This Is the Fastest Way to Change the Layout of Tabs in Your Browser

When you have a lot of tabs open, it can be very annoying to constantly move the cursor from one end of the screen to the other to switch. To make things easier, it is recommended to move related tabs next to each other. Most of us tend to move one tab at a time, which is annoyingly slow. Luckily, there is a better way to get the job done.

How to easily rearrange tabs

The next time you find yourself rearranging tabs in Firefox, Safari, or Chrome (and its many variants like Edge, Vivaldi, and Brave), try this trick: Press and hold the Command key on Mac or Ctrl on Windows, and then click and hold down the Command key on Mac or Ctrl on Windows. Click each tab you want to move. This will select all of these tabs. (You can also Shift -click any two tabs in the browser. This will select all the tabs between them, as well as the two you clicked.)

You can then click and drag these tabs to change their order. Drag them outside the application to open a new browser window containing only the selected tabs.

Another neat trick is to select multiple tabs and then right-click to open additional options, which vary depending on your browser. (Here’s how to right-click on a Mac.) Some options will let you send tabs to other devices, while others will let you pin, bookmark, move, reload, or close those tabs.

It may take some time to figure out how best to fit this trick into your workflow, but once you do, there’s no going back.
