Chrome is all about speed and user friendliness , from the point chrome is released , it`s been a rage. 

Here are some tricks and keyboard shortcuts that i found useful for chrome

1.  Control + Shift + N opens an ‘incognito’ window - This mode helps you to visit sites which will not appear on browser history or search history.

2. Alt + Home opens your Chrome home page, Which contains the thumbnails of your most visited sites shown in the active tabbed window.

3. Control + T opens you a new tab. Tabs can be drag around to change their order just like good old Firefox.

4. Control + Shift + T opens most recently closed tab. Press same key combination again to open the tab closed before that one.

5. Change your focus with Control + 1, Control + 2,……… Control + 9 takes you to the last tab.

Enjoy these small tricks,…. Have fun

It`s been nearly 10-12 hours that i have been using Google chrome browser and i surely going to make this my default browser for sure.

There are some tips and tricks which every power user should understand about google chrome:-

1. Incognito mode

On clicking the control icon in the upper right corner of the browser there comes options of opening a new tab, a new window, or a new incognito window. Incognito window opens up and let you browse without leaving tracemarks in your browser history or appearing search history, Also it will  not leave cookies or any other traces of your activity, However files you’ve downloaded or bookmarks will be untouched.

2. Chrome Task manager

Chrome task manager is a small cousin of windows task manager, It displays the process (aka websites ) seperately along with the information which website is taking how much memory and using how much cpu cycles is used by which website. Now this comes out to be a very handy tool as some websites tend to accumulate a lot of memory due to bad backend programming over time, Finally we can close the particular website without crashing the browser. In short this means we can run our browser for eternity without crashing.
