Also available for Google Chrome, you can enable the Tab preview for each Tab in the task bar. We will show you how to do it.

Chrome: Tab preview in task bar check

You can activate this function via a small comment in the shortcut of the browser. In the Test, the instructions worked, but not under Windows 8.
  1. Locate the Google Chrome shortcut on your Desktop. The link in the task bar is not needed here.
  2. You should not have any shortcut on the Desktop, you can create them yourself. To do this, open the path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application". Right-click on the file "chrome.exe" and, select "Send to" "Desktop".
  3. Click with the right mouse button on the shortcut of Google Chrome and select the "properties".
  4. Under the tab "shortcut" find the category "objective".
  5. They hang behind the entry of the following command in it: "--enable-aero-peek-tabs".
  6. The whole command should look like this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --enable-aero-peek-tabs
  7. You close the window with the "OK" Button and restart the Browser.
Like the Tab preview for Firefox enable, we will show you in the next tip.

not working for me. Still stays the same. Win 10, Aero Peek is activated. Works with multiple windows but not with one window and X tabs. Was also looking for some extension instead. I don't know why it is baseline nowadays. Nobody can handle that tab desaster anymore. It just feels like I am looking for a solution with an outdated, unsupported 20 year old software. Whoud also appreciate a solution like I had many many years ago in the oldschool opera browser, where you had thumnals directly in the tabs of the browser. That was also possible in crome ~3 years ago, but seems tha flag was removed also. If anyone has some intelligent solution, pls let me know
