TABS ARE INCREDIBLY handy to use but sometimes you can have so many open, you forget what exactly you had open.
If you have to close your browser and restart, you would usually have to go by memory or search your history to find those tabs again.
Instead of starting afresh and trying to find those pages in your history, you can set your browser so that it starts exactly where you left off. All modern browsers allow this so here’s how to do it for each one.
(On a related note, pressing Ctrl + Shift + T reopens the last tab you’ve closed. Always handy to know).
Chrome
On Chrome, you need to go into menu (the three horizontal lines at the top right-hand corner) and scroll down to settings.
Here you will see the second entry ‘On Startup’ where you’ll see three options: start on new tab, resume previous session and open up specific pages. Choosing the middle will ensure that any tabs you had opened the last time you used Chrome will load up when you return.
Firefox
Similar to Chrome, click on the menu icon at the top right-hand corner and select options. In the section which says Startup, you will see the option When Firefox Starts. Click on the dropdown menu and select Show my windows and tabs from last time.
Opera
Unlike other browsers, Opera places its menu at the top left-hand corner of the screen. Click on it and scroll down to settings. The On Startup option will be the second entry on the list.
Safari
Slightly different if you’re on Mac, but by clicking on Safari at the top left-hand corner and selecting Preferences, you will see the option ‘Safari opens with’. Click on that and change it to All windows from last session.
Microsoft Edge
The Windows 10 browser started off lightweight but introduced this feature as part of a later update. If you go into menu (three dots) and click on settings, you will see the option listed underneath previous pages.
Internet Explorer
Click on settings at the top right-hand corner and select Internet Options. Under the general tab, go to the Startup section and select ‘Start with tabs from the last session’.

Best passwords take your home town or similar word that is at least 6 digits long and substitute some of the letters for similar looking figures or grammatical symbols. ie. Dublin town = D¿8|!■ 70₩#
best password is not to have anything that is important stored electronically -
Next best is 1Password.
CCLEANER ?
One of the great things about learning to write code is that you realise that there is no such thing as a personal password …..
This article was about chrome, Firefox, Safari and other stuff but what about iPad?
Yes, I would like to know about the iPad as I received an iPad for a present some while back. I have read about various attacks on information sites and on Apple too.
I know no-one is keen to say they are not safe but I think a good dose of reality for both firms and users may help with taking measures regularly.
I am always very grateful for advice on here and do my best to follow,up regularly.
That’s Numberwang!
have your say
