Reopen recently closed tab in Safari

You can easily reopen recently closed tabs in Safari. It often happens that a tab is accidentally closed, especially if a lot of key combination(s) are used in the Safari browser.

For example, you can quickly close a tab in Safari using the command ⌘ + w key combination. If you focus on a tab that you did not actually want to close, the tab is still closed quickly.

You can quickly reopen a closed tab on a Mac, iPhone or iPad. This is how it works.
