Hardly, as the world’s most popular browser includes a lot of hidden features and functionalities, that can make it even more useful. Intrigued? Read on, as we take a look at the 15 of the best Google Chrome tricks, guaranteed to supercharge your productivity
1. Close and bookmark multiple tabs, access tab history and more, with one click.
Google Chrome includes a lot of advanced tab management options, easily accessible via tab context menu. Simply right click on any (active or inactive) tab, and you’ll find options to close all tabs to the right of the active tab, reload & duplicate tabs, bookmark all tabs, etc. Here is a listing of all the options available in the tab context menu:
New Tab: Spawn a new browser tab, immediately right to the active one.
Reload: Refresh the content of the currently active tab.
Duplicate: Create a new tab to the right, with the same content as that of the active tab.
Pin Tab: Permanently pin a tab to the browser. Pinned tabs are moved to the left of all the other tabs, and stay pinned even when the browser is closed.
Mute Tab: Mute the audio playing in the tab. Obviously, this works only if the tab is playing some sound (Indicated by a little speaker icon on).
Close Tab, Close Other Tabs, Close Tabs To The Right: Self explanatory.
Reopen Closed Tab: Open the most recently closed tab, and load up the webpage loaded in it at the time of closing.
Bookmark All Tabs: Save all the current open tabs (or more specifically, their content) as bookmarks in a user specified folder.
Not only that, you can simply right click on the Back and Forward navigation buttons on any tab to see the webpage browsing history of that tab, for the current session. Check out the companion screenshot above.
2. Perform calculations, unit conversions etc., directly from the Omnibox
The Omnibox, which is the combined search and address bar of Google Chrome, is a pretty versatile tool in itself. You can use it to quickly perform everything from basic arithmetic calculations (addition, subtraction, multiplications, etc) to unit conversions (Currency conversions, Miles to Kilometres, Pound to Kilogram, etc) of nearly every unit type. It can even be used to quickly compose email (using the configured default email client), and add events to your Google calendar.
To perform an arithmetic calculation, simply type it in the Omnibox, followed by the equal to (=) sign, and the result will be displayed in the drop down box, in real-time. Cool, isn’t it?
3. Get your bookmarks, extensions, preferences etc. on all devices
Perhaps one of the best examples of Google’s Chrome tight integration with other Google services, is its browser sign-in feature. Basically, when you sign-in to Google Chrome with your Google account, all of your browser settings, including bookmarks, installed extensions, browsing history, saved passwords etc. are automatically encrypted and synchronized to the same Google account. This can be easily done by navigating to Chrome Settings (Hamburger icon) > Sign in, and entering your Google account credentials.
