Notes about Google Chrome.
Disable swipe reload
Chrome will now refresh the page if you drag your finger down the screen, which I find annoying because it does it when I try to wipe of a smudge! To disable the so-called “pull to refresh” do the following:
- Open chrome://flags.
- Enable ‘Disable the pull-to-refresh effect’.
Reference: Disabling android’s chrome pull-down-to-refresh feature
Restoring tabs
To restore the last closed tab:
ctrl-shift-t
If you keep pressing this it will continue opening previous tabs, even restoring windows.
Or go to Recent Tabs and you’ll see a list of closed tabs.
Restore window
To restore a closed window, either do ctrl-shift-t
to open previously closed tabs until the window appears, or go to Recent Tabs (or History -> Recently Closed) and you’ll see ‘X Tabs’ listed for each window closed, where X is the number of tabs in the window.
