9 hidden Chrome features guaranteed to make your life easier: 🖥

Tab Groups:

I've got a bad habit and I'm guessing you do as well.

Too Many Open Tabs!

Tab Groups are an easy way to still keep them open and get organized at the same time.

• Select multiple tabs
• Right-click
• Add tabs to a new group

Expand & retract as needed.
Control Audio / Video playback:

If you're working in one tab while listening to music or watching a video in another, there's no need to navigate away to make adjustments.

Pause, skip to the next track, adjust volume, and more by clicking the music note icon in the menu bar.
Custom search engines:

Turn your address bar into a search engine for basically any site with a "search" function.

Go to a site of your choice
Search for a topic
Copy the URL
Head to settings>Search engine>Site search>Add

Here it is in action:
Keyboard Shortcuts for extensions:

Did you know you can set up Keyboard shortcuts for all of your Google Chrome extensions?

Just enter the URL below and you can do exactly that.

chrome://extensions/shortcuts

Here I'll set one up to quickly access Similarweb on any page:
Pinned Tabs:

Do you have a few sites you visit all the time?

Try out "pinned tabs."

Right-click the tab
Select "pin"
Boom!

The tab is reduced in size and pinned to the left side of your screen.

Close Chrome? No problem.

Pinned tabs reappear each time you open your browser.
Bookmark tabs into folders:

I love bookmarks––maybe a little too much...

I'm always running out of room & end up fighting with myself over which ones make the cut to live on my screen.

No more.

• Right-click the window
• Bookmark all tabs
• Create folder
• Done!
Sharing:

Quickly share links, cast to devices, create QR codes, and more.

Head to your address bar
Click the "share" icon
Select your choice and you're done.

It's that easy.
Startup Pages:

When it comes to working, I have a few pages I need to have open every day.

Rather than manually typing them in each day, I have my browser set to open them automatically.

Open the pages you wish to see.

Head to settings>On startup>Open specific>Use current
Mute Tabs:

There aren't many things I find more annoying than when a site starts randomly playing a video with sound.

Suddenly, your work is interrupted by an ad for the latest widget you can't live without.

Find the tab with the 🔉 icon
Right-click
Mute site
Get back to work!
That's it for today!

Hopefully, you learned something new!

The chorus of this song uses the shlokas taken from Sundarkand of Ramayana.

It is a series of Sanskrit shlokas recited by Jambavant to Hanuman to remind Him of his true potential.

1. धीवर प्रसार शौर्य भरा: The brave persevering one, your bravery is taking you forward.


2. उतसारा स्थिरा घम्भीरा: The one who is leaping higher and higher, who is firm and stable and seriously determined.

3. ुग्रामा असामा शौर्या भावा: He is strong, and without an equal in the ability/mentality to fight

4. रौद्रमा नवा भीतिर्मा: His anger will cause new fears in his foes.

5.विजिटरीपुरु धीरधारा, कलोथरा शिखरा कठोरा: This is a complex expression seen only in Indic language poetry. The poet is stating that Shivudu is experiencing the intensity of climbing a tough peak, and likening

it to the feeling in a hard battle, when you see your enemy defeated, and blood flowing like a rivulet. This is classical Veera rasa.

6.कुलकु थारथिलीथा गम्भीरा, जाया विराट वीरा: His rough body itself is like a sharp weapon (because he is determined to win). Hail this complete

hero of the world.

7.विलयगागनथाला भिकारा, गरज्जद्धरा गारा: The hero is destructive in the air/sky as well (because he can leap at an enemy from a great height). He can defeat the enemy (simply) with his fearsome roar of war.
