LEARN SOME HANDY HIDDEN SHORTCUTS

1. Want to open a link into a new tab in the background, so it won’t interrupt what you’re doing? Hold down Ctrl- or Cmd- and click it. To open a link in a whole new window, mean- while, use Shift instead. (This’ll work within most areas of Chrome, by the way—includ- ing the History page and the dropdown history list within the Back button, which we’ll get to in a bit.)

2. You probably know you can press the space bar to scroll down a full page-length, but there’s another side to that shortcut: If you press Shift and the space bar together, Chrome will do the opposite and scroll up by a full page-length at a time.

3. If you ever close a tab by mistake, hit Ctrl- or Cmd-Shift-T. Chrome will reopen your most recently closed tab as if nothing had ever happened. (And you can do it multiple times, too, if there’s more than one tab you’d like to recover.)

4. When you have a bunch of tabs open and want to hang onto the entire session for later, hit Ctrl-Shift-D. That’ll let you save all your open tabs into a folder for easy future access. To restore them, right-click the folder within your bookmarks and select “Open all” or “Open all in new window.”

5. Skip a step and get info about any word or phrase in a page by highlighting it and then right-clicking and selecting the “Search Google” option. You can also highlight a word or phrase and drag it into Chrome’s address bar to achieve the same result—or drag it into the area directly to the right of your final tab to launch the search in a new tab instead of your current one. (Bonus tip: Those same dragging behaviors can also be used to open links.)

6. Save a link with a single click: Just click, hold down your mouse button, and drag the link up into Chrome’s bookmarks bar. Drop it wherever you want, and it’ll be there the next time you need it .

7. If you download a file and then want to move it somewhere specific, click on its tile in the download bar that appears at the bottom of the browser. You can then drag and drop whatever you downloaded directly onto your desktop or into any folder.

8. You can also drag and drop files from Chrome’s download bar directly into an online service—like Google Drive, for instant uploading, or Gmail, for inserting the file as an attachment in a new message.

9. Should you ever find Chrome mysteriously misbehaving, remember this command: chrome://restart. Type it into Chrome’s address bar, and your browser will restart itself and restore all your tabs and windows in a jiffy. You never know when it might come in handy.

I knew all before

Nothing new here to learn



Even if you know all or even more, must you talk? Mr know all, you should have added to that instead of forming know all to sound in an immatured manner.

My question: What exactly do people gain in pride.

With chrome it became easier to log into many platforms as my password is automatically saved. If you're blogger, I advise you use Chrome as it would save you lots of headache.

Remember too, Chrome is a Google product. Once you login to your Google account and start making use of chrome browser, everything becomes easier

Nice one, you forgot one extremely useful feature I use often. It's the send to device feature, if you have multiple devices and want to send the current tab to open on your phone or another computer, click on the link bar, on the far right just before you see the bookmark star icon, there's this laptop and phone icon, click on it and you will see the devices connected to the same Google account, yes you must sync all devices with the same Google account. Select any device and Chrome will send a notification which when you click on it, will open that same tab on your browser.
