Tips & Tricks: Google Chrome

Google Chrome is an extremely fast and lightweight browser. The top bar and the menu bar have been omitted and giving a large space for browsing. There is many feature in Google Chrome..

Inspect Memory Usage
Google Chrome has advanced options for memory usage. Right-click on the browser tab and select ‘Task Manager’. If you will open four tab then you will get a window showing how much memory is being used by each tab in the browser.
Now click on ‘Stats for Nerds’ and a new tab will open in the same browser, with information of a process ID, name of the site, memory and virtual memory usage. The great thing about this feature is that if you are using other browsers at the same time, then the tab shows the memory usage by that browser as well.

Bookmarks
For bookmark, Click on the star icon befor the address bar. it show the list of bookmarks. You can use this using shortcut key [ctrl] + [b]

Navigation Tips
Drag and drop any tab from the existing browser into the desktop to start a new browser . Your can open new tab using by shortcut key [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [T]. Use [Ctrl] + [1] to [9] to cycle through tabs from the keyboard.
