There was a time when Google’s Chrome browser was light years ahead of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer is now history and its successor Edge is based on the same technology as Chrome.
Now it seems that Edge is no longer learning from Chrome, but Chrome is learning from Edge. Because a much-loved feature of Edge will soon be supported by Chrome.
Close tabs by double-clicking
Google Chrome will add a feature in a future update that allows users Tabs by double-clicking on it close can. This is particularly useful if you have a large number of tabs open at the same time. Edge introduced a similar feature just a few months ago.
When Chrome has a lot of tabs open, the X to close the tabs only appears on the currently open tab.
So far, you have to select the tab you want to close first, so that X
is displayed to close. Depending on the number of tabs you have open, it may take a while to close all the tabs you want to close. When the feature will come is still uncertain.
Closing tabs faster now
If you already have one close tab without having to click it, you can use a keyboard shortcut in Chrome. ride with yours Mouse cursor over a tab and pushes Strg+W. Alternative you can also do that middle mousekey press your mouse.
This will immediately close the tab you are hovering over. However, for users who don’t want to remember key combinations or who only use a touchpad and no mouse, double-clicking to close is probably more intuitive.
Chrome is known for its high RAM consumption. Having many tabs open at the same time can slow down your PC. With this setting you reduce the RAM consumption by 40 percent.
Chrome cheats on Edge and copies a much-loved feature. Especially users who always have many tabs open benefit from this. Is this Double click feature
of Edge interesting for you or an unnecessary addition? Are you currently using Chrome or another browser? Feel free to write it in the comments.
