What I am about to tell you is not exclusive to Google ChromeOn the contrary, it happens with all web browsers, and moreover, it is not something we should blame them, but bad habits common to many users. And yes, of course, I’m in that group, which is a big one from what I know. I am talking, you may have already imagined, about the impossibility that we regularly encounter when closing browser tabs.

Although there are different types of tools to preserve the website we are interested in, In many cases, we leave the cards open in which we approached them to see them a little later. And I know there are people who do this, but it’s also not as common as one would like, and that the habit of leaving many tabs open is common in the desktop versions, but it increases substantially if we’re talking about the desktop version Android and iOS.

This is due at least in part to the fact that The dynamics of using a browser on a PC and a smartphone are different, because in addition, open cards are not as visible on mobile as on PC. And that, if we do not get into the habit of regularly checking the ones we have open in the browser, it can end up that when we enter the section in which they are displayed, we find dozens of them. I have personally seen cases where we are talking about more than a hundred.

Google is aware of this, and as we read in the Windows Report, Chrome is testing an automatic tab archiving feature. As you might have imagined, its operation is as simple as it is practical, and open tabs will no longer be displayed in the browser view, making the exploration of this section cleaner. And in case you’re wondering, yes, this feature will allow the user to adjust how long a card should remain inactive before being archived.

More importantly, we are talking about archiving, that is, the cards will not be closed, or at least not completely closed, and therefore It will be possible to restore them from the section allowed for this purpose. However, we don’t know if their cached version will be stored in the device memory. And it’s revealed that it’s initially being tested on the Android version of Chrome, though it’s expected to make its way to iOS later, and it wouldn’t hurt if it ends up making its way to PC as well. , for those of us a bit of a disaster on all existing platforms.
