Get Started with Google


Incognito Window
❱ There are several ways to open a new incognito window for
Chrome. If you have a Chrome shortcut pinned to the task bar,
you can right-click it and select New Incognito Window. You
can also click the Settings menu button at the top right of the
browser window and select the same. The quickest way to do it
however, is to use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + N. Content
displayed in an incognito window will not show up in your
browser history, nor will cookies be saved.


Chrome-Casting Your Screen
❱ Have you ever been browsing online and stumbled upon a
video, or photograph, that you want to share with those around
you on the big screen of your family TV? With the additional
purchase of a Google Chromecast
you will be able to do just that,
by casting content from your
Chrome browser, on your
desktop or mobile devices,
to your TV. The quickest
way to do this, on your
desktop device, is by
right-clicking on the
Chrome window
and then clicking on
“Cast”. On a mobile,
tap the Three dot icon,
top right of the Chrome
app, and tap “Cast”.


Chrome Keyboard Shortcuts
❱ There are several useful keyboard shortcuts for Chrome.
Remember that the browser window must be currently selected
for these to work.

Ctrl+Shift+N New Incognito Window
Alt+Home Load your Home Page
Ctrl+T Open a new tab

Chrome Task Manager
❱ The Task Manager is a useful tool to see how much memory
your currently open tabs and browser plug-ins are using. To open
the task manager, right-click the top of the browser window
and select Task Manager from the menu. Highlight one and click
End Process to stop it running. You can also press Shift + Esc as a
quicker way to bring up the Google Chrome Task Manager.
