Well, to catch up, here are 10 ways to increase the speed of Google Chrome.

When the Google Chrome browser was first introduced to the public, it was a lightweight and fast program that amazed everyone with its speed and low system requirements. Several years have passed since then, and Chrome has quietly grown to version 14. Gradually it acquired more and more new functions, support for all the latest web technologies and turned into a real monster, the installation files of which weigh more than 80 MB. Of course, you have to pay for such versatility, and Chrome is no longer as fast as it was in its youth. However, “extra fat” can be easily removed and your browser speeded up using a few simple methods.

1. Follow the start page

Chrome can launch very quickly, that's for sure. However, restoring the last session or opening a heavy page when starting the browser can significantly slow down the start. Many applications try to set their home page to your browser when installed, so make sure that in the Chrome settings in the initial group settings the option is selected Open main page, which should be set to the quick access page.

2. Use a minimum of extensions.

Thousands and thousands of extensions for Chrome can significantly expand its functionality, make it more convenient and beautiful. However, do not forget that each extension runs in a separate process, which consumes certain, and sometimes quite significant, memory and processor resources. That's why review your list of extensions and leave only those that are really necessary. By the way, here you need to remember the ability of many extensions to work in the background, even after closing the browser. If you have a weak computer, you can disable this feature.

3. Use the default theme.

You can, of course, color your browser like a Christmas tree if your soul requires a holiday. However, for everyday work it is better to use the default theme. All extraneous graphics, and even more so animations, slow down the launch and consume system resources.

4. Enable experimental features.

Developers are constantly working to improve the browser, but not all new features have passed final testing. You can enable some of these features to speed up the program. To do this, type in the address bar about:flags and the Experimental Features page will open in front of you. You should pay attention to the following points:

• Overriding the software rendering list- allows you to use graphics acceleration even on older video cards;
• Process all pages using GPU- enables GPU acceleration on all pages, not just those containing relevant layers;
• GPU Accelerated Canvas 2D- acceleration of 2D graphics using a graphics processor;
• Preprocess from the Omnibox- background loading of pages when entering an address or search query.

5. Optimize your settings

Google Chrome has a powerful system of settings, some of which can slightly speed up its performance. Open Options and go to the tab Advanced. Here you can enable the option Predict network activities to speed up page loading, and also disable Automatically send usage statistics and crash reports to Google. If you are an experienced user and are not afraid of phishing scams, then it is better to turn off the option Enable protection against phishing and malware, which will somewhat speed up page loading due to the absence of the need to check the security of each address.

6. Disable plugins.

Modern web services can use the most different technologies, such as Java, Flash, Silverlight. Support for these standards is implemented in the browser in the form of plug-ins. It is far from a fact that you will use all of them constantly, but they do use system resources. So open Options, then tab Advanced, click on the button Content Settings and find the link Disable individual modules. Experiment with its contents, leaving only what you really need.

Let's look at several ways to switch between tabs in the Google Chrome browser.

Switching tabs using the mouse

This is the simplest and most common method of switching between tabs in our favorite browser. To switch to a specific tab, simply point the mouse at it and press the right button. That's all, there is absolutely nothing complicated about it.

Switch keys using a keyboard shortcut

This is the second way to switch. It is used extremely rarely, since it is much easier to do it with a computer mouse. But in some situations, for example, when the mouse does not work or is not there, this option can be very useful. Clamp CTRL+TAB and it will move to the next tab from left to right. If you run out of tabs, you will return to the very first tab.

To switch to the previous tab use the keyboard shortcut SHIFT+CTRL+TAB.

How to return a closed tab toChrome?

If you accidentally closed the desired tab, you can return it. To return a closed tab in Chrome, click Shift + Ctrl + T. Another way is to open a new tab and right-click on it and select “ Open closed tab”.

Recently, I have been trying to make my work at the computer as efficient as possible, i.e. fast and convenient. The reason is a catastrophic lack of time, I think this is familiar to many (it’s summer, you want to relax and bring the site to life, but no one is freeing you from work). I started with studying and continued. It's no secret that such keys work in many programs and Google Chrome is no exception. At the same time, I can say that hotkeys greatly facilitate the management of Google Chrome and save your time. I will describe some that I use myself.

If you accidentally close the desired tab, you don’t have to look for it in your browsing history, but use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+T, this way you can open up to 10 last closed tabs:

By right-clicking on the "forward" or "back" arrows, you can view a list of pages viewed in the current tab, or go to view the entire history:

To increase the viewing area, you can hide the bookmarks bar using a keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + B, the same combination will return the bookmarks to their place.

This will be useful for owners of laptops and laptops with small screens; you can also use the key F11 to enable (disable) full screen mode.

For owners of large (widescreen) monitors, it will be useful to increase (decrease) the page content using a combination Ctrl And + (Ctrl And - ) instead of + or - you can use the mouse wheel (while holding down Ctrl ).

Scrolling the mouse wheel while holding down a key Shift allows you to scroll the page right or left. Ctrl+0 returns the normal page scale - 100%.

By the way, the mouse wheel (middle button) is used by itself, not only for scrolling the contents of the page. Clicking this button on a tab (the tab itself, not the close icon) will close it. If you press it on an open page, the automatic scrolling mode will turn on, the page will automatically scroll in the direction of the cursor offset.

Many sites have a very useful, in my opinion, “up” button, which allows you to quickly return to the top of the page after reading the last one. If there is no such button, then God himself ordered to use the key Home .

And vice versa key End will easily move your attention to the very bottom of the page (this can be useful when writing comments).

Combination Shift+Esc will open the Google Chrome task manager where you can see how many resources an open page or browser extension consumes, and you can also close a virus page that itself does not want to close:

Ctrl+O opens a file saved on your computer in Google Chrome, for example, a saved page or, oddly enough, an MP3 file for listening without a media player directly in the browser (opens much faster than the standard Windows player, but only one file at a time). Although you can get by by simply dragging the desired file into an open tab.

And finally, the key F1 Opens Google Chrome Help in a new tab.

Well, that’s all about it, actually. Hotkeys And Google Chrome control.
