By reducing your bookmarks to show only the icons, you can access more of them from the Bookmarks bar. This works great for sites with recognizable favicons like Gmail, Google Calendar, etc.
If the backlight on your device is not on long enough (or is on too long) for your liking, you can easily change the duration for easier usability or longer battery life.
Most browsers have a print button so you don’t have to hunt for the correct menu selection or rely on remembering the keyboard combination. You can add a print button to your Bookmarks bar, making it easily accessible any time you need it.
You can use Chrome to create a site specific browser that transforms sites like Gmail, Google Calendar, Yahoo! Mail, etc. into standalone web applications. Chrome will also create icons on the desktop, Start menu, and/or Quick Launch bar so you can easily access your newly created application. When opened, the application will appear in your taskbar like other programs do, and will go unaffected by actions that take place in a regular Chrome browser window.
As with other browsers, Chrome has keyboard shortcuts that allow you to easily get to variable places in the browser or to access additional functionality. In most cases, the keyboard shortcuts are more time efficient than relying on the mouse and interface. Here are the ones that I found to be most beneficial.
If you have fallen in love with Google’s web browser and are ready to use it all the time, here’s how to make it your default browser.
If you’re like me, you visit the same pages everytime you open your browser. Chrome can be configured to load multiple pages at startup.
You can search by typing your search query directly into the address bar or by highlighting text on a webpage, right-clicking and selecting the search command. To change which search engine Chrome will use, follow these steps.
If you encounter a situation where one of the tabs in Google Chrome is causing you problems and won’t close, you don’t have to close the browser to get rid of your troubles. Chrome comes with its own Task Manager that shows you how much of available resources are used by any open pages and used plug-ins. It also allows you to end process on any open tab without having to shutdown the browser.
Chrome is the web browser just released by Google. So far, I’ve noticed a couple of operational tips.
WebSlices allow users to subscribe to content directly from within a webpage. If WebSlices are available on the page, a notification icon will appear when you mouseover the content. If you don’t utilize WebSlices, this notification can be a distraction.
Sometimes you need to remove applications to make room for other files (or maybe you just found something that works better). If you want to remove an application from your BlackBerry, it can be done in a few simple steps.
