The Android operating system allows you to use various browsers, but users often stop at the most convenient and widespread - Google Chrome. There are several techniques that make working with the application even easier and more convenient.
About the Google Chrome browser
Most modern Android mobile devices have the Google Chrome browser preinstalled by default. Therefore, users do not consider it necessary to install new programs, especially since this browser is of high quality, speed of operation and a huge number of useful functions.
Owners of devices are attracted by high connection speed, compatibility with advanced web technologies. At the same time, many do not know about the huge number of useful additional settings. And if you use all the functions, working with the browser becomes even easier and more enjoyable.
Google Chrome Browser Features
The browser allows you to quickly switch between tabs. For such a quick switch, you need to take advantage of special features. There is a special button on the Chrome toolbar. This button displays the number of open tabs. You can also quickly switch in another way - just swipe left to move to the next tab, or right to return to the previous one. Swipe down to open a list of all open tabs in an ordered stack on the toolbar.
With a browser, it's also easy to sync tabs, spoofs, bookmarks between all your devices. This is possible if all devices are using the Chrome browser. By synchronizing the data, you can forget about the need to write down passwords, transfer bookmarks, and re-enter the site. You can go online to the very page and the site where you left off, leaving the browser on your desktop computer or laptop. To set up sync, go to settings, touch your account name, and then email again. Then place the checkboxes next to all the data you want to sync.
The browser allows you to save traffic, which is especially useful for tariffs with limited connections. Also, this data compression feature will be useful when working in roaming or with a poor Internet connection. To activate this feature, open the program settings and click on the "Save traffic" item. The next window will open in which you need to activate compression using the switch at the top. Here you can also get acquainted with statistics, graphs, numerical indicators of savings.
A feature that few people have heard of is Reader Mode. It comes in very handy when you need to read a long article. This reader mode feature is experimental and can only be activated from the service page. You cannot access it via the chrome: // flags address. Here you will find the "Display the Reading View Icon on the Toolbar" setting. Activate it. When the program restarts, you will see a new button with which you can switch to the new mode. It clears the screen of all elements that might interfere with reading. The function cannot be used on all pages, therefore it is not displayed everywhere.
If the Internet disappears while surfing interesting pages, do not be discouraged. You can have fun playing the browser's built-in game. When the error page appears, click on the dinosaur image. An endless line will open, on which you need to jump over the cacti in order to score as many points as possible.
You can simply pin your favorite sites to your desktop. It is easy to do, and as a result, you can save a lot of time. You don't have to replay all the actions over and over again to get to your favorite site or forum. There is even no need to restart the browser, go to bookmarks, search for the desired site there and open it. The most visited pages can be displayed directly on the desktop. Thus, you can open them with just one touch. The corresponding item is called "Add to Home Screen". You can find it in the main menu of the program.
Another useful feature is voice input. It is useful when you need to enter too long a query. It will take too long to type it, and entering it using your voice is a matter of a few seconds. To do this, you need to click on the microphone icon in the search bar and dictate your request.
