			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google Chrome has become an unavoidable word as well as browser for netizens. Here we have given some essential tips, tricks and hacks for you.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://chrometricks.net/images/Hacks-Google-Chrome.jpg" alt="" width="475" height="387" /></p>
<p>01-If you want to resize the text area, you can do it by dragging it to the lower right corner, therefore if you need to write a little big comment in a blog, you can easily expand the text area.<br />
<span id="more-180"></span><br />
02-If you want search for keywords, you can do it by pressing just Ctrl+K or Ctrl+E, at the same it is possible by typing “?keyword”</p>
<p>03-If you want to reopen recently closed tab, it is possible by pressing Ctrl+Shift+T, and at the same time, it is possible to check “Recently Closed Tabs” option while opening a new tab.</p>
<p>04-If you are not satisfied with Chrome, you can easily switch to other search engines by choosing “Edit Search Engine”, after right clicking on the address bar.</p>
<p>05-The other major feature of this Chrome is, we can type about:memory in the address bar and we will get a report about running browsers in the machine. Moreover, it will be able to display the details of memory usage by different Google Chrome’s process. Like wise, you we can get many other about pages like about:stats, about:version, about:network, about:dns, about:crash, about:histograms, about:cache, about:plugins, about:hang etc.</p>
<p>06-It is possible to drag a window wherever we want, we can create a new window right from browser tab and we can add it back to the original window.</p>
<p>07-We can surf in Private Browsing Mode and we can try the “Incognito Mode”. It is possible entering Incognito Mode by pressing Ctrl+Shift+N and it is possible by right clicking “Open link in incognito window.”</p>
<p>08-We can directly drag and drop a downloaded file directly from Google Chrome to the desktop or a particular folder.</p>
<p>09-We can monitor the resources being used by a web page just by right clicking inside the page to choose “Inspect element”.</p>
<p>10-At last, you can have an Easter egg in Google Chrome. If you will type about:internets you will be prompted a series of tubes taken from the tubes screensaver.<br />

<p><strong>1. Blazing fast</strong></p>
<p>Chrome actually uses WebKit for rendering Web pages, the same rendering engine as Safari (Safari reviews), which is known to be very fast. Put that in a simple, well optimized, stripped down shell and you get the fastest Web browser around. It loads fast, it displays pages fast, and we’re talking noticeable differences here, which really makes it a joy to use. Don’t just take my word for it,<br />
<span id="more-140"></span><br />
<strong>2. Chews code like there’s no tomorrow</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.chrometricks.net/images/Awesome-Things02.png" alt="" width="475" height="302" /></p>
<p>This one goes hand in hand with being fast, but it’s a little different. Today, it’s not all that important for a browser to render a lot of HTML quickly; browsers are now platforms in which you run applications: two, three, perhaps even a dozen at a time. Therefore, a good browser can handle dynamic content without stuttering and crashing, and from what I’ve seen, Chrome passes the test with flying colors.</p>
<p>True, I haven’t had enough time to test this thoroughly, but the folks over at scriptNode have put together some benchmarks and it seems that Chrome not only handles good code well, it also excels at handling errors.</p>
<p><strong>3. Incognito mode</strong></p>
<p>Click the control icon in the upper right corner of the browser and you’ll get the option to open a new tab, a new window, or a new incognito window. Incognito window will fire up without appearing in browser or search history, and it won’t leave cookies or any other traces of your activity, except files you’ve downloaded or bookmarks. Yes, Safari has it, too, but it’s a nice jab at Firefox (Firefox reviews) which skipped some similar privacy features in version 3.0.</p>
<p><strong>4. Easy to switch</strong></p>
<p>When you’re entering a saturated market with a new product, you can’t change everything. You must carefully balance the features you want to blatantly copy with the ones you want to innovate in. I was pleased to see that Google Chrome (Google Chrome reviews) was built with this in mind; for example, it’s easy to switch from Firefox, but it does bring enough novelties to make you stick around. Importing your bookmarks from Firefox is easy and works well; and other details, like keyboard shortcuts, are the same. Therefore, Chrome’s learning curve is virtually non-existent; start it up and you’ll be browsing as usual in no time.</p>
<p><strong>5. Intelligent start page</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.chrometricks.net/images/Awesome-Things03.png" alt="" width="475" height="378" /></p>
<p>Although not completely original (Opera (Opera reviews) has got a similar approach to quick bookmarking), Chrome’s start page is a pleasant surprise. Besides the ubiquitous search bar, it gives you a list of most commonly visited Web pages to fire up quickly. Granted, I’ve always hated suggestions of that ilk (for example, I’ve never, ever used the commonly used programs feature in Windows), but here it just works, because the pages you frequently visit really are the ones you want to open first.</p>
<p><strong>6. Has its own task manager</strong></p>
<p>Chrome treats tabbed windows as separate processes. Nice, we’ve already seen that in IE8, right? But Chrome also has a nifty way to see what’s going on: a task manager. Similar to the task manager in Windows, it lets you see which processes are active (inside Chrome), and how much memory, CPU, and network resources they use. Beautiful. You can access it by right clicking Chrome’s title bar.</p>
<p><strong>7. Dragging tabs out and back in again</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.chrometricks.net/images/Awesome-Things04.png" alt="" width="475" height="431" /></p>
<p>It’s a little thing, but it warms my heart. You can drag a tab out of Chrome into a separate window, and you can drag a separate window back into tab bar, where it’ll be happily received by Chrome. Stuff like this turns geeks into converts, and Google’s dev team knows that.<br />
