    Can Chrome automatically save your previous session on exit and allow you to either start a new browsing session or load your previous session each time you start the browser the way Firefox and Opera do? Or are you forced to pick one way or the other in the Options menu and stick with it?

    Close your window with tabs. Open a new window and hit Ctrl + Shift + T. The first closed window will reappear.

    A tad more obscure than I'd hoped, but it was exactly what I was looking for :) Thanks!

    It will automatically save your session if you close with tabs. If your homepage is the "new tab" place where your favorite sites are, then at the bottom will be a list of like the 6 most previous sites that you have visited. If you close the browser with multiple tabs, then just click the "3 tabs" button on that list.
