Google Chrome browser features a minimalist user interface, with so many integration for a better browsing experience. It is arguably one of the best internet browsers available in the market. It comes with handful tricks for better internet services. It has clean, polished UI with wide range of actions. Therefore, Chrome’s abilities multiply greatly when you consider the near-bottomless library of extensions, there’s a bounty of stock functionality embedded all throughout Chrome’s guts that you may not even know about.

[center]CHROME TRICKS and TIPS[/center]
1. Anonymous Browsing in Incognito Mode
When you go Incognito, your browser neither keeps track of browsing history, nor store cookies from your browsing. This is very useful when browsing for things that you might not want the world to know about (like Porn). Always be mindful that Incognito mode does not hide your IP address. Click on the three dots on the top right, select New incognito window. This opens an anonymous window.

2. Drag Multiple Tabs at Once
You can drag and drop Chrome tabs into their own browser windows, or mix and match them between browser windows. Also, this can be done on multiple tabs in Google Chrome browser. Hold down the Ctrl key and click on all the tabs you wish to move and you can move them as one. If you’re on a Mac, hold the Command key and repeat the same process.

3. Open Accidentally Closed Tabs and Windows
Recover mistakenly closed tab with a simple trick. Right-click on another open tab and select “Reopen closed tab” or
press Control+Shift+T on the keyboard (Command-Shift-T on a Mac) and Chrome will reopen any recently closed tabs. Repeat the steps to recover more closed tabs. This makes you work your way back through your browsing history. If you closed an entire window, with all your precious pinned tabs, open or right-click on a new Chrome window and select “Open closed window”.

4. Open a Search in New Tab
To search a text, simply highlight the text/word and right-click, hit “search google for text”. This automatically searches the item in a new tab. It saves time and preferred to Copy and Paste technique. [Highlight means, left click, hold and drag across the text to select the text.] (on a Mac, Control-click on a highlighted word).

5. Open Link in New Tab
The fastest way to open a link in a new tab is, Hold down the Ctrl Key (command key on Mac) and click on the link. The link will open in a new tab. This saves your current tab from exiting.

6. Browse Through Tabs Using Key Commands
Navigate through tabs quickly by holding down the Control key (Command on Macs) and a number 1 through 9. Each number is associated with a different tab starting with 1 all the way to the left. This moves incrementally through 9 tabs as you move to the right.

7. Drag a URL to the Bookmarks Bar
Quickly add website’s links to your Bookmarks Bar by highlighting the URL and dragging directly down to the Bar. You can edit it later if you want to change the name. You can drag a URL in from sources other than Chrome as well. Dragging a url directly to the input field is possible in Google Chrome browser.

8. Add a Link to the Desktop
Chrome also offers an elegant, baked-in feature that allows users to add a clickable link to your desktop for later use. Click the Hamburger in the top-right corner > More tools > Add to desktop. This will prompt a pop-up window, which allows you to name the link. This creates a clickable link on your desktop with an icon to represent the page.

9. Create a Profile for Your Kid/Add Another Person
Google Chrome browser allows you to set up a separate profile for anyone which you can monitor and control. You must first sign in with your google account details.
First, create a new profile by going to Settings > People > Manage other people > Add person. Make sure to click the box next to “Control and view the websites this person visits from” [your log-on account] and click Add. These supervised people will not be set up with their own Google identities (which means they are theoretically not being tracked and targeted by Google’s ad business). A few minutes later, you’ll receive an email link leading you to the supervised user’s page.
Once there, you’ll have the ability to block certain sites, keep SafeSearch on lock, and view that user’s web activities. You can then log your kid into Chrome under their own identity by clicking Settings > Manage Other People and then clicking on their profile. Multiple identities can also be set up.

10. Delete Browsing History With Shortcut
Simply delete your browsing history, including past URLs, cached images, passwords, and cookies, by a shortcut. Hold down Control+Shift+Delete on the keyboard and a “Clear browsing data” window will open. (Press shift-Command-Delete to use this function on a Mac).

11. Task Manager
Task Manager shows a list of running processes. It is useful to know applications that are active and running. To access the manager on Google Chrome browser, click the Hamburger in the top-right corner > More tools > Task manager. (Or use Shift + Esc on the keyboard). If one of those processes seems like it’s causing a problem (like slowing down or stalling your browser), you can highlight it with a click of the “End process” button at the bottom of the window.
