It's Only Simple If You Already Know How To Do It
Managing Multiple Tabs in Google Chrome


Google Chr—oo—oo—me
I got a nice web browser
Shows me all the shiny colors
So, Mama, don't take my Google Chrome away
— With Sincere Apologies To Mr. Paul Simon

Now I realize that to any Digital Native or other Propeller-Head, such as Yours Truly, what follows is indeed simple.  So simple, in fact, that I have put all of the instructions all on one graphic image file.  Anyone so inclined to think this posting is a fine example of wasted cycles has not watched, as I have, users struggle with multiple open tabs until instructed on how to close individual tabs.  So put that on your battery and vape it.

"How could I end up with multiple open tabs?" you may ask.  Well, while surfing the Dispatches From the Front, for instance, you may notice that any link that connects to a website outside the eppresents.com website opens up in its own separate tab.  That way the user can choose to interact with the new tab, or ignore that.  Nonetheless, after a rousing and hopefully enlightening session with Dispatches, you are left with a whole lot of open tabs.

The image below shows how to manage multiple tabs in Google Chrome, although the actions are similar in any other browser or application.  In fact, this post started out about Tabs in Notepad.  While making the image you see below, I realized that, first it was redundant; and second only Propeller-Heads, such as Yours Truly, use Notepad these days.  Nevertheless, multiple tabs are becoming, like AI is, ubiquitous in many of our computing tasks.

So without further ado or a don't, Google Tabs Tutorial in One Image.

Or here's the Steps.

1.  You have on your screen multiple open Browser tabs like you see below.
2.  To close any one tab, first mouse over that tab. 
     (a) A thumbnail image of that tab's content will appear to help verify that it is the tab you wish to close.
3.  To close the one open tab, Click the X to right of the Tab's Title.
4.  At one tab left open, clicking that tab closes the browser application.  Or...
5.  Click the + sign to open a new browser window tab.

Easy Peezie, Me Mates.

 

When I think back on all the crap I learned in A Plus
It’s a wonder I can tech support at all
Now registry modifications they don’t bother me
‘Cause I just use a browser and that’s all

Google Chr—oo—oo—me
I got a nice web browser
Shows me all the shiny colors
So, Mama, don't take my Google Chrome away.
