Mom, Look at the Mountains!

Posted on October 27, 2017October 25, 2017 by Lori

Graphic of 53 open tabs across the browser

My daughter looked at the top of my Chrome Web Browser and said,  “Mom, look at those mountains!”  I gave her a puzzled look.  Living in Iowa, we don’t see many (actually, any) mountains when we look out our window.  She pointed to the top of my screen.  Yes, they did look like mountains.  I had so many browser tabs opened that you couldn’t even read what was in each tab.  I didn’t have that many open.  OK, maybe I did — I counted.  53.

Rather ashamed, I weighed how useful having so many tabs open was to me.  “If I close one of them, I might forget about it,”  I thought.  Chrome has a feature that you can decide to close tabs quickly if you right-click on one of the tabs.  You can close the current tab (Ctrl-W is the shortcut),  close other tabs — to keep what you are working on in focus), close tabs to the right of the one you are on,  restore the last tab you closed (Ctrl-Shift-T), and bookmark all of your tabs (Ctrl-Shift-D).  None of those appealed to me to make my mountains more manageable.

Enter OneTab.  One Tab is a Chrome Extension that will take all of your tabs (even in multiple browser windows — yes, I had that going on, too), and consolidate them into one tab with all of the open tabs listed.

Better?

If you are like me and get carried away with open tabs, give OneTab a try.
