Aren’t you satisfied with Google Chrome? It is no doubt the best browser when it comes to simplicity and usability. However, it can still **improve with the right hacks** , right? So, let’s discuss the handiest tricks for Google Chrome. #### Save data while browsing We normally don’t care about data usage while browsing the web over Wi-Fi. But what about browsing over mobile data? Oh, we count every gigabyte, right? If you believe the same, you can get [the life-saver extension from Google — Data Saver](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/data-saver/pfmgfdlgomnbgkofeojodiodmgpgmkac?hl=en). It reduces data usage by **optimizing web pages through Google**. What’s the catch? Well, it only works for non-HTTPS connections, so it won’t work for every website, but it’s still worth the try. In case of a doubt, you can click its icon beside the address bar and click **DETAILS** to see the data usage details. ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/8/4/8400db7ff940ec715608d8fa188fd2f56bd632e9.jpeg) #### Learn to scroll intelligently When one’s working on the keyboard, it’s unproductive to switch to the mouse — let’s say — to scroll the page in the browser. If you agree with me, here’s a set of shortcuts dedicated to you. You can **scroll the page down** by pressing Spacebar or the opposite direction using the combination: Shift + Spacebar. #### Check the running tasks If you’re experiencing tabs getting crashed or stuck — especially on a heavy page — then you can use the Chrome’s built-in Task Manager. It functions just like the Windows Task Manager and lists the **processes and their resource usage**. Click the three-dot icon **\> More tools \> Task manager** to check this tool. ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/0/b/0ba67f03a7e9b4be09ac791b360864ca311d9e77.jpeg) How is it helpful? A lag is usually caused by a process or a tab using too much resource (memory or CPU). You can check the tasks’ resources in the Task Manager and force-close a buggy process using the “ **End process** ” button. #### Restart without losing tabs Do you hate your browser for losing your tabs? Google Chrome has a quick trick that comes to your rescue while **restarting the browser with an active session**. Just enter `chrome://restart` in the address bar and hit Enter. And voila! You’ll see your browser closing instantly and opening again with all your tabs. #### Stop losing tabs ever again If you always lose tabs due to system crashes or restarts and the above trick is not enough for you, then here is a better one. Click the three-dot button and click **Settings**. Then, choose “ **Continue where you left off** ” under “ **On startup** “. Now, you’ll never lose your session when you close and open the browser. ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/a/7/a770837edb114365b0a1e30c4938016f09a8d3c5.jpeg) #### Bonus: [Play with the T-Rex](https://onehack.st/t/how-to-hack-the-hidden-google-chrome-dinosaur-game/159877) When you’re done working, you can **enjoy playing the classic game** of [T-Rex on Google Chrome](https://onehack.st/t/how-to-hack-the-hidden-google-chrome-dinosaur-game/159877). Just open `chrome://network-error/-106` in a tab. You must have remembered the game if you’re an old user of our popular browser. Even if not, it’s an easy game to start with, but it has its challenge — the game gets better as much as you play it. Hope you enjoy the dino game! ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/9/8/988d08cef93a7cf24b49ddb1d685fc053b20d84d.jpeg) That’s all about the tips and tricks. `(Source: hongkiat)` **Happy learning!**
