Browser tabs tend to multiply, and finding your way back to a specific browser tab can be a challenge. But there's a better way.
This tip gives you a way to quickly find any open tab in just a few keystrokes. It offers a nice bird's-eye view of all your open browser tabs, too.
This works onboth Windows 10 and Windows 11.
Windows Intelligence subscriber Dave N. shares an incredibly useful keyboard shortcut for cutting through the tab clutter:
In either Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, press Ctrl+Shift+A. You'll see a pop-up menu with a list of all your open browser tabs and recently closed browser tabs. Type to search them, and press Enter to go to one.
You can even use this trick if you don't plan on searching: Pressing Ctrl+Shift+A will show you a nice list of all your open tabs across all your open browser windows, so you can see everything at a glance — and even close the tabs you don't need anymore, right from this menu.
In Google Chrome, you can also click that down arrow to the left of the minimize button at the top-right corner of the browser window to view this tab list.
(Unfortunately, this keyboard shortcut doesn't work in Mozilla Firefox, though you can click the down arrow to the left of the minimize button at the top-right corner of your Firefox window to view a list of all your open tabs.)

Why Safari is no longer my browser of choice on MacOS - and what I use instead Safari is a good browser, but there are certain behaviors that make it too frustrating to use as the default browser.
Of the two problems mentioned in that article with Safari, neither one is an issue for me.
If I want to make sure to open a link in a new tab, I simply right-click and choose that option from the contextual menu.
The second problem with Safari telling me a site it using too much memory is rare for me, and I tend to think it has to do with how much RAM is installed on the Mac. The author doesn't indicate how much RAM is in his MacBook.
He is correct though that it should not occur and other browsers don't have the same problem.
I'm glad he didn't recommend Google's Chrome browser (he recommended using Opera). I kicked Chrome to the curb years ago for being both a memory hog and over concerns for my privacy.

More content on YouTube is going to be created at least in part using generative AI.
The video platform announced several new AI-powered tools for creators at its annual Made on YouTubeevent on Thursday. Among the features coming later this year or next are AI-generated photo and video backgrounds, AI video topic suggestions, and music search.
A new feature called Dream Screen will create AI-generated videos and photos that creators can place in the background of their YouTube Shorts. Initially, creators will be able to type in prompts to generate backgrounds; eventually, YouTube says, creators will be able to remix and edit their existing content using AI tools to create something new.
At Made on YouTube, the company demonstrated Dream Screen, generating backgrounds in seconds based on short prompts.
Introducing Copilot in Windows 11, new AI tools, and more
Microsoft Copilot is not yet available to the general public, but it is expected to be released in the fall of 2023. The cost for Copilot in Windows 11 will be$30 per user per month for Microsoft 365 E3, E5, Business Standard, and Business Premium subscribers.
This is a significant premium over the cost of the existing Microsoft 365 plans, but Microsoft believes that the AI-powered features of Copilot are worth the investment. Copilot can help users to be more productive by automating tasks, generating creative content, and providing insights into data.
It is important to note that Copilot is still under development, and it is not yet clear how widely it will be used. However, Microsoft is investing heavily in the product, and it is likely to become a major part of the Windows 11 ecosystem in the coming years.
