What is Google Chrome?
Most people probably knew Chrome as a web browser that allows you to search and attain information as quickly as a snap of a finger. It even has a voice option that will surely make your searching experience easier. All you have to do is click the mic option, speak of the topic you are seeking, and everything related to it will appear on your screen.
On top of that, you can even search various topics in one window simultaneously. You just have to create a series of tabs in order to do that.
But what will you do if you accidentally close the said tabs that contain the results of your searches? We will discuss more of this matter in the next part of this article.
Closure of Specific Tab by Mistake
Let’s say, you had to complete your assignment, so you opened the chrome, started searching the topic, and whoops! You suddenly closed that informative tab by mistake. No worries as I have the solution to this possible misfortune.
