Using the “Close Other Tabs” Option in Google Chrome

Until recently I had not had much of a reason to ever right-click a tab in Google Chrome. I always thought that these tabs only served a very basic function, so I didn’t consider the possibility that they might be hiding some other interesting commands. One interesting feature contained on the tab right-click menu is the ability to reopen a closed tab. But you can read below to learn how to close all of the other tabs in Google Chrome. Step 1: Open the Chrome browser window containing the other tabs that you want to close. Step 2: Right-click the tab you want to keep open. Step 3: Click the Close other tabs option. Chrome will then close every other tab that is open in that Google Chrome window. If you have another Google Chrome window open, it will not close any of the tabs in that window. If you want to reopen any of the tabs that you just closed, you can right-click the open tab, then click the Reopen closed tab option.
