Quick Tips
- Turning off the Continue Where You Left Off setting effectively resolves this problem.
- You should also ensure Chrome is not running in the background, as this is a primary cause of the problem.
- Closing all tabs and opening a new tab before closing Chrome prevents previous tabs from re-opening, especially on Android.
Basic Fixes:
- Disable third-party tools: Some third-party tools can interfere with Chrome tabs. Google Hangouts is one example, and it would be wise to disable or remove it.
- Reset or reinstall Chrome: You may reset or reinstall the browser as a last resort, but you must not know that this can lead to data or configuration loss.
Fix 1: Disable Continue Where You Left Off
Chrome has a built-in option that continues your previous browsing session exactly from where you left it. You may have accidentally turned this feature on, and while that’s highly unlikely, let’s get it out of the way before proceeding to other fixes.
Step 1: Launch the Chrome browser.
Step 2: Enter the path below in the address bar and hit Enter.
chrome://settings/onStartup
Step 3: If you see the option labeled Continue Where You Left Off enabled, you’ve identified the cause of the problem. To resolve the issue, enable Open the New Tab Page.
Fix 2: Disable Homepage in Chrome Mobile
Disabling the homepage button in Chrome Mobile effectively hides the homepage functionality. This can be handy when old tabs keep opening. Follow the steps below.
Step 1: Launch the Chrome browser on your Android device.
Step 2: Tap the three dots at the top right corner > tap Settings.
Step 3: Scroll down within the Settings menu until you find the Advanced section, then tap on Homepage, and toggle off the option.
Fix 3: Disable Chrome in the Background
Chrome doesn’t fully shut down when you exit it. You may have noticed this since you still receive notifications on your system tray from websites and extensions even when Chrome appears closed. This functionality may stop old tabs from reloading automatically at startup.
Step 1: Launch the Chrome browser.
Step 2: Enter the path below in the address bar and hit Enter.
chrome://settings/system
Step 3: Turn off the toggle for Continue Running Background Apps When Google Chrome is Closed.
Restart Chrome. If the issue was caused by Chrome running in the background, older tabs will not open at startup.
