8 secret features that Google Chrome offers
Google's web browser includes many features that users have no idea about. And we've picked eight of them that may not only delight you, but also make your work routine more efficient.
Internet speed test
The Chrome Internet Speed Test works through Measurement Lab, and you trigger the action by typing "speed test". Then all you have to do is press the button and run the test.
Information synchronization
Google Chrome allows you to sync information to all the devices you use it on. However, there is one major catch, the information you share is stored by a third party and sent to the cloud, which may not be the best news for some users.
Guest Mode
If you want to surf the internet anonymously, most of you will definitely open an anonymous tab. However, much less well known is guest mode, which can look like classic anonymous mode at first glance.
While, but the classic one doesn't store any data on your computer, guest mode works as if you've never logged in to a browser before. In addition, other things associated with the user profile, such as the whisperer of previously visited sites and so on, do not work in guest mode either.
Sports results
Are you a sports fan? Then you might be interested in a feature that, when you enter a football team, displays information about its current position in the table or the results of played and scheduled matches.
Breath Calming Tool
Correct breathing can help you not only to relax, but also to filter out stress and clear your mind. There are a plethora of apps on smartphones today that can help you with breathing exercises or you can type the phrase "breathing exercise".
Chrome will then show you a one-minute breathing exercise at the top, which you just tap to start the breathing exercise.
Find your phone
The phone search function is invoked by entering the command "find my phone". Once a connection is established, you will see a map with its location. In addition, you can use the displayed button to ring the phone - in this case, it will ring even if it is on silent mode.
QR code
While it used to be necessary to have a special add-on installed in the search engine that could work with QR codes, it is now part of it. Just look at the URL bar and click on the square on the right. This will bring up the option to scan or download the QR code page for further use.
Fun and Games
Google's search engine has also thought of anyone who needs to unwind during work stress in a way other than properly set breath. With this, all you have to do is type pishquarks, Pac Man or Snake, which will open a gateway to some oldie but goodie fun.
