Click on Chrome to get the browser now. If you want to add some application, extension or theams just click on Chrome Store.
Customize your startup pages
With Chrome you can select multiple pages to load every time the browser launches. To do this click the "Wrench" icon at the top right of the browser, select "Options" > "Basics" and check the box "open the following pages." Choose "add" and a window will open with a list of recently visited sites. Select the ones that you want to open at start-up, or type the URL of a page you haven't visited recently.
Use Incognito Mode
Chrome Incognito is an instance of the Chrome browser that does not store history or cookies. This mode prevents that data from that browsing session will be recorded in the browser so that no trace of it can be found after ending the session.
The shorcut for the Incognito mode is Ctrl+Shift+N.
Chromes Task Manager
With your Google Chrome open press Shift+Esc and a "task manager" will open with a list of all your apps, extension and websites that are opened. Task manager will show you how much physical memory is consumed and if a particular page is causing your system to run slow, you can also close a tab or application directly from task manager by left clicking on the apps or site and hiting "end process".
Restore tab pages
It's pretty annoying to close a tab by accident and then realize that you're not sure how to get back to the page. Chrome let's you restore the closed tab very easy, just press Ctrl+Shift+T to reopen the tab, you can restore up to 10 tabs closed.
Pin a tab on your browser
If bookmarks get filled up in a hurry and tabs get pushed out and you have to visit a number of sites more than once during one session, Google Chrome has a cool trick to make it easier. You can "pin" a bookmark to the browser bar, an operation that results in a teeny little icon representing the page. To do so, right click on the tab you want to pin and click "pin tab." And when you don't need quick access to the page anymore, right click the icon again and click "unpin" and it goes back to being a regular tab. When you close the browser, everything unpins.
Detach a tab
Detach a tab and open it in a new window just drag the tab outside the active window, you can also add it back to the original window using drag and drop.
Application Bookmarks
If you who enjoy having icons on your desktop or icon panel, Google Chrome allows you to turn a website into an 'application'. And by application I mean a nice launching icon. These icons looks just like application icons. If you double-click on icon it will launch in a singular web browser. This "application" won’t allow you to open additional tabs or view history. It also won’t have the address bar and other stuff that you may not want crowding your screen. To create one go to the "Wrench" > "Tools" > "Create application shorcut" and hit create button.
If you want your bookmarks to look like a favicom icon in your toolbar all you have to do is to delete the site name and you will have a easy to access toolbar. If you have already made the shortcut you can change it from your "wrench" icon, select "bookmarks" > "bookmark manager" & then delete the site name (not the site url). To show you bookmark bar click the "wrench" icon > "options" > at the Basic check the box "Always show the bookmarks bar".
To get this going, you’ll first need to make sure you have the bookmarks bar displayed. You can check this by clicking the wrench icon, selecting “Tools” and then ticking “Always show
bookmarks bar.”
