Chrome crashed and didn't offer to restore my tabs

Had about thirty tabs open for research. Chrome crashed, and when I reopened it there was no restore prompt, just a blank new tab. History shows them but I'd have to open them one by one. Any way to bring back the whole session?

if you're signed in to chrome with sync on, open history on your phone or another computer. under tabs from other devices you can sometimes still see what was open before the crash, and reopen them from there.

Try Ctrl+Shift+T before you open anything else. It reopens the last closed window with all its tabs, and after a crash that's usually the whole session. If that doesn't do it, Ctrl+H and look under Recently closed for an entry saying something like "8 tabs". Click that. What kills your chances is closing and reopening Chrome a few times while you try things, because each start overwrites the saved session. Afterwards set On startup to "Continue where you left off" so it's not a gamble next time.
