I know this may seem like a silly question but it is certainly a minor feature that I would love to use, if it exists. Is there a way to quickly select multiple browser-tabs in Chrome, and move them all to a new browser window?

I know that you can take one tab, and pull it off of the current Chrome session to create new window. Then, you can drag-and-drop other tabs from any Chrome session to the new window.

At times, I'll often have 20+ tabs open in a browser. To cut down on clutter, I'll create a new Chrome window and move 3-5 page to the new session. Currently, this means that I have to drag-drop... drag-drop... drag-drop... and so on.

It would be nice to be able to select the tabs I want to move and just pull them all off at once. Can this be done?

This feature is currently supported like this:

1. Select the first tab
2. Hold Ctrl
3. Click on additional tabs you wish to move.
4. Release Ctrl
5. Drag the tabs to a new window or outside of the current window and a new window will automatically be created.

Use ⌘ instead of Ctrl on Mac.

You can also select tabs by domain/by opener by enabling experimental feature on

chrome://flags/#tab-groups-context-menu

this adds these options on the context menu when right clicking the tab
