Using Chrome Tab Search

Are you one of those out there that has a million tabs open in your Chrome browser right now? (You don’t need to raise your hand, you know who you are.) Maybe you have so many that all you can see is the favicon (image in tab) on your tab. Then you spend too much time clicking all those similar YouTube tabs trying to find “just the right one”. Well, there is an easier (and more time-saving) way to find the correct tab. Use the Tab Search built right into Chrome.

Search Open Tabs:

1. Look to the far right at the top of Chrome. You will see a dropdown arrow that looks like this: “V”. Click that.

2. The top section shows a listing of tabs that are currently open. Scroll until you see the one you need to open and click on it.

Open a Recently Closed Tab:

1. The best way to do this is to use the keyboard shortcut “Control+Shift+T”.

2. If there have been a LOT of closed tabs click the down arrow that looks like this: “V”. 

3. The top section shows a listing of tabs that are currently open. Scroll until you see the “Recently Closed” section.

4. Scroll until you find the tab you wish to bring back. You might not find your tab as our district blocks the storing of “Browsing History” but this will work for the current browsing session and not many days back. 

Now you can easily find the tab you are looking for. 

*Note: Every tab you have open does take system resources. The few tabs, the quicker your device will run.
