Session saving extension for Chrome

I'm using Session Buddy and i'm looking for an alternative.

What pisses me off about SB:

1. if you have multiple windows in a session and you save the session there is no way to tell it to restore all the windows next time you run it, rather it will only restore one window and then you have to get it to restore the others manually, which leads to:

2. when it restores windows it loads all the tabs immediately, which, KILLS the computer loading all that stuff into memory.

So I'm looking for an alternative that can restore all tabs at startup and doesn't load all the tabs when you restore a session.

When you restore a window does it load all tabs at once or just one?

What does it do at startup? Does it just show a blank tab, giving you the option what to restore?

It loads them all at once. What it does at startup is controlled by Chrome's startup options, like Open New Tab, Restore Previous Tabs, or Open a Specific Set of Pages.

Chrome's gotten a lot better about loading a lot of tabs at once, it does seem to lazy-load them a bit. I've been on an i3 Kaby Lake laptop lately and it's not very powerful, but Chrome runs fine even when I restore a window full of tabs.
