The tab keys pay off first

Ctrl+Shift+T (Cmd+Shift+T on a Mac) brings back the tab you just closed, and keeps going back through closed tabs each time you press it. Ctrl+1 to Ctrl+8 jump to a tab by its position, and Ctrl+9 always goes to the last tab, however many are open.

Mac keyboards have no PgUp or PgDn keys, so the move-tab shortcuts need Fn with the arrow keys there. Other Chromium browsers such as Edge and Brave share many of these keys but add and change some of their own.

Printing and saving

Print gives you a two-column sheet without the rest of the site; pick Save as PDF in the print dialog to keep a copy. Filter first to print only what you need, or download the sheet as a Markdown table for your notes.

Questions

How do I reopen a tab I closed by mistake?

Press Ctrl+Shift+T on Windows and Linux or Cmd+Shift+T on a Mac. Chrome reopens closed tabs in the reverse order you closed them, and if the last thing you closed was a window, it brings the whole window back.

What is the difference between a reload and a hard reload?

F5 or Ctrl+R reloads the page and may reuse files Chrome has cached. Shift+F5 or Ctrl+Shift+R (Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac) reloads while ignoring cached content, which helps when a page you just changed still looks old.

How do I open Chrome's developer tools?

Press F12 or Ctrl+Shift+J on Windows and Linux, or Cmd+Option+I on a Mac. Cmd+Option+J on a Mac opens the JavaScript Console directly.
