How to Reopen a Closed Tab in Google Chrome – How-To Geek

In Google Chrome, you can quickly reopen a recently closed tab using keyboard shortcuts or through the browser’s menu. Here’s how to do it:

Method 1: Using Keyboard Shortcuts

1. Reopen the Last Closed Tab:
   • Press Ctrl + Shift + T (or Cmd + Shift + T on Mac) on your keyboard. This will reopen the most recently closed tab.
2. Reopen Multiple Closed Tabs:
   • To reopen multiple closed tabs one by one, continue pressing Ctrl + Shift + T (or Cmd + Shift + T on Mac) multiple times.
   • Chrome will reopen previously closed tabs in the order they were closed, allowing you to restore your browsing session.

Method 2: Using the Browser’s Menu

1. Right-Click on a Tab Bar:
   • Right-click on an empty area of the tab bar at the top of the Chrome window.
2. Select “Reopen Closed Tab”:
   • In the context menu that appears, click on “Reopen Closed Tab.”
   • Chrome will reopen the most recently closed tab.

Method 3: Using the “Recently Closed” Option

1. Click on the “Menu” Icon:
   • Click on the three-dot “Menu” icon in the top-right corner of the Chrome window.
2. Hover Over “History”:
   • Hover your mouse pointer over the “History” option in the dropdown menu.
3. Select “Recently Closed”:
   • In the sub-menu that appears, click on “Recently Closed.”
   • You will see a list of recently closed tabs.
4. Click on the Desired Tab:
   • Click on the tab you want to reopen from the list, and Chrome will open that closed tab.

These methods allow you to quickly reopen any accidentally closed tabs in Google Chrome. The keyboard shortcut, in particular, is very handy for restoring closed tabs in the order they were closed. This feature can be useful if you accidentally close a tab or want to revisit a page you recently closed without searching for it again.
