When you have dozens of tabs open in a Safari window, it becomes difficult to find a specific tab in the tab bar. Here’s how to quickly search open tabs within the current window in Safari on Mac.
Searching Tabs Using “Tab Overview”
Safari’s Tab Overview screen (similar to the tab switcher on iPhone and iPad) includes a built-in feature that lets you search through all the open tabs in the current window. The only drawback is that if you have multiple Safari windows open, you’ll have to perform this action in each window.

If you have dozens of tabs open in Safari on iPhone or iPad and need to clear them out quickly, it can be tedious to “X” them out one at a time. Luckily, there are two ways to close all your Safari tabs at once, and they also work in Private Browsing mode. Here’s how.
First, open “Safari” on your iPhone or iPad. While on any page, locate the tab switcher button, which looks like two overlapping squares. On the iPad, you’ll find it in the upper-right corner of the screen.

Swipe Down to Close Tabs, Reload, and Open Tabs
Chrome has a convenient shortcut for quickly closing the current tab, reloading the open web page, or opening a new tab. Just touch your screen and swipe downward with your finger. By default, the “Reload” shortcut in the center of the screen will be focused. (If you’re in the middle of a web page, you’ll have to scroll back up to the top of the page first.)
To close the tab, move your finger to the right to focus “Close Tab.” To open a new tab, move your finger to the left to focus “Open Tab.” Release your finger to trigger the selected action.
