Omnibox is the search tab in Chrome. It directly allows you to browse for things by entering words. You can also customize your search by directly searching in the site only. For example, you want to see everything that frizztech ever wrote about Google Chrome, all you will have to do is type ‘Google Chrome:frizztech.
5. Search a word
Sometimes it so happens that we might not know the meaning of a particular word or term, for finding that out all you got to do is select the word and right click on it. A drop-down menu will open with the second option as “Search Google for the highlighted word”.

While researching we have to keep shifting between different tabs. For this, there is a simple shortcut. Hold the Control button and press 1,2,3… you can do this 9 number of tabs. In case you have many tabs, all you got to do is hold Control+ Tab. This tip will help you toggle freely through the Chrome window without using your mouse pad.

When you find a page that you frequently want to visit, just highlight its whole URL and drag and drop it to the Star button on the Search tab. This will directly save the URL to your Bookmarks.

Chrome has the option of changing the theme of your browser. While for some it is unnecessary for others it is important the browser is dark in colour. Most of the themes are free of cost and are available in the Chrome web store.
