* Once you setup your printer using Google cloud print, you can print to it from anywhere.

i.e You can print to it from your mobile, other PC at work, or any other system that is connected to the internet.

3) Detach a Tab:

* If you have multiple Tabs opened, and like to detach a single tab as a separate Chrome instance, just drag the tab anywhere outside the browser, which will detach the tab and run it in a separate Chrome browser window.

4) Navigate Between Tabs Quickly:

* Use Ctrl+Tab to navigate Tabs one by one.

* Press Ctrl-1 to go to 1st Tab.

* Press Ctrl-2 to go to 2nd Tab.

* Press Ctrl-9 to switch to the last Tab.

5) Drag And Drop Downloaded file:

* Once a file is downloaded, you can just drag and drop the file (from the Chrome download window) to your Windows explore, or any other file browser that you are using on your system.

6) History:

* Press Ctrl+H or go to Customize > History, to launch the history window. From here you can search for a specific website from your history, delete all your history, or delete only selected items from your history.

7) Incognito  Secret Mode:

* Incognito mode is for private browsing, where Chrome doesn’t record your browsing history, download history.

* Any cookies that are stored during the incognito mode is deleted when you close the browser.

* You can launch incognito by pressing Ctrl + Shift + N or Settings > New incognito Window or right mouse-click on a link from a regular Chrome session, and select “open link in incognito window”.

* One of the practical use for this mode (apart from private browsing) is to login to the same site using two accounts.

For example, if you have two gmail accounts, login using the first account in your regular Chrome browser, and login using the second account in your Incognito mode on your Chrome browser. This way, you can be logged in to two gmail accounts at the same time on Chrome browser.

8) Display Home Button:

* By default if chrome doesn’t display the ‘Home’ button in the toolbar. Click on the ‘Wrench Icon’ on the right-hand corner of the browser to get to the “Customize” option for Chrome browser > Preferences (or Options) > Select the check-box for “Show home button in toolbar”.This will now display the ‘Home’ button in front of the URL field. Click this button to go to your home page quickly.
