5 Chrome Tools Every Advanced User Should Know
This video gives you 5 different tools that the Google Chrome Browser offers to every user, but rarely does the average viewer engage with it this deeply.
We have a look at how to customize your search capabilities by managing search engines via Settings, so that you can run searches of specific websites directly from the omnibox.
Then we set our sights on the Task Manager to control our CPU usage and how to speed things up for you in terms of processing by seeing what all of your apps, tabs and extensions are doing to your processing power at any given moment.
Next we look at our controls over what individual websites have access to on our devices. By viewing the site information in Chrome, you can view and manage all of the permissions for each website you visit. We also get a glimpse into the security of the webpage.
We then uncover the actual code of a website by using the Inspect tool. Using Inspect on a website lays bare all of the code running for the website and you can literally edit the code. This can also be useful for finding photos from a website.
Lastly, we see how truly customizable Chrome can be for an advanced user by looking at the power of the Search feature in Settings. The Search tool can lead us to any accessory or setting that we want to customize and control.
These tips are great for personal and professional devices. Obviously all of these tips work extremely well for any chromebook user, but really these are all settings and tools for the chrome web browser, so they will work for any device running Chrome.

And thanks to Usher and Sesame Street for the little audio clip from our home video. I do not have any permission to use their audio. Really we made that film for our home.
