Reopen a tab you closed
Bring back a page you closed by accident, without finding it all over again.
Closing a tab does not throw the page away. The browser sets aside what you just closed, and can put the last one back.
The list is called Recently closed, and it lives inside History. On a keyboard, hold Ctrl and press Shift and T.
Key points
- Closing a tab does not delete the page
- History holds what you just closed, ready to reopen
What to remember
- The browser keeps what you closed.
- A closed tab is put aside, not thrown out.
Try this
Open a page on your own machine, close its tab, then open History and put it back.
