    Hey all. I have quite a bit of chrome windows that open when i click on chrome. The reason is because i set the option open the last windows where chrome closed. Thus i would have say 10 chrome windows opened... but many of these windows... i have 25 or more tabs etc.


    Apparently i could do a bookmaker of multiple tabs and 1 click could open it. Is this true? For example let say i have 2 or 3 chrome windows where each one of these have 25+ tabs on each one. Is there a way where my computer starts and then i click on chrome, i have maybe 7 chrome windows show up and say the ones where there are 25 tabs...i could easily open each of these chrome windows with 1 button? Thus i click one button and then the chrome window which has 25 tabs open. Then i do this with the other one etc. And then the last one but only when i need it. That way i won't have so many chrome tabs on my computer where it uses up most of the memory. Can someone tell me if i can do this and how to do this exactly?


    Also another question. Is there a way where say you have 10 chrome windows showing. You want to move the 3rd chrome tab all the way to the first one? Thus move a chrome window to the left or right? Because i generally want the first few chrome windows to be certain ones.

    Download and install the Chrome extension:

    Tabs Outliner:
    https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabs-outliner/eggkanocgddhmamlbiijnphhppkpkmkl?hl=en

    And spend some time getting to know it and how to use it.

    The paid version is even better.

    It's the best Chrome session management system there is and protects against losing tabs in crashes as well as preserving windows and tabs as well as their parent/child tree structure. Nothing else comes close in terms of usability and features.

    The learning curve isn't the steepest but it does require some retraining in how you use Chrome. I would highly recommend reading the help documentation and watching the various YouTube video examples of how to use certain features.

    With a little effort it can address all of your desired requests you mentioned.

    Are you talking about the Browser Chrome... There is no Chrome Windows 10 that exist. So this needs to be update to properly identify what were talking about.

    I think he is talking about chrome GUI "windows", not windows OS.

    Check this link.
    You can setup individual chrome shortcuts to auto open specified tabs.
    Pinning tabs is also good to save on space.
    https://lifehacker.com/5422014/make-google-chrome-open-with-permanently-pinned-tabs

    1. You can drag tabs left or right to order them how you want. You can also drag a tab off a window to another window, or onto the desktop to make it its own window.
    2. See link above about pinning to order tabs how you want them.

    Thanks for the last two links. The first one is very old however and the comments seem to go back and forth if it still works the way the article suggests. Just a heads up in case someone tries using the article's guide without paying attention to the comments left by users circa 2010 lol.
