Tips for using the Google Chrome web browser will come in handy for a large part of Slovenian web users, as Google Chrome is the most popular web browser in Slovenia (and also in the world) with a 38.5% share, according to the data of the Survey of Website Visits (MOSS). Therefore, it is right to offer some useful tips that will further improve the user experience of this user favorite.
Tips for use web browser Google Chrome are intended for both new users and "old cats". Namely browser it's like the street we walk home on every day. If we look closely, we quickly realize that, even if we were sure we knew it like the back of our hand, it still hides unknown things. Gmail, Google Drive and Google Calendar almost everyone knows. But did you know that you can use them even when you are without internet connection? Or to browse the web using your voice? This and more below.
Login with multiple accounts
Most of them have several Google accounts (e.g. personal, work, sports, etc.). And most of them switch between them in such a way that they "go around the ass" (that is, logging out of one and logging in to another). Did you know there is a shortcut? Google Chrome allows logging in with multiple accounts, which means that you can use multiple Google accounts in certain Google services in the same browser session. Once you're logged into your account, drag your cursor to the icon with the image (top right), click on it or the email address, and select the account you want to log into. And that's all art. Switching has never been so easy.

Apps/services that you can use without an internet connection
Did you know that you can use apps like Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar and Maps even in offline mode? This option is ideal for all those with a "whimsical" connection, those who do a lot of work on the go and who cannot afford not to be able to access them. You can find such applications in the Chrome Web Store at this address: chrome.google.com
Voice search
The Chrome browser has also been enabling voice search for some time, which is a very practical way, especially when you're on the go or don't feel like typing. Look for the small gray microphone, click on it, and a dialog box will appear, signaling you to say a question or search query. Chrome finds and displays the web link you want in just a fraction of a second.
Remote Desktop for Chrome
We do more and more things through mobile devices, so Google has developed an application for remote access to the desktop of Windows and MacOS PCs (Remote Desktop for Chrome). This means that Android users can remotely control their computer in the same way that you can do it through a classic computer system. Namely, the same option has been present for computers for a long time, where remote desktop for Chrome allows you to visit another computer from one computer via the Internet and access remote files or applications owned by another computer. It can also serve as a remote service so that you don't have to take your computer elsewhere (for example, if it's a system problem or a problem that isn't related to the hardware).

Search for specific web pages with the Omnibar
Chrome's address bar, the Omnibar, is a very special browser with an integrated web search engine that predicts the desired address, as it is able to auto-complete the input based on the sequence of letters. This significantly speeds up the process of searching for web pages, and you also only have one browser window open. It also identifies this content and attaches a magnifying glass icon to it, if it is a page that has not yet been visited, and a clock icon, if we already have a "history" with the page. It is therefore a "girl for everything" between the address bars, which, among other things, also allows you to change tabs by typing the name of the website you are looking for.
Tab pinning
We visit some websites non-stop. But why bother writing the title again and again, when we can save ourselves this "trouble". Right-click on an open tab, select "Pin tab" and the tab will be securely anchored on the left side of the browser window. Compared to the others, it will be smaller and only marked with an icon, but shrunk just so much that we can still work with it. With this, we make more space on the screen surface and make it impossible to close the tabs after an accident, since the closing cross disappears from them. The tab will not disappear even if we restart the browser. You can remove it by reversing the process of attaching it.
