Year in Review: Top 3 Posts - 3rd Place
Monday, December 10, 2012
It's well into December, New Year's Eve is just a few weeks away, and like many others, we're thinking about the year in review. Through the end of the month, we'll re-share your top 3 favorite posts from the Google and Your Business blog in 2012. Coming in at number 3 is a piece from our 10 in 10 series--our top 10 tips for using Google Chrome.

Want to get even faster at work? Use Google Chrome shortcuts to start working as fast as you browse the web:
While reading online, have you ever seen a word or phrase that you wanted to learn more about? Next time, just highlight the term(s) and then drag it to your tabstrip to the right or left of your current tab--a new tab will open with search results for the highlighted text. You can also try the
Dictionary extension
so when you highlight a word the definition will hover over it.
Have a site (or a few) you always keep open, like Gmail or Rdio? You can pin those tabs so that they open the next time you launch Chrome. To
pin a tab
, right-click on it then select “Pin Tab”.
Sign in to Chrome
to access your bookmarks and quickly
sync your tabs
on any of your other gadgets where you’re signed into Chrome. Just go to the “Other devices” menu when you open a new tab to find them. The back and forward buttons will even work, so you can pick up browsing right where you left off.
Try using incognito windows to browse in stealth mode. With
Incognito Mode
, pages you view won't appear in your browser history or search history, and they won't leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close the incognito window
Want to
hide your bookmarks bar
? You can also use the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+Shift+B (Windows and Chrome OS) and ⌘-Shift-B (Mac) to toggle the bar on and off.
To save a webpage as a PDF, press Ctrl + p (Mac: Cmd + p) to bring up the print dialogue, then Destination > Change.
Need even more space to browse? You can toggle
full-screen mode
with these handy keyboard shortcuts: Fullscreen Key on a Chromebook, F11 on Windows & Linux, and Cmd+Shift+F on a Mac.
Accidentally
close a window
? Just use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+t to open the last tab you closed. Keep using this shortcut to open your previous tabs.
Bookmarks
are just a click away. Like a page? Click on the Star next to the omnibox, and the page is automatically bookmarked.
Use apps from the
Chrome Web Store
to do things like get notifications, take notes, edit screenshots, and more.
You can learn even more tips for using Google Chrome by checking out the
