Important! Each of the instructions presented below implies the restoration of Google Chrome, but is a completely different procedure and gives different results. What of them and when to apply depends on the task set, and we will voice it at the beginning of each method.
Method 1: Restore tabs
If you do not need to restore the Google Chrome itself, and the tabs open in it after the emergency completion of the browser (for example, hanging and subsequent forced closing, error or failure), you should use the offer in the pop-up window, which automatically appears when restarting it. Pressing the button shown in the image will immediately return all the tabs that were open during the last session.
You can re-open sites closed in normal mode (by an error or conscious) using the context menu called on the top of the program, a combination of keys, contacting the history of visits and some other methods that were previously reviewed by us in a separate instruction.

Method 2: Cleaning Data and Reset Settings
Recovery may imply a Google Chrome refund to its original state in which the browser was immediately after it is installed, until you authorize in Google and settings. If this is the task you want to decide, depending on the version of the application used, do the following:Option 1: Browser on PC
- Call the program menu and go to its "settings".
- Scroll through the open page down to the "Privacy and Security" block.
- Click "Clear Story".
- Being in the "Basic Settings" tab of the window that opened the window, select the period accumulated data for which you want to delete. Below, tick all categories or only those that consider more unnecessary, and then click "Delete Data".
Or for more efficient and complete cleaning, go to the "Additional" tab, in the "Time Range" drop-down list, select the "All Time" option,
Tick all the items available in this window and click on the Delete Data button.
Important! The fulfillment of the last action will entail not only the cleaning of the history of visited sites, cookies and temporary browser files, but also erase passwords and data for autofill.
- Return to the main section "Settings" Google Chrome, scroll it at the very end and expand the list "Additional".
- Scroll down the page down and select "Restore Default Settings".
- In the pop-up window, click "Reset Settings"
Expect until the procedure is completed, after which the account will be suspended.
In order to log in again and access all the features of the browser, including data synchronization, click on the labeled inscription (1) and use the "Repeat input" button (2).
Enter the login first,
And then the password from your google account, both times pressing "Next" to go to the next step.
The instruction described above consists of two stages - cleaning the browser data (paragraphs No. 1-4) and reset its settings (No. 5-7). Depending on the desired result, you can perform them both together and separately.
Option 2: Mobile application
Note: The instruction below is shown on the example of the Google Chrome application for iOS (iPhone). To achieve a similar result on Android, you will need to perform exactly the same actions.
- Call the Mobile Application Menu and go to its "Settings".
- Scroll through the open page a bit down
And tap the section "Privacy".
- Open the "Cleaning History" subsection.
- Tick the knots you need or immediately all points,
In the list above, specify the "temporary range", the accumulated data for which is required to erase.
- Deciding with the choice, click on the window of the inscription "Cleaning History" below
And confirm your intentions in the pop-up window.
After a moment, the main data of Google Chrome will be completely removed from your phone, which is confirmed by the message in the pop-up window.
The ability to fully reset the settings in the mobile version of the browser is not provided, instead, it is proposed to exit the account and delete all the data on the device. In essence, this procedure involves the same as the instruction above, and it is possible to implement it in the "Settings" section, tapping on the image of your profile by selecting the appropriate paragraph and confirming the intention.
Method 3: Restoration of performance
If, under the restoration of Google Chrome, it means eliminating certain problems in the work of the browser or the resumption of its functioning after the occurrence of various errors and failures, it is necessary to act on an algorithm other than those discussed above. About what to do in such cases, we have previously been told in separate articles, references to which are given below.

Method 4: Data Synchronization
The Google Chrome Recovery Task may also mean receiving access to information and settings saved and installed on another device where the browser is used. It is possible to achieve this result by synchronizing the data - a function that is activated automatically immediately after logging into the Google account, but if this happens, you will need to do the following.
Optionally, you can make some adjustments to the operation of this function, specifying which data will be synchronized between the devices, and which is not. For this:
- In the configuration of the browser for the PC, you should open the subsection "Management data for synchronization",
And in the mobile application "Synchronization".
- On the computer, select the "Synchronization Setup" option, marking its marker,
And on the phone, turn off the switch opposite the "Synchronize All" item.
- At its discretion, mark those parameters,
Which must be available on all devices, and disconnect unnecessary.
To save the changes made in the application, tap the inscription "ready" located in the upper right corner.
Method 5: Reinstalling the browser
The last option to restore Google Chromium on the PC is largely intersecting with the considered in the first part of the article, since it allows you to achieve a similar result - a clean browser without any saved data and independently specified settings in the form in which it appears before the user when you first start . The procedure involves the complete deletion of the program from the computer, clean the operating system from the traces of its use and the subsequent installation of the current version downloaded from the developer's official website. In more detail about each of the stages, we told in a separate article on our website.

Method 6: Restoring applications (iOS and Android)
Similar to the previous version of the restoration of Google Chrome, but already its mobile version is to re-install the application, which for one reason or another was deleted. And on the iPhone, and on Android is the easiest way to do this using a pre-installed store - App Store or Google Play Market, respectively - but there are other methods. All of them were considered in detail us in a separate instruction.
