MacBook Pro (2015) just died. So many crucial tabs that I always save by restoring previous session. Any way to retrieve this??? Does it live somewhere online or in the bowels of the hard drive available for extraction???

(Old drive) Just find your profile path, then go to the folder named sessionstore-backups. In there look for files like previous and recovery with a big size and recent date. Then move it to the new computer. Move the file to your profile folder and name it sessionstore.jsonlz4. see screenshot

If you use the Time Machine or other backup then try to restore file(s) from this backup.
