Carry Out Calculations in the Omnibox



 
  In addition to being a URL bar and a search field, Chrome’s “omnibox” is also a basic calculator. Rather than load up your computer’s calculator, Google or Wolfram Alpha, you can just type your mathematical query into the omnibox and the result will show up where you’d normally see auto-suggestions.
Beyond simple sums, this also works for unit conversions like feet-to-meters, pints-to-liters, etc,.

Make Chrome’s consume less memory

By default, Chrome is a multi-process browser. Yawn! What’s that? Simply, it means that each tab runs as a separate process asking for separate resources from the computer. The current working tab gets the most priority over the others. This was intentionally designed to make web apps run faster in Chrome. This feature makes the browser zippier and more stable even with multiple open tabs.
But if you aren’t a heavy user and use the browser to surf only a single site at a time then disabling multiple processes can free up some CPU resources. To handle each web process Chrome has three settings “
““process-per-tab
The default mode; each tab gets an independent process of its own. This increases the rendering of webpages and makes the browser stable as each tab is a separate process from the rest. But it also consumes memory.
““process-per-site
One process for each unique website; for instance a user with two tabs open for Gmail and another for MakeUseOf will have the two Google tabs running under the same process.
““single-process
The simplest mode; all tabs run in a single process, much like the other browsers we have now. This setting frees up memory for other applications. This is what we are looking for.
Create a shortcut for Chrome. Open the Properties tab. Edit the Target field as shown in the picture by appending –single-process to the path.
1_single-process
Similarly you can create two more shortcuts for the other two processes to handle your web sessions in three ways.

 Make a Favicon-Only Bookmarks Bar



 
  There’s yet another cool way to get quick access to your favorite, or most-visited sites in Chrome. Plus, it looks pretty cool.
You can get Chrome to display your bookmarked sites in the toolbar, but by deleting the site’s name from the bookmark settings, the browser will just show the site’s favicons, making for a colorful display along the top of your window.
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.”
Once you’ve done this, as you add new sites to your bookmarks, be sure to delete the text in the name box, as per the screen shot below, for a favicon-only list.

 
  Alternatively, to edit existing bookmarks so that they display favicon-only, go to “chrome://bookmarks,” right-click on the bookmark, select “Edit” and then delete the text in the name box.

Configure Multiple Homepages

Consider yourself a power user, do you? Then why rock but a single homepage? You can configure Chrome to load multiple sites every time you open your browser. Click the Wrench icon and navigate to Tools > Basics and start adding sites. Don’t overdo it though—you’ll bog down your initial load time.

Cheat at Math

The Google Suggests feature in Chrome is your key to impressing co-workers with your unlimited knowledge of numbers. Just type your math query into the Omnibar and the answer will appear without ever having to punch the Enter key. Goodbye Windows Calculator!
Create desktop and Start menu shortcuts to web app
 such as Gmail – go to Gmail.com and then select Create application shortcuts… from the Page Control menu (in the top-right corner of your browser – it looks like a page with the corner folded over). Now choose where you want to place your shortcut. This works for other Google apps such as Calendar and Documents, and other services such as Windows Live Hotmail.
 Control + Shift + N opens an ‘incognito’ window – sites you view in this window won’t appear in your history and cookies served by sites in this window will be deleted when the window is closed.
You can open a link in an incognito window by right-clicking the link and selecting Open link in incognito window.
Alt Home loads your Google Chrome home page, with thumbnails of your most visited sites shown in the active tabbed window.
Control T opens a new tab. You can drag tabs around to change their order or drag a tab out of the window into its own window.
Control Shift T opens your most recently closed tab. Press the key combination again to open the tab closed before that one. Google Chrome remembers the last 10 tabs you’ve closed.

Drag and drop downloads from Chrome

After finishing a download, you can copy it to the desktop or to any other folder by a simple drag and drop directly from Google Chrome.
7_download
Jump to different open tabs using Control 1Control 2Control + 3, etc.Control + 9 takes you to the last tab.
Control Tab lets you cycle through your open tabs in order. Control Shift Tab cycles through your tabs in the opposite order.

Audit Your Tabs


Have a sneaky suspicion one of your tabs is a resource pig? You can find out which sites are dragging your browser (and your system) down. Just hit Shift+Esc to open up Chrome’s built-in Task Manager to see how much memory and CPU cycles each tab is consuming.

Test Drive Multiple Versions of Chrome

If you want access to new features before everyone else, you have to subscribe to Chrome’s Beta or Dev channel, both of which replace your stable build. Not keen with that? Try Chrome’s Canary build (http://tinyurl.com/2b2jof9). It’s the most frequently updated version of Chrome, and it installs alongside whatever other version you’re running.

Convert Webpages into App Shortcuts

App shortcuts open in a dedicated window devoid of browser buttons and are handy for frequently accessed sites, like Gmail, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and, well, you get the idea. To create one, navigate to Wrench > Tools > Create application shortcuts… and punch the Create button.

Dig Yourself Out of a Link Hole


Once you’ve burrowed deep within a website, navigating back several pages (or to the beginning) involves rapid firing the backspace key. Hello carpal tunnel. There’s a better way click and hold Chrome’s back button to see a list of links you’ve been to. This works with the forward button, too.

Learn What All the Fuss is ‘About’

You’re probably already familiar with Firefox’s About:Config page, and while this doesn’t work in Chrome, several other About pages do exist. Try these on for size:
About:DNS
About:Cache
About:Plugins
About:Memory
About:Crash

Edit Any Site’s Code (Legally)

We don’t condone hacking into someone else’s website, but you can muck with any webpage locally so that the changes are only visible on your PC. Right-click any part of a page you want to alter and select Inspect element. Any changes you make to the Elements tab will appear in real time.

Benchmark Your Website’s Load Time

The Inspect element option is also your gateway to seeing how fast certain parts of your site (or anyone else’s site) load. Access the Inspect element option the same as before, but this time head over to the Resources tab. Use this info to code a super lean webpage.

Shrink Tabs into Favicons

One of the headaches that come with being a power surfer is that our browser window quickly gets cluttered with tabs. Luckily for us, Google made it easy to wrangle tabs into manageable favicons that take up much less space. Just right-click and select Pin Tab.
