Leaving tabs open in the browser for a long time can lead to confusion and clutter, making it difficult to determine which ones are no longer needed. Google has addressed this issue with a new feature in Chrome, currently in the testing phase, designed to simplify tab management.
The feature was discovered by a tester under the nickname Leopeva64 in the Chrome Canary build. It allows users to view and close tabs that have been inactive for a week or more. Users can choose which tabs to close or use the “clear all” button for bulk deletion.
Tabs that have been inactive for a long time are marked as “expired.” The assumption is that if the user has not returned to a tab within a week, there is likely no need to keep it open. However, if a tab is still important, it can be left alone, with only the truly unnecessary ones being closed.
Demonstration of the new feature
According to sources, the feature has been in development for some time, but the exact release date for the stable version of Chrome remains unknown.
