Google Chrome is the most used browser by Windows 10 users . It's a great way to browse the internet, but we don't always get the most out of it. It's a browser that offers many possibilities. Therefore, it's necessary to use some tricks to get the best possible use out of it on your computer. We'll share some of these with you below.
We've got a series of simple tricks to help you get the most out of Google Chrome. You'll be able to take full advantage of the many features this browser offers. By using it regularly, you'll see how you can get the most out of it every time.
Drag multiple tabs at the same time
It's common to work with multiple tabs simultaneously when using Google Chrome . You might want to move several of them at once for greater ease of use. We usually do this individually, moving each tab in turn. But the browser lets you drag multiple tabs at the same time.
Open specific pages at startup
Many people, for work purposes, frequently use certain websites in their browser. Therefore, it can be useful to have these websites open automatically when you open Google Chrome . This way, the pages you need are already open. This is something you can easily configure in your browser.
We need to go into its settings and navigate to the "On startup" section. There, we need to select the option called "Open a specific page or set of pages." This way, we can choose which websites we want to have open in Google Chrome every time we turn on our computer.
Task Manager
Google Chrome has a Task Manager , which can be very useful. It gives you extensive control over what's happening in the browser at any given time. You can see open pages, plugins, extensions, and other elements. So, knowing how to use it can be very convenient.
In your browser settings, go to More tools, and then within that section you'll find Task Manager. It works similarly to the Task Manager in Windows , so you can get a lot of use out of it in Google Chrome.
Switch tabs using the keyboard
We regularly work with many tabs in Google Chrome. There may be times when you have several open and want to switch to another, but you're not quite sure how. Fortunately, you can switch between tabs using your computer's keyboard. Simply use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Tab . This allows you to move from right to left between the tabs you currently have open.
If you have fewer than ten tabs open, you can switch to a specific one by pressing CTRL and then the number of the tab you want to open. This is a great way to navigate Google Chrome at any time, making it very convenient to use the browser.
Find open tabs
A trick related to the previous section. You probably have many tabs open at the same time, which often makes it difficult to find the one you want to use. Luckily, Google Chrome makes it easy to find open tabs, so you can see if a specific one is open.
Therefore, what you need to do is use the address bar to perform a search . If that tab, that address, is currently open, it will be highlighted with a prompt to switch tabs. You will then be able to easily access that other tab in Google Chrome.
Recover closed tabs
Something that has surely happened to most of us at some point. With many tabs open, we want to close one, but by mistake we end up closing more than we should, including one we wanted to use. This is annoying because we have to go through the history to find the tab we wanted to reopen . However, in Google Chrome we can also do this with a simple keyboard shortcut.
The browser has a very simple keyboard shortcut: CTRL+SHIFT+T . This shortcut allows you to reopen tabs you've closed. It only reopens the last tab you closed. Therefore, you may need to repeat the process until you find the tab you're looking for.
