The Never-Ending-Open-Tabs Dilemma (Chrome Users)

Do you ever find yourself with many, many, tabs open?😬

Do you sometimes ask yourself, "Hmmm, which tab is it?"🤔


Have you ever had to peer closely to try and figure out which tab is which because there are so many open and they just keep getting tinier?!😵


Did you know that each tab in Chrome is essentially another instance of Chrome open? The more tabs you have open, the harder your browser is working...the slower your connection might be!😨

😀You're not alone and there might be a solution for you : 🙌


Try OneTab. It condenses all of your tabs into a single tab. All of your tabs will sit in a list in the one tab 😉. You can click to open the ones you need when you need them or restore/delete them all at once.

If the thought of your tabs "disappearing" freaks you out a little, you might prefer The Great Suspender. You can choose to suspend specific tabs or all except the one you're on. The tabs remain up, but they're "paused" (not slowing you down) until you reload them or choose to un-suspend all.

Don't forget, Tab Cloud was shared a while back too. Pretty nifty extension that will save tab lists for you. I have saved tab lists for Start of Day, "morning" announcements, and others for specific lessons that I teach.

Keyboard shortcuts?

Move across tabs on your Mac by holding "Control" and pressing the "tab" key

Move backwards through your tabs by holding "Control" and "Shift" while tapping the "tab" key

Command "w" will close a tab

Command Shift "t" will reopen a closed tab
