No matter whether its Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome, users can maximize their productivity through powerful tab management capabilities. In this blog post, we will explore how you can leverage Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome tabs to boost your efficiency and stay organized.
Tab Groups for Enhanced Organization
One of the standout features of Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome is the ability to create tab groups. This feature allows you to group related tabs together, enabling you to focus on specific tasks and declutter your workspace. To create a tab group, simply right-click on any open tab, select “Add to new group,” and choose a color to represent the group. You can customize each group according to your preferences, such as work-related tabs, personal tabs, or tabs for a specific project. With tab groups, finding and switching between tabs becomes effortless, saving you valuable time and mental effort.
Vertical Tabs for Optimal Space Management
Another valuable feature of Microsoft Edge is the vertical tabs option. Traditionally, tabs are aligned horizontally, occupying a significant portion of your browser’s horizontal space. However, with vertical tabs, you can move your tab bar to the left side of the browser window. This vertical arrangement allows you to view more tab titles at a glance and optimizes your screen real estate. To access vertical tabs, simply click on the vertical arrow icon on the left side of your tab bar, or use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+X. Vertical tabs are particularly useful for those who frequently work with numerous tabs simultaneously.
Quick Controls for Efficient Tab Navigation
Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome offers several quick controls to enhance your tab navigation experience. For instance, you can use the “Ctrl+Tab” shortcut to cycle through your opened tabs, or “Ctrl+Shift+Tab” to navigate in reverse order. Additionally, right-clicking on the Forward and Back buttons in the browser toolbar provides a drop-down menu featuring a list of recently visited pages, enabling you to quickly revisit previously accessed content. These simple shortcuts and navigation tools can significantly streamline your browsing experience and save you from unnecessary clicks and searching.
Collections to Consolidate Your Research
If you frequently conduct online research or gather information from various sources, Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome’s Collections feature is a game-changer. Collections allow you to consolidate related content, including text, images, links, and notes, into a single organized space. You can create different collections for different projects, making it easy to revisit and share your findings. Whether you are planning a trip, working on a report, or researching a hobby, Collections simplify the process of organizing and accessing your research.
In today’s fast-paced digital world, it is crucial to leverage the tools at your disposal to maximize productivity. With powerful tab management features, including tab groups, vertical tabs, quick controls, and collections, you can streamline your browsing experience, stay organized, and accomplish your tasks more efficiently. Take advantage of these productivity-boosting features, and unlock the full potential of your web browsing experience!

Worked with a client lately to help them Automate a workflow, but you may be wondering what does that even mean. Let me explain. We all have tasks in our workday that are repetitive and consume little bite size pieces of our time. Depending on the steps needed to accomplish these tasks, they can be “delegated” to a computer process via scripting aka we automate them. In the case of the client we helped, they received emails from an eFax service which included attachments. These attachments had to be manually saved into a shared folder for the rest of the staff to access as needed. This process probably took about 30 to 60 seconds each, but multiply this by the 30+ faxes they received each day you have 15 to 30 minutes of wasted time each day (65-130 hours per year). This does not take into account the time taken to stop doing one thing, accomplish this task, and restart the original thing they were doing.
Automate to Freedom
What if we could automate this little task and keep them employee free to do other more important things? We did. They customer uses Office 365 which includes a service called Power Automate. We scripted this tool to look at incoming messages, find ones from the eFax vendor, strip out the attachment, and save it to a SharePoint folder. This can then be shared with other employees and even synced via OneDrive to their Desktops for viewing, etc. That is just the tip of the iceberg as there is so much more that can be done with this technology.

Every modern business has one thing in common – the internet.
Businesses are using computers, smart phones, tablets, etc. to connect to the internet for research, shopping, advertising, or any number of things. With a connection to the internet comes the need for routers, switches, wireless, and other network hardware to distribute internet connectivity across the company. There are malicious people on the internet that are setting traps and trying to break into companies which necessitate the use of tools like antivirus, internet filtering, spam filtering, and other protective measures. There are also people who work from their homes and need to have a way of tunneling safely into the network to use the resources there.
All of this has to be managed by someone in the company or you can contract with a managed IT service provider.
If your company needs help managing all the things connected to your internet, then contact us for assistance.
And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. As the Scriptures say,
“They share freely and give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever.”
For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. - 2 Corinthians 9:8-10
