Unlock the Power of Preloaded Pages in Google Chrome

Ever wondered how to make your web surfing as swift as lightning? 

Have you been searching for ways to enhance your browsing experience with Google Chrome? 

Here's a Cool Tip.  Change the settings in Chrome to Preload pages.

Preloading pages in Chrome is a feature that aims to make your browsing experience faster by predicting which pages you're likely to visit next and loading them in the background before you click on them. 

This can significantly reduce the time it takes for pages to load, especially on slower internet connections.

Here's how to do it.
  1. Open Google Chrome.
  2. Click on the three dots in the upper right corner to access the menu.
  3. Select Settings a
  4. Navigate to the Performance section.
    1. Here's a Cool Tip:  Enter chrome://settings/performance in the Chrome address bar to go directly to the setting.
  5. Find the Preload pages option and toggle it to On.
  6. For an even faster experience, enable Extended preloading to widen the number of sites that are preloaded.

A second here, a second all adds up to make your web browsing seem faster.

Preloading more pages means more data consumption, which could be a concern for limited data plans.

Remember, you can always turn it off if you decide it’s not for you.

By enabling preloaded pages in Google Chrome, you’re not just speeding up your browsing; you’re optimizing your entire online experience. 

So why wait? 

Activate this feature and surf the web like never before!

Use This Shortcut to Hide Your Browsing

Have you ever wondered how to browse the web without leaving a trace? 

Have you ever needed to log into multiple accounts at once? 

Or maybe you just want to surprise someone with a gift without spoiling the surprise through your browser history. 

Here's a Cool Tip.  Open a new browser session in Incognito (Chrome), InPrivate (Edge) or Private (Safari) mode with this keyboard shortcut: Control + Shift + N (Windows) and Command + Shift + N (Mac)

Here's how to do it.
  • Open your favorite browser such as  Google ChromeMicrosoft Edge or Apple Safari.
  • Hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys on your keyboard, then press N
    • For Mac, hold Command + Shift + N keys.
  • You’ve just opened an Incognito or InPrivate browser session.

Incognito mode, also known as private browsing, is a feature in most web browsers that allows you to browse the internet without saving your browsing history, cookies, or temporary files. 

This means that once you close the incognito window, your activity on those websites won't be tracked by your browser or saved for future reference.

Using Incognito mode has several benefits including that your browsing history, cookies, and site data, and information entered in forms are not stored on your device.

You can also log into multiple accounts on the same website simultaneously.

Chrome Incognito Mode

However, it’s important to note that your activity might still be visible to the websites you visit, your employer or school, and your internet service provider.

Adding a reputable VPN offers additional privacy protection.

That's it.

Google Chrome
Do you ever find yourself switching between different search engines to find the information you need?

Bing Chat AI now available on Chrome

Bing Chat
Have you ever wanted to use Bing Chat AI but didn’t want to switch to using Microsoft's Edge browser?

Or on a mobile device, you would have to use the Bing app? 

Here's a Cool Tip:  Bing Chat is now available using Chrome.

Bing Chat is a conversational AI chatbot feature for Bing's search engine. 

It launched in February 2023 and allows users to interact with an AI chatbot instead of typing search queries. 

Microsoft has recently announced that its AI-powered Bing Chat is now available on other browsers such as Chrome.

This means that you can now use Bing Chat AI on your preferred browser, without having to switch to Microsoft Edge or download a separate app.

Bing Chat has been available in separate Android and iOS mobile apps since late February,

 
Bing Chat Ai Chrome

Here's how to use Bing Chat in Chrome: 

  • Open Chrome
  • Go to bing.com
  • Click the Chat icon near the top-left of the web page
  • Type out your question or prompt and send it
  • Wait for a response, then respond in turn if desired 

This new feature is rolling out to users and platforms over the coming weeks.

While you can use Bing Chat AI on your preferred platform, the best service will be provided on Microsoft Edge. 

For instance, Chrome’s Bing supports five messages per conversation versus the 30 in Microsoft Edge. 

And Bing in Chrome has a character limit of 2,000, while Edge supports 4,0002.

That's it.
