To reopen closed tabs in your web browser, here are the most common and effective methods:
Keyboard Shortcut
- Press Ctrl + Shift + T (Windows/Linux) or Command + Shift + T (Mac) to reopen the last closed tab. Pressing this shortcut repeatedly will reopen previously closed tabs in the order they were closed
Right-Click on Tab Bar
- Right-click on the empty area of the tab bar and select "Reopen closed tab" or similar option. This will restore the most recently closed tab
Browser History
- Click the menu icon (three dots) in the top-right corner of your browser.
- Select History.
- Under Recently closed or similar, you can see and reopen individual tabs or entire windows you closed recently
Restore Previous Session Automatically
- In Chrome: Go to Settings > On startup and select Continue where you left off to reopen all tabs from your last session automatically when you start the browser
- In Edge: Go to Settings > Start, home, and new tabs > When Edge starts and choose Open tabs from previous session to restore tabs after a restart or closing
Bookmark All Tabs (Optional)
- To avoid losing tabs, you can bookmark all open tabs by right-clicking on a tab, selecting Bookmark All Tabs , and saving them in a folder for easy reopening later
These methods work across major browsers like Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge and help you quickly recover accidentally closed tabs or entire browsing sessions
