\nThis tip works in Firefox, MS Edge, Chrome, Opera, and most other modern browsers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
If you\u2019re like us, you visit a lot of websites while you\u2019re browsing the Web. And sometimes you like to go back and forth between the sites you\u2019ve visited. But after a while, you have so many tabs open at the top of your browser you can\u2019t tell which page is which.<\/span><\/p>\n Did you know that pinning tabs is super easy and saves a ton of real estate in your browser?\u00a0 When you pin a tab, it reduces the size of the tab yet makes it easy to tell what each tab is. You can open a lot of tabs in a fraction of the space compared to using full-sized tabs.<\/span><\/p>\n The next time you find yourself browsing the Web with a ton of browser tabs open, this tip will save you space and time. And you\u2019ll be glad to know that pinning tabs works virtually the same in most modern browsers.<\/span><\/p>\n The screenshot below was taken in Firefox, but pinning tabs works the same in Chrome, Edge, and other modern browsers. You can see I have nine tabs open, but eight of them are pinned.<\/span><\/p>\n Look how much space all those open tabs (above) would take if they were not pinned.<\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019re worried you won\u2019t be able to tell what page is what if the tabs are pinned, don\u2019t worry. It\u2019s easy. Just hover over the pinned tab and you\u2019ll get a full description of the pinned page. If you want to open the page, just left-click the pinned tab.<\/span><\/p>\n OK. So how hard is it to pin a tab? It\u2019s as easy as pie and a whole lot easier than the other Pi! Right-click the tab you want to pin and choose \u201cPin Tab\u201d from the dropdown menu that appears when you right-click a tab.<\/span><\/p>\n Want to pin more than one tab? No problem. Hold down the CTRL key while you right-click all the tabs you want to pin. In the screenshot below, I pinned all nine open tabs at one time. See?<\/span><\/p>\n That saved a lot of space, didn\u2019t it? Yes, it did!<\/span><\/p>\n And what if you don\u2019t want a tab pinned anymore? Just right-click on the pinned tab and choose \u201cUnpin Tab\u201d from the dropdown. It’s elementary, dear Watson.<\/span><\/p>\n And if you want to unpin multiple tabs, hold down the CTRL key, right-click on all the tabs you want to unpin and select \u201cUnpin Tabs\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n And finally, feast your eyes upon Microsoft Edge. And, my friends, the screenshot below was taken using the newest version of MS Edge in Windows 11.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n As you can see it works the same way in Edge as it does in Firefox and Chrome. Isn\u2019t it nice they all get along when it comes to pinning tabs?<\/span><\/p>\n Once you pin a tab, the pinned tab works just like any full-size tab. Left-click it to open the page, right-click and choose \u201cClose tab\u201d if you want to close the tab without opening the page. Or if you want to close multiple pinned tabs just hold down the CTRL key, right-click each tab you want to close, and choose \u201cClose tabs\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n Here\u2019s a bonus tip.\u00a0 Did you know that you can select multiple tabs and close them all using the CTRL+W shortcut?<\/span><\/p>\n Wait!
