Welcome!
to Ask Mr. Cloud. In this video I'll show you your way around the Google
Chrome Browser.
So open a browser . . .
I'm gonna open Chrome, you knew it, didn't ya?
type google.com
/chrome
or you can simply follow the link below this video in the description.
To download and install Chrome,
all you have to do is click on the blue button,
Accept and Install,
and off you go.
let's have a look around the Chrome browser.
Starting in the top left -
Chrome uses tabbed browsing.
This is a tab, much like a file folder.
To open a new tab
click the small plus sign here
and it'll open a new tab.
Show you your most visited websites,
access to the web store,
and there will also be a history down here below
after you've been to a few sites.
The 'Back' button will take you back to the page that you were at just before
this one.
If you click and hold,
you'll get a list of all the pages that you visited with this window.
and the 'Forward' button lights up and there we go.
The circular arrow is 'Refresh'. It will reload the page.
This is the address bar
showing you the internet address
of the page you're looking at. You don't even have to go to Google search,
you can simply
type your search term here
enter
and you're taken to Google. There you go,
with your search results.
THAT is handy.
continuing
The star
is what you click to add this page to your favorites,
to your bookmarks.
You can choose to add to the bookmarks bar, which will appear
just below the address bar.
I like to use 'Other Bookmarks'
just because it's not
always there, It's just cleaner that way.
just my opinion.
and to the right of that is this little wrench.
That is your control panel, basically.
Which you have options to open a new tab,
much like clicking the 'plus'
Open a new window -
a whole new instance of Chrome,
or
a new 'Incognito' window
'Incognito' it explains here,
"Pages you view in this window won't appear in your browser history or search
history and they won't leave other traces like cookies on your computer after
you close all Incognito windows.
Any files you download or bookmark you create will be preserved."
moving down
the 'Edit'
cut copy paste
'Zoom' is very good if it's small type
you'd have trouble reading it, you can click the '+' button. plus plus
It enlarges the entire page,
makes things easier to read
'Options' this is the key button right here Options.
'Options' is kind of the control panel.
You can tell
Chrome how you would like it to act in certain situations.
On startup,
you're offered choices of how
Chrome will appear when you open it.
'Open the Home Page' which is currently this page right here.
'Reopen pages that were last open' or you can choose to open pages of your choice.
you can copy and paste
right-click 'copy'
right-click 'paste'
and that would be the page that would
that would open.
Home Page
is what opens when you click the 'Home' button. Notice, up here, the
Home button
appears and disappears
when we check that box
and you can define what that home page is, any page you would like it to be.
Sync
here is key, under personal stuff
in the 'Options' tab.
Sync
is really a wonderful thing
for Google Chrome.
When you set up Sync,
If you have multiple computers in your house - you have a laptop, you have your
desktop,
your work computer -
use Chrome
and set it up to Sync
to your Gmail account,
your Google account, same thing
That's gonna share
share the bookmarks, share of the extensions, and Apps,
It'll be like using the same browser
that you sit down at your home computer with,
at work.
It's very, very awesome.
definitely definitely definitely set up Sync.
Google Chrome makes it easy
in this 'Browsing Data' tab here
to import data (from another browser), if you've been using, for instance, Internet Explorer,
and you're gonna change over to Chrome,
you can click the 'Import Data From Another Browser'
shows
which browser here
it'll take it from Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Toolbar,
and import
whatever you choose
makes it very easy, you can have all your bookmarks, just move them right over
i think you're really gonna like Google Chrome.
I know I was in love with it immediately.
Stay tuned for more
Google Chrome. We'll visit the Web Store next time and show you some of
what I consider to be
critical
extensions and applications.
Thank you for watching Ask Mr. Cloud!
