Do you use

Google Chrome

and find yourself lost in a sea of open

tabs

while browsing the internet? If that's the case, you're in luck! Chrome has several built-in features and shortcuts that can assist you in managing your tabs more effectively. In this article, we'll walk you through some simple steps to

organise

your tabs and enhance your browsing experience.

Create tab groups

Tab groups are an excellent way to organise your tabs. To create a tab group, right-click on any tab and select "Add tab to new group." You can then give your group a name and choose a colour. This feature allows you to group related tabs together, making it easier to navigate between different topics or projects.

Add tabs to existing groups

If you wish to add a tab to an existing group, simply right-click on the tab and select "Add tab to group." Then, choose the group you wish the tab to join. Alternatively, you can click and drag a tab into or out of a group to add or remove it. This works even if you have multiple tabs selected simultaneously (hold Ctrl on Windows or Cmd on macOS while clicking to select multiple tabs).

Manage your tab groups

To manage your

tab groups

, right-click on the group's label. From there, you can change the name and colour, ungroup all the tabs within it, close the group entirely, or move it into a new window. You can also save a tab group by toggling on the "Save group" option, which allows you to access the group from your bookmarks bar and sync it across devices.

Search through your tabs

When you have numerous tabs open, finding a specific one can be a challenge. Chrome's built-in "Search tabs" feature comes to the rescue. Click on the downward-facing arrow in the top left or right corner of your window, or hit Ctrl + Shift + A on Windows (Cmd + Shift + A on macOS). This will display a vertical list of all your open tabs, making it easy to find and switch to the one you need. You can also close tabs directly from this menu.

Name your windows

If you prefer to organise your tabs by placing them in separate windows, Chrome allows you to give each window a custom name. Right-click on the empty space next to the new tab ("+") icon and select "Name window." This can be particularly helpful when working on different projects or tasks simultaneously.

Bookmark multiple tabs

To bookmark all open tabs in a window, right-click on the empty space next to the new tab icon and select "Bookmark all tabs." You can also achieve this by pressing Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + D. This will allow you to save your tabs in a designated folder for easy access later.

By following these simple steps, you can take control of your tab chaos and streamline your browsing experience in

Google

Chrome. Whether you're a casual user or a power user, these tab management techniques will help you stay organised and focused while navigating the web. Say goodbye to tab overload and hello to a more efficient browsing session!
