Surfing the internet has been a daily routine in this competitive
world.Do you surf the Internet like your grandma does, very slow with
everything you do, is by doing the hardest way of surfing the web with
clicks and scroll. Well, using the hacker tips below you can surf the
web like a pro.
1. Reopen the last tab that you accidentally closed.
Use Command+Shift+T for Mac OS and Control+Shift+T for Windows. This
works with Chrome and Firefox. This is perfect for when you’re comparing
products on competing websites and accidentally close the wrong tab.
2. Open incognito windows to simultaneously use two Google accounts.
According to Microsoft in 2011, the average person in the US had 3
email accounts; chances are, that number has only gone up since then. A
few years back, Google made all their products available to one login
username. This means you can use Gmail, Hangouts, YouTube and Drive with
the same username. What if your YouTube account and Gmail are on
different email addresses? Instead of logging out, use a incognito
window to be in both accounts at the same time. Use the short cut
Command+Shift+N to open a incognito window in Chrome or a private window
in Safari and Firefox.
3. Use password mangers so you never have to remember or type in a password again.
Password managers like LastPass and Mitro are great ways to save time
and frustration. Password managers work as a plug-in for Chrome or
Firefox. To use them, simply sign in to a website like Facebook or Gmail
and the manger will ask you if you want to save that password for
future use. It works across multiple computers so you can have the same
passwords saved at work and at home. Companies have the option of
setting up a company account so all passwords are saved with the company
and access to them is granted through the plug-in which adds security
to the network.
4. Use search function site: to search any domain specifically to find a page you lost.
Have you ever been browsing deep in to a website at work and found
something interesting that you want to share? Then later, you go back to
that site and cant find the path you took to access the page. Use the
search operator, site:website.com, in Google search to have google
search just that site. You can add a keyword after the operator to
narrow down the pages on that site.
5. In Chrome, leave a bookmark name empty to only display the icon and take up less space.
Is your bookmark bar in Chrome getting a little too crowded? Right
click a bookmark, select edit, delete the name field and leave it blank,
save. This will leave what is known as the favicon which is usually the
logo of the site. If you need more room on the bookmarks bar use
folders to further organize.
6. Use Adblock to filter out the advertising.
Sick of advertisements on your favorite content sites like Mashable
and Digg? Download the plug in Adblock to filter those ads out of your
browsing experience. There’re products available that block ads at the
network level giving you an ad free experience on any device in your
home.
7. Hover links to see their destination pop up in the bottom left corner.
Simply hover of a hyperlink in Chrome, then look at the bottom left
corner to see where the link will take you. This is good for browsing at
work and avoiding NSFW websites.
8. Hold command when you click on a link to open it in a new tab.
Want a link to open in a new tab but not sure if it will? Hold
Command on a Mac or Control on a PC as you click to have it open in a
new tab. You can also configure the scrolling wheel on your mouse to do
the same function on click.
9. Highlight a term or phrase that you want to search for in Google, right click and click “search in Google.”
Simply highlight any term or phrase, right click and select search in
Google, the Google search will open in a new tab, saving you some
clicks in the process.
