Viewing All Tabs on Computer
Open up Chrome. Open up the Chrome web browser on your computer. If you have multiple windows open, click on the one that you want to view all tabs for. Be sure that you’re using the most recent update of Chrome. You may not be able to view all tabs if you’re using an older version.
Click on the Search Tabs icon. This looks like a down arrow, and it’s located in the top right corner of the window. The Search Tabs popup window will now appear. An alternative way to get here is by using the keyboard shortcut: Shift + Command + A on Mac, or Control + Shift + A on PC.
Scroll through the tabs. Scroll through the Search Tabs popup window to view all your tabs. You can see all current tabs (underneath the “Open Tabs” header), as well as recently closed tabs (underneath the “Recently Closed” header).
Search a tab. If you have many tabs open, you may prefer to search for a specific one. Do this by clicking the Search Tabs text box at the top of the popup window and typing in a name. Any tabs that fit your search criteria will appear below.
Go to a tab. Once you find a tab that you want to go to, simply click on it in the Search Tabs window.
See grouped tabs (optional). Tab groups are essentially folders for your tabs. If your group is closed, you won’t be able to see the tabs in it. To open it up and view the tabs, simply click on the group label at the top of your window. Every tab inside will now appear to the right of the label.
Close tabs (optional). To close out of a tab using the Search Tabs window, hover your cursor over a certain tab. Now click the X button to the right of it. If you close a tab by mistake and want to open it again, click the three dots in the upper right-hand corner and open the menu. Then click on history to see everything you viewed recently. Or use the shortcut, CTRL + H to view history.
