Although I have a preference for Google Chrome (Google Chrome), I still have to be honest and tell you that it is not a good choice for everyone. Of course, it has the characteristics of fast startup and simple interface, but it may not be a good choice for friends who are used to the IE and Firefox interfaces. In addition, it is also a spendthrift, so 2G memory is its basis. Equipped, because even my 4G memory is sometimes unable to cope with it, pain and happiness is indeed a good description.
I have been using Chrome for at least half a year, and I have encountered problems like this. I would like to share some experience with you. If you encounter problems, you can try Google or check the official "Google Chrome Help", which will benefit a lot.
About shortcut keys
Chrome's simple design leaves more space for web pages, but this layout comes at the expense of saving a lot of traditional buttons and menus, which is why many friends are not used to Chrome. But Chrome's simple appearance hides a powerful heart. Being familiar with some shortcut keys can make simplicity and efficiency coexist.
The simplest tab operation: "Ctrl+T" to create a new tab, "Ctrl+W" to close a tab. Maybe many people complain about why Google Chrome does not restore the function of recently closed tabs. In fact, you only need "Ctrl+Shift+T" Ability to restore closed tabs and windows, and you can also do this from the "New Tab" page.
Sometimes you need to open an incognito window to access a web page. It is too troublesome to use the mouse to find it in the menu. In fact, you only need "Ctrl+Shift+T". Do you find it troublesome to view downloaded content? There is even a special plug-in to facilitate everyone's access. In fact, you only need "Ctrl+J" to view the history "Ctrl+H" and add the current URL to the bookmark "Crtl+D" ".
Listed above are some commonly used shortcut keys. There is no need to memorize them. You will gradually become familiar with them after using them frequently. Then you will find that browsing efficiency is increased by N times. Chrome allows users to rediscover the convenience of shortcut keys. If you also want to see advanced shortcut keys, you can check the list of Chrome shortcut keys for Windows, MacOS, and Linux provided by Google.
super address bar
Chrome eliminates the traditional dedicated search bar and integrates the search function into the address bar. When you enter a keyword, it will ask you whether you want to search by default. Right-clicking the content and selecting quick search is also a good choice. But what if I default to Google and want to use Baidu to search? Do I really have to manually enter Baidu and then search?
You first enter baidu in the address bar. Maybe you only entered two or three letters and the Baidu URL was automatically prompted. At this time, if you press the Ctrl key on the keyboard, does it turn into Baidu search? At this time, you can enter the content you want to search for. Chrome can not only determine the built-in search engine, but also automatically determine the websites you have searched for and automatically create a search engine. This feature was discussed in an article last June. Go to (Via), you can also refer to "How to perform a search in Google Chrome" for more search methods.
In addition, Chrome's auto-complete function is powerful enough. Most people frequently visit no more than 50 websites, so Chrome will instantly adjust the prompt URL based on your input. In most cases, it only requires no more than three inputs to quickly complete the process. access.
Data synchronization and backup
Chrome has relied on Google's huge advantages to implement the synchronization function very early. Now the synchronization function has supported the synchronization of bookmarks, plug-ins, settings, and forms. Due to various reasons, the first installation of synchronization takes a "long" time, and the longer time may exceed Ten minutes, the time will vary depending on the number of bookmarks and plug-ins you have, and incremental synchronization will be automatically performed later.
No backup? Yes, Chrome does not have a backup function. You can only export your own bookmarks. Settings, plug-ins and other content cannot be backed up. The tools provided by third parties before seemed not very easy to use. Of course, you may say that you can manually back up the "User Data" folder, but this data cannot be used across versions. In other words, your backup will be invalid if you change the browser version. Before you have a good backup tool, use the synchronization function first, although problems of this kind may sometimes occur.
Plug-ins and memory
The quality of Chrome's plug-ins no longer seems so far away from Firefox's, which has caused many users to start installing plug-ins crazily. Okay, I admit that I am also one of these people. When I installed the most plug-ins, I had more than 40 plug-ins. At this time, the advantage of Chrome's startup speed over Firefox began to shrink, and since Chrome's tabs and plug-ins both use independent processes, they are improving. While the stability is improving, my memory resources are being consumed rapidly. The task manager is full of "chrome.exe". Of course, the memory resources are also being consumed rapidly, and the CPU usage remains high.
After going through this nightmare, I started to clean up those unnecessary plug-ins and replaced them with WEB tools. Replace plug-ins that implement fragmented functions with a composite plug-in to achieve smaller system performance consumption. Now I have 15 plug-ins left, and the regular memory consumption fluctuates around 800M. Maybe this is still a big number, but it is suitable for me. There is no streamlined solution that suits everyone. You can have your own Subtractive selection.
there is none left? Yes, there is nothing more to add to everyone for the time being. In fact, this summary of my own experience is more like a moderate FAQ. If I recommend a friend to use Chrome in the future or he encounters some problems, I can It's really a good idea to throw this article directly to him.
