The Google Chrome browser seems to be everywhere \u2013 I\u2019ve got it on my laptop, PC, tablet and phone. \u00a0It remembers history, bookmarks etc across all your signed in devices \u2013 handy when you were looking at something on your work PC, but just can\u2019t remember the website when you get home. \u00a0And surprisingly, considering how many features it has, it\u2019s free. \u00a0But are you using it to the best of its ability? \u00a0Here are some tricks to super-charge your browser.<\/p>\n

1. Create secure passwords<\/strong>
\nType the following into your browser address bar, and click Enable from the drop-down menu under the highlighted item. \u00a0Chrome will then suggest secure passwords for you when it detects a page asking you to create a password.
\n\u201cchrome:\/\/flags\/#enable-password-generation\u201d<\/p>\n

2. Check your spelling<\/strong>
\nAdd the\u00a0Grammarly browser extension<\/a>\u00a0to prevent any speling mistakes or typos on the internet. Great for ensuring all your communications look professional, without having to paste them into Word for a spell-check!<\/p>\n

3. Shhhh!<\/strong>
\nSilence those annoying audio adverts by enabling \u201ctab audio muting\u201d. \u00a0Paste this into your address bar and click Enable (requires a restart of Chrome)
\n\u201cchrome:\/\/flags\/#enable-tab-audio-muting\u201d<\/p>\n

4. Save data on your mobile<\/strong>
\nEnable the Data Saver to save those precious MBs of data for something good. \u00a0If you\u2019re on an iPhone, go to\u00a0Settings<\/b>\u00a0>\u00a0Bandwidth<\/b>\u00a0> turn\u00a0Data Saver<\/b>\u00a0on. \u00a0If you\u2019ve got an Android, it\u2019s\u00a0Settings<\/b>\u00a0> under\u00a0Advanced<\/b>\u00a0tap\u00a0Reduce data usage<\/b><\/p>\n

5. Make it pretty<\/strong>
\nAdd some scenery to your browser with the\u00a0Unsplash browser extension<\/a>. \u00a0It transforms your boring plain new tabs with beautiful high resolution photos, that are free to use in your projects.<\/p>\n
