Let’s face it, there are some very good web browsers on the market today; Microsoft’s IE, Apple’s Safari and Google’s offering; Google Chrome.  Chrome is rapidly becoming one of the most widely used browsers across the globe and for good reason.

One of the cool things that make Google Chrome the most loved browser all over the place, is the extensive variety of things that users can add to the browser to augment efficiency as well as effectiveness of browsing the Internet. There are approximately thousands of extensions and Google applications that may be installed easily for absolutely no cost whatsoever. Personally, I use a Chrome and Safari and find both to be awesome browsers. I’d like to share a few tweaks that you can do to your browser so that you will make Internet browsing more suitable to fit your needs and requirements.

Chrome Tweaks

Lights Out At The Movies

If you love watching content on your pc/laptop through your browser then Turn Off The Lights is a great extension to have. The entire page will be fading to dark, so you can watch the video as if you were sat in the local cinema.  Just one click on the lamp button, the page will be fading to dark. And then automatic focus is to the video. If you click again, the page will return back as normal!

Pocket Saves Files For Later

Pocket is a Google extension that will allow you to save links to articles, photos and videos, which you see today and want to continue reading or watching later.  With Pocket installed, you can easily click on the extension icon and have access to the files that you saved at an earlier point in time.

Change Your Browser Theme

Chrome has many great and free themes ready for you to install. If you do not want to have the classic Chrome look, then you can browse from among the multitude of themes categories on the Google Chrome Web Store. When you have found one that you love, simply click install and watch it transform the appearance of your browser.

Budding Writer? Then You Need To Install Writebox

Writebox is a perfect application for anyone who loves to write. It is a simple, clean and easy to use application that allows you to type and create documents on your web browser. There is also a sync feature, which allows you to save your document in your cloud storage facility or saved directly on to your computer.

So there you have it, a few simple suggestions to make your Chrome experience a little better.  Enjoy.  As always, if you would like to leave a sensible comment, then please do so in the comments section below.
