Drag multiple tabs at the same time

It is usual that when we use Google Chrome let's work with several tabs at the same time. You may want to move several of them at a certain time, to work more comfortably. This is something that we usually do individually, moving each tab in turn. But the browser lets us drag several tabs at the same time.

Open specific pages at startup

Chrome

Many people, for work, tend to use some web pages constantly in the browser. Therefore, it may be interesting that when opening Google Chrome these pages are opened directly in the browser. Thus, these pages that have to be used are already open. This is something that we can configure in the browser in a simple way.

We have to enter its configuration and go to the section of When opening the browser. There we have to select the option called "Open a specific page or a set of pages". In this way, we can then choose which web pages we want to have it open in Google Chrome every time we open the computer.

Switch tabs using the keyboard

We work with many tabs on a regular basis in Google Chrome. There may be times when you have many open and want to go to another, but we don't know very well. We have the possibility to move between tabs using the computer keyboard. You have to use the CTRL + TAB key combination. We can move in this way from right to left between the tabs that we have open at that moment.

If you have less than ten tabs open, you can go to a specific one using CTRL and then hitting the tab number you want to open. A good way to move around in Google Chrome at all times. It allows a very comfortable use of the browser.

Find open tabs

A trick related to the previous section. It is very likely that you have many tabs open at the same time, which in many cases makes it difficult to find the one you want to use. Fortunately, Google Chrome allows you to find open tabs In a simple way. So we can see if there is one open in particular.

So what you have to do is use the address bar to search. If said tab, said address, is open at this time, it will be highlighted and with the indication to change the tab. So you can then access this other tab in Google Chrome in a simple way.

Recover closed tabs

Something that surely has happened to most of us on occasion. As we have many pages open, we want to close some of them, but by mistake we end up closing more pages than we should and we suddenly close one that we wanted to use. This is somewhat annoying, because we have to look at the history to retrieve said tab. Although in Google Chrome we can also achieve it through a simple keyboard shortcut.

The browser has a very simple key combination, what is CTRL + SHIFT + T. Thanks to it, we can recover these tabs that we have closed at all times. The merge retrieves the last tab that was closed. Therefore, you will probably have to repeat the process until the one you were looking for opens.
