How to Set Google Chrome to Open the Same Tabs Every Time

Ever wish your browser could read your mind?

This is one of my all-time favorite time-saving nerd hacks—the kind that makes your workday smoother before you've even had your first sip of coffee.

When Chrome auto-opens the tabs you use daily (Gmail, Calendar, ChatGPT, your CRM, etc.), you're not just saving clicks—you’re starting with clarity. And confidence. And, dare I say, ✨nerd joy✨.

🛠️ Step-by-Step: How to Set Chrome to Auto-Open Specific Tabs

1. Open all the tabs you want to launch automatically.Example: Gmail, Google Calendar, your CRM, maybe ChatGPT (wink wink).

2. Click the three vertical dots in the top-right corner of your Chrome browser (⋮)

3. Choose “Settings”

4. In the menu on the left, click “On startup”

5. Select: “Open a specific page or set of pages”

6. Choose one of these:

   • Click “Use current pages” to auto-save what you already have open

   • OR click “Add a new page” to type in your favorite URLs manually

7. Close and reopen Chrome to test it out—and boom! Your digital world is ready before you even sip your coffee ☕️

💡 Brooke’s Bonus Tips:

• You can edit or remove tabs anytime under that same “On startup” setting

• Want different tabs for different tasks? Create Chrome profiles (like one for business, one for personal)

• This also works great on Chromebook and Windows machines using Chrome

✨ Final Thought

This isn’t just a “nice to have.” It’s about designing a workflow that works for YOU.

Tech doesn’t have to feel hard—it can feel like magic. Let’s keep making it easier, one click at a time
