Restart methods:
Method 1: Recording manually.

You can record up to 10 sessions, if you have several recorded you must select the one you want to use.
You can change the name to help you identify them better.
Method 2: Recording in memory when the button is used.
In this method "Restart Browser" does not record anything on disk, it only saves in memory, at the moment of giving the button it records the state, closes all the tabs and windows and reopens them.
Method 3: Automatically recording the current session.
In this method, the session is recorded automatically each time you open or close a tab, at the moment you click on the button, the same session you were in is recovered.
Method 4: Open a web page.
At the time of restart, close everything and open the web page of your choice.
Method 5 (PREMIUM): Using an auxiliary application.
This is the only method that reboots the browser completely, closing it and reopening it. For this you have to install the 'Time Restart' application for Windows that you can buy on the website and it has to be open.

You can use method 1 with this method, also recording up to 10 sessions.
