In other way some of these 10 hidden features of Chrome will help you to safe in the Internet, and will reduce the chance of losing your personal data.
10. Pin tab
This is useful when you when use some websites frequently (such as Gmail, Facebook), and don’t want to close those accidentally. Pinning tabs come to rescue at this situation. When you pin a tab, it goes to the extreme left of all opened tabs and there are no close tab icon. This is a very useful for power users who browses the internet too much and among them always wants some site to be open (say Gmail, Hotmail, and Twitter). This feature is also useful for bloggers who is writing some article. You can research within the same window in several tabs and there will be no chance of accidentally close the tab you writing in.
9. Incognito mode
Incognito mode is useful when you want to browse the internet securely and privately. There will be no way to track the websites you browsed in incognito window (Tab). All the cookies, files, scripts will be deleted as soon as you close the tab. Chrome does not save the sites you visit in incognito window. Be sure that incognito cannot protect you from surveillance done by Govt. agencies (Such as NSA spying) or from person standing behind you.
8. Quick Calculation
When you are a little bit confused about your calculation, you can quickly check this via Chrome Search Box. For example, you want to multiply 1350 by 13 , simply type 1350*13 on the Search Box. Answer 17550 will be shown in the results (below navigation bar). This feature is very handy for quick arithmetic calculations.
7. Paste and go/paste and search
Google Chrome has an interactive shortcut. When you want to search for something just type that in Chrome url panel and hit enter. Chrome will directly show you search results (by using default search engine), You can change the default search engine to Bing, Yahoo, Ask or anything you want.
When you are trying to open a new website, just copy and paste the url (from another browser like Firefox, Internet Explorer or from any document), while pasting select paste and go. This will save a little bit of your precious time as you do not need to touch your keyboard to hit enter.
6. Built-in task manager
Like Windows Google Chrome also its own built-in task manager. This will show you what is consuming your memory and how much. You can use this feature to monitor each site/page/window’s individual memory and processing usage. This comes handy when any of the site tab became unresponsive, as you can close that particular tab without affecting other open tabs.
You can find Chrome task manager by entering “Shift+Esc” or by right clicking on the chrome’s navigation panel .
5. Drag to Search
Highlighting a word and performing a drag and drop is fundamentally the same as performing a cut and paste, so it stands to reason that you could just highlight a word or phrase and drag it into the omnibox to perform a Web search. Conversely, you can also just right click on highlighted word or phrase and you will prompt a pop-up option to conduct a Google search (on a Mac, Control-click on a highlighted word).
4. Use Key Commands to Browse Through Tabs
If you ever need to read something quick on another tab, hold down the Control key (Command on Macs) and a number 1 through 9. Each number is associated with a different tab starting with 1 all the way to the left and moving incrementally through 9 tabs as you move to the right.
3. Navigate Up and Down Using Key Commands
You can use the spacebar to scroll down on any webpage, and you can scroll back up by pressing Shift and the spacebar.
2. Open Accidentally Closed Tabs
Have you ever mistakenly closed a tab? We all have. BUT thankfully Chrome is a forgiving browser and makes it possible to get it all back. All you have to do is press Control-Shift-T (Command-Shift-T on a Mac) and Chrome will reopen any recently closed tabs. You can keep hitting it for more closed tabs working your way back through your browsing history.
1. Sync Bookmarks (and AutoFills, Extensions) To Google Account
Chrome Sync can sync apps, auto-fill information, bookmarks, extensions, omni-box history, password, settings, themes, and open tabs. This can save people time tweaking settings or searching for information.
