It's easy to accidentally close a tab in Google Chrome and lose a web page you were browsing.

But you can easily restore the tab you just closed or re-open websites you viewed a few days ago in several different ways on Chrome. Here's how.

Chrome keeps the most recently closed tab just one click away. Right-click a blank space on the tab bar at the top of the window and choose "Reopen closed tab."

You can also use a keyboard shortcut to accomplish this: CTRL + Shift + T on a PC or Command + Shift + T on a Mac.
