to do so, and my issue was quickly resolved with a new version of Safari Restore. Now that's exemplary support, especially considering the fact that Safari Restore has a free license. The same level of support applies to the other (paid) products of Sweetpproductions as well (I use Cookie and Invisible), so this developer is highly appreciated and recommended. A donation had been sent.

Encountered update glitch. Developer remedied problem and responded within a few minutes - and followed up with a explanation. The glitch and subsequent fix process may have uncovered a Safari update deficiency too (recommendation: restart Safari if an extensions update fails). Can't think of how communication and support can get any better - particularly for a free offering. Am sending donation.

I've been using this extension for a while and have come to really appreciate it. At first I didn't really see the purpose of it, as Safari allows one to retain the tabs and URL's from previous sessions, and having an extra tab for it open upon starting up Safari confused me. But with a few minutes of diligent checking it out, it all became clear. Tthat extra tab or window with the Restore Session header is where one can choose to look at previous sessions (menu on LHS), and then choose to reopen any full session or portion of one that you need. The most useful aspect, I find, is for when I accidentally close a tab, which I have kept over several sessions. If you haven't used that tab in the current session, it doesn't seem possible to access it again via Safari's history feature, BUT with Safari Retore, I can bring up the Safari Restore tab/window and go to a previous session that had said lost URL tab at the end of a session, and get it back. Very handy, particularly for single-user machines. I can see, however, how it might be a privacy issue if you share the same computer and account with someone else Also have never found any instabilities to it that I am aware of. And as a general comment for all extensions, seeing that it has been asked here several times, to uninstall this or any extension, just go to Safari->Preferences->Extensions (which becomes a tab in Safari) and choose "uninstall". You can also just choose to disable it.
