Today’s featured tech tip….
How to place any open browser tab in its own separate window
Do you ever have several browser tabs open at the same time and find yourself switching back to one certain tab a lot more than any of the other tabs?
If so, it’s often more efficient to simply separate that tab from the others and place it in its own window.
I do that a lot, and it really makes it a lot easier to concentrate on the contents of that one tab while (mostly) ignoring the others.
If you’d like to give it a try, it’s quite easy to do…
1 – Simply click on the tab you want to place in it’s own window and drag it either left or right towards the edge of the screen.
2 – Release the mouse button after you see the tab morph into a separate window.
That’s all there is to it. Give it a try…
