Browser - Chrome
 
 

Google Chrome is a browser developed by Google. It was first released in 2008, for Microsoft Windows, and was later ported to Linux, Apple and Android. Google Chrome is also the main component of Chrome OS, where it serves a platform for running web apps.

As of November 2016, it is estimated that Google Chrome has a 63% worldwide usage share of web browsers as a desktop browser. It also has 51% market share across all platforms combined, because it's also the most popular browser for smartphones. Its success has led to Google expanding the "Chrome" brand name on various other products such as Chromecast and Chromebook.
 
 
 

Windows General (Part 1)
   
 

This month we take a look at three tips and tricks that you can use with all or most versions of Windows.

Tip 1 - Run Multiple Copies of Applications from the Taskbar

If you want to launch a second instance of a program, once the program is running, simply hold down the Shift key and click the icon in the taskbar. A second instance will launch. You can keep launching new instances this way.

Tip 2 - DIY keyboard shortcuts

Windows has a ton of keyboard shortcuts baked right in, but you can use your own to open the software of your choice.

Right-click the program's launch icon and select Properties. Open the Shortcut tab, then click in the "Shortcut key" field and press the key you want to use to launch the program. Windows will assign Ctrl + Alt + a key of your choice as a keyboard shortcut to open the program. It's a seriously useful trick, especially if you don't want to stuff your taskbar full of quick-launch program icons. Don't forget to click OK when you're done to save the shortcut.

Tip 3 - Old-school task switcher

Okay, okay, this won't cure any headaches, but it's just plain cool. By this point, most people know the age-old Alt + Tab keyboard command to quickly switch between open programs (and the desktop). But did you know the classic Windows XP-style task switcher is still hidden within even the latest versions of Windows?

Just hold one Alt button, press and release the other Alt button (while still holding the first one), then start pressing Tab to rotate through software like it's 2001.
