Browsing the Internet can be done for a variety of reasons, be it work, entertainment, educational purposes, and more. Because of that, it is easy to find yourself having multiple tabs open.

However, sometimes you barely manage to find a website, and if you were to leave it, you’d have no idea how to get fast to it again.

That is probably the worst moment for you accidentally close the tab or worse, close the entire browser.

This is something that has most likely happened to everyone at least once. That is why we’ve created a step-by-step guide that will show you how to re-open closed tabs in some of the most popular browsers out there.

How do I reopen closed tabs in a browser?

1. Opera

Opera is particularly good as a web browser for those that frequently find themselves with multiple tabs opened at a time, especially during work.

This is thanks to the web browser’s advanced tab management capabilities which allow you to group them up into categories. More so, they are grouped ip in a way that makes access to them a lot easier.

Launch Opera

Open a tab, and then close it

Right-click on a tab

Select Reopen last closed tab

Additionally, you can also try this key combination:

Ctrl + Shift + T

One neat trick you should keep in mind is that repeatedly pressing Ctrl+Shift+T will open previously closed tabs in the order they were closed. This applies to all of the browsers listed above.
