How to Keep Multiple Browser Tabs Open Simultaneously: A Comprehensive Guide

When multitasking with a computer, it's essential to be able to keep multiple tabs open without them closing when you switch between them. This guide explores effective methods for managing multiple tabs, including popular web browsers and extensions that simplify the process.

Introduction to Tabbed Browsing

Most modern web browsers support tabbed browsing, which allows you to open and manage several web pages at the same time. Popular choices include Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari. These browsers enable you to switch between tabs easily by clicking on the desired tab.

Methods for Keeping Multiple Browser Tabs Open

Here are two methods to help you keep two or more tabs open simultaneously.

Method 1: Docking Tabs to the Left and Right Sides of the Screen

Open 2 tabs in your web browser. Click on the first tab you want to move, then press the Windows key left arrow to dock it to the left side of the screen. Click on the second tab and press the Windows key right arrow to dock it to the right side of the screen.

You can also do this in reverse order. For example, you can press Windows key right instead of left, and vice versa for the second step.

Method 2: Using an Extension to Dock Tabs

Go to the Chrome Web Store. Search for and install the extension Dualless for Google Chrome. After installation, click on the extension icon to configure the tabs to be side by side.

Note: You can open more than two tabs at the same time with ease. For example, let's open WhatsApp and Quora tabs on your browser.

Illustration: Opening Additional Tabs

To open a new tab, click on the ' ' sign just after the Quora tab. A new tab will open. Here is an example of what it looks like:

Additional Considerations

Your question wasn't entirely clear. Do you mean to open two app windows or two monitor screens at the same time? It would also help if you specified what type of computer you have, such as a Mac or PC. For instance, some users open three screens at once, but for an informed answer, you need to provide more context.

Virtual Desktops and Dual Screens

Either you have virtual desktop enabled or you have two physical screens and are using both of them. If you are referring to tabbing, it is just the usual multitasking that everyone does.
