Cool Chrome Trick : Open New Tab from Addressbar

by Dinu

Yes, I would call this trick “CooL” .. It really is.

It works like this, suppose you have google.com open on a tab, and you want to open yahoo.com on another tab, what you usually do is, open a new tab by clicking the ‘+’ icon,  and type in the address, and hit enter.  Right ?

Instead of this, what if you could type in yahoo.com on the current tab ( where you have google.com open ) hit ALT and Enter key together, and open it on a different tab ? In other words, you are on a tab, you enter a different address or a search keyword on the addressbar, and you get it open in a new tab.

Like it ? I did !  Try it, you will definitely like it !!

Now, here is a visual guide to it, to help you understand this better.  Here is how it looked like before the update.
