If you are one of those people that keeps their browser open all week without restarting it you may be missing out on important security updates.

The Chrome browser has had THREE updates this week alone...

Get in the habit of restarting your browser everyday...

You will be able to restore your tabs via the keyboard shortcut of CTRL + ALT + T for both Chrome & Edge, when the browser restarts.
