Google Chrome is the #1 web browser in the world. It offers several powerful features, which contribute to its ever-growing popularity. One such feature is the ability to add start-up pages. However, seeing multiple tabs opening on Chrome start-up can be annoying, and many users have experienced it. So, how can you remove multiple tabs opening on Chrome start-up?

Sometimes, when you launch Google Chrome, two or three tabs open automatically. You may need to close them manually before you can start browsing comfortably.

This usually happens when multiple people, for example, you and a sibling, use the same computer. One of you might have added those start-up pages. Another possibility is that you added them long ago and forgot about it.

If these pages don’t contain useful information and are more of a distraction, it’s best to remove them. Otherwise, each time you open the browser, you’ll spend extra time closing tabs manually.

Here’s a quick guide on how to remove multiple tabs opening on Chrome start-up.

Steps to Remove Multiple Start-Up Tabs on Chrome

1. Open the Google Chrome browser on your computer.
2. Click the three vertical dots (the “kebab” menu) at the top-right corner of the browser.
   • Note: When you hover over this menu, it shows “Customize and control Google Chrome.”
3. From the menu, click Settings to open the settings page.
4. In the search box at the top, type startup, or click On startup from the left sidebar.

Manage Your Start-Up Tabs in Chrome

Under Open a specific page or set of pages, you’ll see the list of web pages that open automatically when Chrome starts.

• Remove any unnecessary pages one by one by clicking the vertical three dots next to each page.
• Then, select Open the New Tab page.
• Close the settings page once you’re done.

That’s it! This is the simplest way to remove multiple tabs opening on Chrome start-up and get a cleaner browsing experience.
