Here is just a quick tutorial on how to use internet browsing tabs using Google Chrome.

I usually have about 10 internet browser tabs open at a time at all times so I can move between my websites, social media, Wealthy Affiliate and more. I don't know how anyone can work with just one tab open.

This training was specially requested by Luther so knock yourself out buddy!

There are quite some things missing in this training Lynn
I miss everything from the right click on the tab
Reload
Duplicate (I use that one very frequent)
pin tab
mute tab
close tab
close tab to the right
reopen closed tab (ctrl + shift+T) so handy!
Bookmark all tabs

Thanks Loes... honestly I have never gone into tabs that deeply and I just made this quickly for Luther! I never thought to go deeper...

Thanks Lynne, Just note that opening too many tabs might slow down the internet browser.

You are right about that! This is a function of available RAM in the computer that you are using!

Something else to consider, is that some websites "autoupdate" the whole time you have that page in a tab. This could also slow your machine down, and, or, work the processor harder than needed.

I know that sometimes when I have a lot of tabs open my fans in my machine start really cranking! This uses more energy and produces more heat.

Sincerely,
Tom

Yes very true! I only ever have one tab that is "doing" something like uploading or downloading :) Otherwise it gets quite slow!

Totally agree.. It is not practical at all with just the one tab.. vs. multi browsers and tabs lol Hope you're having a great day

Nice Training Lynne!

I'm sure there are a lot of newbies out there that can use this!

I hope so. I thought it would only be my mom out there that would be struggling with something like this... but Luther said he is struggling so I made him a video. If it helps lots of people it will make me happy!

Lynne, Thanks for a great simple and informative training. Loved this! We can take for granted something we ourselves do routinely. Training doesn't need to be complicated to be incredibly helpful to others!
Multi-tab and browser use was essential in my career using two screens. I agree on a laptop one needs to not go over the top using them...Yet, they're a huge plus for better work flow.
