Google is making it much easier to quickly find an open tab, a bookmark, or a website visited weeks or months ago with the introduction of @ shortcuts in Chrome’s address bar.
In the latest version of the Chrome browser for desktop (v108), Google has added the ability(Opens in a new window) to search for local content using @tabs, @bookmarks, and @history shortcuts. Simply type one of those three shortcuts into the address bar followed by a search term to quickly find an open tab, one of your bookmarks, or a website you’ve visited in the past.
It’s also possible to simply type “@” in the address bar, press the space bar, and Chrome will display clickable options for searching your tabs, bookmarks, or history. Once clicked, you can type in a search term and hopefully find what you’re looking for in just a few seconds.

This is one of those features that should prove instantly useful and becomes second nature to use, especially if you regularly have tens of tabs open, hundreds of bookmarks, and months of browsing history to sift through trying to find something.
