How to Use Chrome Like a Pro Power User
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
A few habits make the biggest difference. Learn the shortcuts: Ctrl+L for the address bar, Ctrl+Shift+A to search tabs, Ctrl+Shift+T to reopen a closed tab and Ctrl+1 to Ctrl+8 to jump to a tab. Use tab groups and separate profiles for separate work, and set up site search shortcuts in Settings > Search engine so you can search a site straight from the address bar. Tab Manager adds automatic sleeping for idle tabs, a search across windows and named sessions.
