    If you close multiple tabs in your Chrome there is an alert box asking to "Close all the tabs?"

    Yes Chrome closes the tab if you are pressing the X button without any confirmation and it can be quite annoying if you accidently close it in order to do so. You can press CTRL + SHIFT + T To restore your previous session of all your tabs.

    You could also look for a Chrome extension such as Windows Close Protector

    I believe the closest thing to this feature in stock Chrome is "continue where I left off" under the "On startup" section in settings.

    Is there a way to view how many tabs I have opened today in Chrome?

    Does an extension or something exist, that lets me see how many tabs I open in Chrome over the span of a day, hour, week, whatever?

    There used do be some kind of built in stats using about:stats, but that does not work any more.

    Yes it is possible. But this will start counting only after you install thins Extension.

    This will say the number of tabs that are open. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cacjfndbmpdblhkmamkhmdadnoddgoon?utm_source=chrome-ntp-icon

    If you want to know the number of tabs you have opened over a period of time then you may need to install,
