Today’s tech is all about choice. There’s the classic debate: iPhone versus Android. It’s about a lot more than blue and green message bubbles. Here are things you can do on Android phones but still can’t do on iPhones.<\/u> <\/p>\n

Too many tabs?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

If you’re in the middle of a project or have traveled far down a rabbit hole of research, it’s understandable that you want to be able to take a break and come back to all your open tabs. <\/p>\n

Having too many open tabs does have a drawback, though. It can slow down your computer by hogging lots of resources. <\/p>\n

Let’s review how to set up your browser to open with your previous tabs or a fresh one. <\/p>\n

Chrome<\/strong> <\/p>\n

You can customize Google Chrome to open with a new tab or reopen the same tabs you were using when you last quit the browser: <\/p>\n

To open Chrome to a new tab: <\/p>\n

Open Chrome and click the three vertical dots<\/strong>then Settings<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Click Ten startups<\/strong> and select Open the New Tab page<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

To continue Chrome where you left off: <\/p>\n

Open Chrome and click the three vertical dots<\/strong>then Settings<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Click Ten startups<\/strong> and select Continue where you left off<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Firefox<\/strong> <\/p>\n
