How to Sync Open Tabs Between Desktop and Laptop
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
Chrome does this when you're signed in with sync on: open History (Ctrl+H) and choose "Tabs from other devices" to see and open tabs from your other computers. Tab Manager doesn't sync; its sessions stay on the computer where you saved them. For a set of tabs you want on both, bookmark them with "Bookmark all tabs" (Ctrl+Shift+D), and synced bookmarks appear on the other computer.
