Tips and Tricks to improve your Chrome experience
1. Speed up page loading with Brotli
Enabling
the Brotli function improves the page loading speed as sites are unzipped
faster. To do this, you need to open a new page in the browser and
enter the following URL: chrome: // flags / # enable-brotli.
On the next page you'll see a page
with several features. At the top of the screen, highlighted in yellow, is
the section that is most relevant to us. It's called "Brotli
Coding" content. You must now select the "Default" menu and
then click "Activate". You'll then need to restart Chrome to
apply your changes.
2.Add a shortcut to a website on your home screen
If you find
yourself frequently visiting a website adding it to your home
screen will save you some time and a few taps. To do so, simply
tap the three-point menu and select "Add to home screen." Then just
choose a label for the icon that will be added to your home screen. Too easy!
3.How to navigate in anonymous mode
Incognito mode prevents Google Chrome from saving your browsing
history. To access it, just touch the three-point menu (upper right corner
of the window) and touch "Navigate without a trace". The search
bar and anonymous tab icon are grayed out, and do not change according to the
website you visit.
4.Save data with Chrome
In Google Chrome, you can reduce the use of your plan's mobile
data by compressing them. Simply open the Chrome browser and go to: Menu
> Settings > Data Saver. With this option enabled, you
will certainly save yourself some internet data.
5.Reader
Mode
Not all sites have been optimized to open on a Smartphone. To
improve your user experience with these sites, Google has enabled Reader Mode
in Chrome. To enable this function open the browser and enter the
following URL: chrome: // flags / # reader-mode-heuristics.
You will soon find the
"Activate Reader Mode", then click the "Default"
button and choose "Always". Each new page you'll open after this
will have a note appear in the footer of your display indicating that the
website can be optimized for your Smartphone.
6.Read webpages offline
For a year now, it has been possible to download a webpage to
view it later while offline, but a new update makes it even easier. Just long press any link and choose
"Download link". Or, when you're offline, you can tell Chrome to
download it when you're back online. This is great for when your connection is
spotty. Just open a link while offline, and when you get to the "You are
offline" page, tap the big blue "Download page later" button.
Once you've
downloaded one or more pages, you can get to the content by opening a new tab.
You'll see your downloaded pages listed in their own "Downloads"
section at the top, above some suggested online articles from Google.
So now that
you've assessed out tips and tricks, are there any which you think you might
use know and use? Are there any other tips for Chrome that you use on your Android?
