OnePlus: Add a New Tab in the Chrome Browser

Switching between product pages on different shopping sites usually means losing the page you were just looking at. On OnePlus phones running the Chrome app, you don't have to close anything to compare prices or articles side by side. A quick tap opens a fresh tab while every other page stays loaded in the background.

Add a New Tab in Chrome auf OnePlus

When you research prices across several online shops, closing and reopening pages wastes time and often loses your place. Chrome on OnePlus phones lets you keep multiple pages open at once through separate tabs, so each site stays loaded and ready in the background.

The tab overview is the central control point. It shows a small counter on the toolbar indicating how many tabs are currently open, and tapping it reveals thumbnails of every active page.

How to add a new tab

Open the Chrome app ➔ tap on Tabs ➔ tap on Add. A blank page or your default start screen appears immediately, while the previous tab stays exactly where you left it.

This works the same way whether you are logged into an account or browsing without one. The only limitation is device memory: on older or heavily loaded devices, having a very large number of tabs open can slow page reloading, since Chrome may unload background tabs to save RAM.

If you only need a page temporarily and don't want it saved in your browsing history, an Incognito tab is the better option instead of a regular new tab.

Frequently asked questions

Chrome does not enforce a strict tab limit, but very high numbers can slow the browser on devices with limited RAM. If pages reload every time you switch tabs, closing unused ones through the Tabs overview usually restores normal speed.
