Too many Google Chrome tabs open? Here's how to manage it.

How To Manage Multiple Tabs? Tips & Tricks

Over the course of a day, the number of open tabs may quickly build up. You may begin by checking email or updating tasks in your project management application, only to find you have seven, eight, ten, or even twenty tabs open in Google Chrome when you glance up.

Having too many tabs open might cause some issues. The first is that you'll have a hard time determining which tab is which. You can readily see the title of the website on the tab at the top of your browser if you just have a few tabs open. As your tabs cram in to make room for the new ones you're opening, their titles progressively fade away.

Another problem is that having several tabs on your computer slows it down. Each tab contains its own content, graphics, and code that use bandwidth in the background. It's possible that your work may become slow or, worse, halt completely. Your browser might crash as a result of all the activity, taking all of your active tabs with it.

Even if your smartphone doesn't crash, you can still delete all of your tabs with a single click. Everything, including your open tabs, is closed when you click the small red dot in the top left corner of your Chrome browser. There's a chance you'll lose everything you have open if that occurs for whatever reason.

The good news is that Chrome features a built-in feature that allows you to quickly restore your tabs if your browser window shuts. It's not guaranteed, which means there's a chance you might lose everything. However, in most circumstances, you can just launch Chrome and choose History and Recently Closed from the drop-down menu. When you click that, everything will open at the same time.

Multiple Google Chrome Accounts Management

You may have a different Google account if you use Google for work. If that's the case, you've probably seen the advantages of having separate accounts for browsing and shopping. You have a unique collection of bookmarks on your work-issued device, as well as a history that is uniquely connected with that account. When you switch to your own device, you'll be able to access your bookmarks and history right away.

However, you don't require a separate Google Chrome profile assigned to you by your work. In seconds, you may create a new Google account and be on your way to decluttering your life. To create a new Google account, go to your profile picture at the top of your browser and choose Other profiles from the drop-down menu.

You'll probably want to use the same device to access several profiles. Perhaps you have an urgent job assignment to do while on vacation, or you want access to something you spotted when surfing the web at home.

To switch profiles on Google Chrome, click on your profile image and choose the other profile from the drop-down menu. If it doesn't display, choose Add another account and sign in using the email address and password from the other profile. When you're done, click your profile image once again to return to your previous profile.

How to Use an App to Manage Multiple Tabs

Yes, switching between several accounts in Google Chrome is simple, but it does take some effort. If you switch between profiles often during the day, you'll probably prefer a simpler method. Here are a few applications that might assist you:

Shift makes switching between accounts a breeze. Simply download the program, then choose Google Chrome from the list of applications by clicking the plus symbol. After that, all you have to do is type in your email address and password. Carry out the same steps for each Google account. After that, you'll be able to switch accounts with a single click. You may then create tabs for each email address to keep everything in order.

OneTab is a Chrome plugin that allows you to keep track of all your open tabs in one spot. They're saved in a list, which you may utilize to get right to the tabs. There's no need to leave tabs open since everything is saved where you can find it later.

Another Chrome Extension for tab management is Tab Manager Plus. When you have a lot of tabs open, it makes it easier to locate them.

Your tab issue may be solved quickly using XTabs. It merely restricts the amount of tabs you may open at any one moment. When you hit your limit, you tell the extension what to do. You may dismiss the tab that has been unused the longest, the one that has been accessed the fewest times, or the tab that you initially opened. You may also change the amount of tabs that can be open at once.

How to Rearrange and Move Tabs

It might be beneficial to learn the fundamental technique of shifting tabs around in Chrome before downloading an app or creating groups. You may already be familiar with how to shift tabs around. To move to the left or right, just click and drag. This is an excellent method to combine tabs that are similar in nature.

But there's one more trick up your sleeve that you should know about. You may drag one of your open tabs off the screen at any moment to create your own browser window. You may then work in that tab alone or open more tabs to utilize in conjunction with it.

Toggling between open windows is as simple as clicking on Window in the menu bar. At the bottom, you'll see a list of all of your windows. If Chrome is on your Mac's taskbar, right-click the icon and choose the window you wish to launch.

To operate with all of the tabs at once, just highlight them all. Simply click the tabs you wish to highlight while holding down the Control key (or Command on a Mac). The highlighted tabs may then be moved to a new browser window or rearranged among the tabs you have open.

Using Groups to Manage Multiple Tabs

Google Chrome offers a built-in feature that you may not be aware of. You may use the browser to build groups that combine numerous tabs into one. Tabs may be organized in a number of ways. You may categorize them by subject or degree of urgency, for example.

To establish groups on Google Chrome, follow these steps:

• Select one of the open tabs using the right-click menu.
• Add a tab to a new group by selecting it.
• Give the group a name and a color scheme.
• Right-click on the additional tabs you wish to link with the first one and choose "join" from the drop-down menu.
• Select Add tab to group and type the name you provided the first tab.
• Remove a tab from the group by right-clicking on it and selecting Remove from group.
• You can move tabs around after you've grouped them together. To cram even more tabs to the right of everything, you may pin a tab and lock the icons in a narrow area. You may then drag all of the tabs to a new window in one cluster after they've been grouped.

How to Change the Start Page in Google Chrome

Do you have any tabs that you open on a daily basis? If that's the case, you may have your favorite tabs appear when you start a new browser session. Follow these procedures to control your startup in Google Chrome:

• Click the three vertical dots in the upper-right corner of your browser window.
• Setup Options
• Scroll all the way down to During the initialization phase
• Choose Open a single page or a group of pages.
• You may either type in the new page or double-check it. Make use of the present pages.
• If you just want to keep track of your favorite websites, bookmarking them is a terrific method to do so. Under the URL bar, your most recent bookmarks will show. The webpage will open in a new tab when you click one of these shortcuts.

Extensions improve your Google surfing experience. Here's how to manage many Google Chrome extensions. From grammar checkers to password managers, you may add a range of applications to your browser.

It's critical to inspect your extensions at least once a year. Remove the ones you don't use very often and put the ones you do use the most at the top. For quick access, they will display in your menu bar at the top of your screen.

To manage your Chrome extensions, follow these steps:

• Click the three vertical dots in the upper-right corner of your Chrome browser.
• More Extensions and Tools to Choose From
• You may read the specifics of any tool here, delete it, or just turn it off and on temporarily.

Consider using a tool like Shift for the extensions you use the most. You may use Shift to add your extensions to the programs you use every day. You can put up extensions that go with numerous accounts and access them everyday without having to switch accounts, just as you can with anything else linked to your Google account.
