If you keep many Google Chrome windows open to organize your tabs, you can go one step further and name each window. Chrome’s built-in naming feature lets you easily remember which window is right for your taskbar or overview screen.

The windows naming feature was introduced in Chrome 90 and is available for Chrome on Windows 10, Mac, and Linux. It is easy to use and can save you from opening the wrong window.
