Reopening a Google Chrome Tab that was Just Closed

In my personal typical Chrome usage, I have five or six tabs open. In fact, I used the instructions in this article to configure Chrome to automatically open with five tabs. When you are operating with a lot of open tabs, it is inevitable that you will close the wrong one. If it’s a site or page that you visit frequently, though, you probably don’t think anything of starting a new tab and navigating back to it. But if you were looking at a page that you reached through a string of links and search queries, the page on that closed tab is going to be harder to find. That is the type of situation where the ability to reopen a closed tab in Google Chrome is very helpful. Step 1: Find the new tab rectangle at the top of the window. Step 2: Right-click the new tab rectangle, then click the Reopen closed tab option. The closed tab will reopen in the position in which it was in when it was closed. This tool is actually pretty crazy. I was experimenting with it to write this article, and it goes back pretty deep with your closed tabs. It will also reopen a closed Chrome window, if you had multiple windows open. Not only that, but it will reopen closed tabs across different windows. So if you just closed tab 4 in Chrome window 1, but you use the Reopen closed tab utility in Chrome window 2, it will reopen the closed tab in Chrome window 1.
