Well yes, but if you have 20+ tabs open in a couple of windows, it's disruptive and time consuming to close and reopen all of them.

Chrome actually reopens all tabs for you if you use the command after restarting chrome. I don't like the author's solution because I use cmd 1-9 for navigating between tabs.

  I don't like the author's solution either. Cmd+Option Q seems like an unused alternative that wouldn't require a major re-wire of habits to change to, just a slight mash of the keys to the left. I initially thought Cmd+Shift Q would be better, but that is tied to System Logout.

    Ah, that must be why there's the inconsistency between Mac and other platforms here. On Windows and Linux, Ctrl-Q does nothing; Ctrl-Shift-Q exits Chrome.

And I'm sometimes a little annoyed at all the things to which I've been saying for the last week "I'll get back to that" suddenly showing up in my company's proxy logs all at once.

  If that's a serious concern you might want to rethink your company ;)

I forget where I saw this tip, but after making this mistake several times I remapped command-Q in Chrome to the "Zoom" command. (Keyboard control panel -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Application Shortcuts). It's already saved me lots of time. And of course, any harmless menu command will work in place of "Zoom." Edit: after I RTFA, I see this is much like what the article suggested. The only real difference is that my approach prevents you from quitting from the keyboard at all.

Firefox + BarTab FTW.

why not use sessioin buddy[0] plugin, which save your tabs, so you don't have to open 20+ all at once [0] https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/edacconmaakjimmfgnblocblbcdcpbko https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/edacconmaakjimmf...
