5 Google chrome tricks and shortcuts:

  1. Use chrome URL to access History, Bookmarks, Downloads, Install Extension

chrome://downloads/   -To check downloaded file

chrome://bookmarks/    -To check Bookmarked sites

chrome://extensions/     -To check installed Extensions

chrome://history/           -To check browsed history

You can use above URL directly to check data like your downloaded files, games, music, videos etc. also to check you bookmarked sites, installed Extensions and history. These URL provides you easy access instead of searching same option in chrome setting. There are many other chrome URL which can be useful as per your requirement.

  1. Arithmetic Calculation in search box.

As you all know Google search engine works like a wife/girl.

Who start predicting your mind before you complete your sentence. 😛

Yes, Google’s algorithm is efficient enough to predict your mind for whatever you type in search box. This algorithm is also enhanced to solve your arithmetic query in search box itself.

Chrome provide lots of shortcut and quick access to data but still you may like to have home button in your toolbar to get instant access to your homepage.

You can enable this ‘Home button’ by going to setting option or use link mention in 1st trick in same article i.e. ‘chrome://settings/’ and under ‘Appearance’ click check box for ‘Show Home button’ . You can also see option to enable ‘Always show the bookmark bar’.

  1. Pin the open tab

Many times it happens that you had opened many tabs but your browser bar didn’t have space to show detail information of that open blog/site. In such case you use this trick to pin that tab in browser bar so that it would occupy less space in the browser bar and you will get more space to open more browser.

To do this you have to right click on respective tab followed by ‘Pin tab’
