If you’re like most people, you probably have a ton of tabs open in Chrome at any given time. And while Chrome is generally pretty good about saving your tab data so you can pick up where you left off, there are still times when you may need to restart the browser.
If you’re in a situation where you can’t afford to lose your open tabs, there are a few different ways you can restart Chrome without losing any data.
Restart Chrome Through chrome://restart
This is the most efficient way to restart Chrome, as it doesn’t require you actually to close the browser first. Instead, you can just type chrome://restart into the Chrome address bar and hit Enter. This will immediately close all tabs and restart the browser.
If you have a lot of tabs open, this may take a few seconds. But once Chrome has restarted, you’ll be able to pick up right where you left off. And the best thing is that it works on both the mobile and PC versions of Chrome.
Restart Chrome with Keyboard Shortcuts
The keyboard shortcuts make it easy to restart on both the Windows and Mac versions of Chrome. Here is the process.
First, close the Chrome browser by pressing the “X” on the top-right of the display or go to Menu > Exit. After that, open Chrome again and relaunch the tabs by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+T together.
Conclusion
These are two different methods that you can use to restart your Chrome browser without losing any tabs. The first method is more efficient, while the second one is also quick and easy. Hopefully, one of these methods will work for you the next time you need to restart your browser!
