How do I get back a browser tab I closed by accident?

You'll be able to: Instantly restore accidentally closed browser tabs and lost web pages

The steps

1. 1

   Open the web browser where you were just working (such as Chrome, Edge, or Firefox). The browser window is active in front of you.

2. 2

   Hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys together, then press the letter T. The tab you just closed immediately pops back open in the exact position it was in before, with your page loaded.

   How does Ctrl + Shift + T work?

   Web browsers keep a recent memory list of closed pages. Just as Ctrl+T opens a new empty tab, adding Shift tells the browser to undo your last tab closure.

3. 3

   If you closed multiple tabs in a row by mistake, press Ctrl+Shift+T repeatedly. Each tap reopens the next previously closed tab in reverse chronological order.
