On any other browser, searching for a specific tab can be a hassle as you typically have to click through them one by one, but thanks to a relatively new search feature in Chrome, Google's browser makes it a cinch.

You can search for an open tab by following these steps. Note that this function works on Chrome for Mac, PC, iPhone, iPad, and Android.

  1. While viewing any open tab in Chrome, click the downward facing arrow in the top-right corner of the browser window.
