Are there any ways to fish out further "Recently Closed" tabs/windows? Or restore a pre-previous session?

[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1032402, member: 52014"] Whenever you attempt to open or edit a database file directly, there is a risk of corrupting the database, but if you are working with a copy of the backup file, then it is safe to make edits to it without affecting the original database. As for pasting the backup files inside the original Session Storage folder or replacing all its files with the copies from 04/02/2023, it could potentially work, but it could also lead to data loss or corruption. Before attempting to replace or modify any files in the Session Storage folder, you should make a backup copy of the original folder to avoid losing any data. However, it's important to note that the "Session Storage" folder is not designed to restore lost tabs or sessions. It mainly stores information about user preferences and settings, and modifying its contents directly could lead to unintended consequences. The best way to prevent losing your open tabs is to use a session manager extension that automatically saves your sessions or manually export and back up your sessions regularly. The "Session Storage" folder contains information about user preferences, such as settings for the browser, extensions, and website data. However, it does not contain information about specific browser sessions or tabs. On the other hand, the "Session" folder contains data about saved browser sessions but only the most recent one. Once you close Brave, the contents of the "Session" folder are replaced with the latest session, and the previous session data is lost. So, in short, the LevelDB database file in the "Session Storage" folder is not directly relevant to the session information stored in the "Session" folder. It's important to note that the "Session Storage" folder is not meant to be used as a backup or recovery method for browser sessions. The best way to prevent losing your open tabs is to use a session manager extension that automatically saves your sessions or manually export and back up your sessions regularly. Unfortunately, once you closed the Brave application, it's highly unlikely that you can retrieve the pre-previous session as it was not saved. When you close Brave, the current session in the "Session" folder is replaced with the latest one, so the previous session data is lost. Since the previous session was not saved before you closed the browser, it's unlikely that there is a backup or trash bin equivalent for it. It's similar to closing a document on your computer without saving it. The unsaved changes are lost once you close the document, and there is no way to recover them. If you have already checked the "Session Storage" folder and the "Recently Closed" list and were unable to find the missing tabs, it's possible that they were not stored in those locations. Unfortunately, without a backup or session manager extension, it's unlikely that you can retrieve the pre-previous session data. [/QUOTE]
