How to name browser windows in Microsoft Edge

Do you often have multiple tabs open and struggle to find the one you need? Microsoft Edge offers a solution to this problem by allowing you to name your browser windows. This feature is especially useful for those who work with multiple tabs and windows simultaneously.

Why name windows in your browser?

Managing multiple tabs and windows can be challenging, especially if you are working on a project that requires you to have several tabs open at once. This is where the Microsoft Edge window naming feature comes in handy. It allows you to name your windows according to the content that you have open in them. This way, you can quickly identify which window you need to access and avoid wasting time searching for the right one.

How to rename new windows

After launching Microsoft Edge, here’s how to name a browser tab:

  • Select the + button located on the top left corner of the browser to open a new window.
  • Right-click on the new window and select Name window from the drop-down menu.
  • In the text box that appears, add a name for the window. Use a name that describes in a few words what the page is about—that way you can stay organized if you have multiple tabs open.
  • Select Save to save the name of the window.
  • To open a named window, select the Window icon on the top right corner of the browser and select the named window that you want to open.

Now you can easily switch between windows and tabs with your personalized browser names. You can even move tabs from one named window to another, and the name of the window will remain the same.

Naming browser windows in Microsoft Edge is one of the many simple and effective productivity features that help keep your work organized and easily accessible. By using this feature, you can manage multiple tasks simultaneously without getting lost in a sea of tabs and windows. Try Microsoft Edge today and enjoy just one aspect of its versatility while discovering advanced security, shopping, and gaming features.
