Windows 10: Microsoft details its new tab management feature for Chrome

In January, Microsoft released the first Chromium-based version of Edge on Windows 10, Windows 7 and macOS. Since Edge is now based on Chromium, Microsoft has been actively contributing to the Chromium.

Earlier this week, new details emerged about how Microsoft is collaborating with rival Google on a new feature for Chromium-based browsers like Chrome. New tab-management feature, which is being developed by the Windows giant, demonstrates the power of open-source software.

After Google engineer’s friendly request, Microsoft said it will port Chromium Edge-exclusive feature to Chromium, which will benefit Chrome and other browsers.

The new tab management feature will allow users to transfer a group of tabs from one window to another. This feature already exists in Microsoft Edge and it’s now headed to Chrome after Google liked the idea.



As you can see in the above screenshot, you can right-click on a single tab and send it to a new browser window. It’s useful if you want to organize your browsing activities across multiple windows.

In a new patch, which is under review, Microsoft engineer shared more details of the tab management feature:

“The option replaces the “Move tab to new window” entry if there is at least one other window that can be moved to. Inside the submenu, there is an option to create a new window or to choose any existing windows of the same profile,” the patch reads.

If there are multiple tabs in a window, the context menu will display “PAGE_TITLE and x more pages” to fit them within an allotted pixel width.

“First the length of the “x more tabs” extension is calculated, and the title is elided based on how much width is left from the default 400 pixels. In addition, the title is always guaranteed at least a few characters if the extension is extremely long,” Microsoft noted.

It’s very likely that the feature will land in Chrome Canary in a week before Google implements the change in Chrome stable channel.

Google Chrome Crahses and suspended in task manager

Hi GSsswuw8,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Could you please help me with the below information:

1. Do you have any antivirus installed on the computer?
   
2. Are you aware of making any changes to the computer or browser prior to the issue?
   

This issue is because of profile data corruption on google chrome or because of cookies, extensions, plugins and History. I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below to resolve this issue.

Method 1: Rename Google chrome file.


Before proceeding I would suggest you end all the task related to Google Chrome from task manager.

Step 1: Rename Chrome User Data file.

1. Press Windows and
   E key together on your Keyboard.
2. Navigate to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome.
   
3. Search for User data folder. Rename this folder to UserData.old
4. Open the chrome now and check if it is working.
   

Note:
The new user data folder will be created automatically, but
new profile will not have any of your previous data in it. To access the data back, try signing out and signing in back to the application. Or you have to manually copy the data from old profile.

Step 2: Copy the previous data to New Profile.


I would suggest you end all the task related to Google Chrome from task manager.
Then follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows and
   E key together on your Keyboard.
2. Navigate to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\UserData.old\Default.
   
3. Open a new tab and navigate to: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default. (Make sure this is the new user data folder)
   
4. Now copy the file one by one, once the copy is done. In-between Reopen Chrome browser and check if there is issue same issue.
   
5. If the issue reoccurs, then the culprit is one of the file copied above.
   

Method 2:
Troubleshoot on google chrome.

Note: The Uninstall and Reinstall option might reset security settings or privacy settings that you added, this will also clear the history, favorites, cookies and password. We recommend
that you note these sites and settings before you use the Reset on chrome.

I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned in the article on
Fix Chrome if it crashes or won't open.


Hope it helps.

problem uninstalling google chrome

Hi,

Since you already uninstalled Google Chrome using the Programs and Features, Google notifications may still be running in the background processes. We suggest that you follow these steps on how to end the Google Chrome process:

• On your keyboard, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
• Select Task Manager.
• Under Processes, locate Google Notifications or Google Chrome.
• Right click on them and select End Task.
• Double check under Programs and Features if Google Chrome is completely gone.

Let us know if these steps worked.
