Activate tab preview section in Carousel

November 30, 2020 by whyisdown Leave a Comment

Nowadays, practically all web browsers incorporate the possibility of previewing some of the content of the open webs in the tabs of your web browser by simply hovering the mouse cursor over these tabs. Chrome is one of the browsers that has been allowing access to this function for some time, however now it has just given this function a twist and now you can access a much more complete preview menu of open tabs in your browser.

Now Chrome offers its users the possibility of enabling a hidden bar at the top of the browser in which we will have access to the preview of all open tabs. This preview is done in a carousel and offers more information about the open Webs in each Chrome tab. However, this function is in the experimental phase so we will need to activate it from Flags.

When we activate the new carousel of tab previews (WebUI Tab Strip) of Google Chrome, it will replace the current and traditional view of tabs. The typical open tab bar will be replaced by a button in the form of a tab (similar to the one Chrome offers in its mobile apps) that will be located on the Chrome toolbar.

So if you click the tab button, the preview bar for the tab will be displayed. Chrome will show thumbnail previews of all running tabs and from this view, you will have to click on the specific thumbnail to access the tab associated with it.

Important note: Keep in mind that we activate this function, we will automatically deactivate the Maximize / Restore button present in the Chrome title bar. This means that to maximize or restore the Chrome browser window, we will have to double click on the title bar of the window.

At the moment all we can do is activate or deactivate the WebUI Tab Strip in Chrome since at the moment you cannot customize or configure any of the aspects of this new function.

That said, here is how to activate the new and hidden WebUI Tab Strip preview section of Google Chrome:
