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.

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