  • CTRL+T or clicking plus sign beside address bar will give you a new tab
  • CTRL+SHIFT+N will open a new windows in Incognito Window. What’s incognito Window?. It’s a window that not record what you’ve visited. You don’t need to clear out visit history, as it’s not recorded. So, with incognito window, you can surf privately

  • Alt+F will opens the Tools menu, which lets you customize and control Google Chrome
  • Alt+E, will opens the Page menu, which lets you control the page you're viewing
  • SHIFT+ESC  will take you to Chrome Task Manager. It’s similar to Windows task manager when you push CTRL+ALT+DEL, but this only list Google Chrome process, in case of error, you can stop it without interfering other tabs. Google Chrome has feature to localize problem in each tab, so a problem in a tab, when it closed, won’t affect other tab.

Google Chrome Drawback

One of Google Chrome weakness that not solved till now is their capability in Print a document. What’s rather annoying is, there’s no preview for our printed document. We should use another browser (I prefer Mozilla) when printing a web page.
Above all, Google Chrome is my Favorite  Browser. What about you?
