谷歌浏览器(Google Chrome)是世界上最流行的网络浏览器之一，但它实际上比仅仅设计用于浏览网络的功能丰富得多。
Chrome几乎是一个独立的操作系统(operating system)，拥有自己的应用程序和管理结构(apps and management structure)。事实上，当谈到Chromebook(Chromebooks)时，它实际上就是一个操作系统(operating system)。
因此，您可能会错过该软件提供的一些更深入、更高级的功能。这里有五项高级谷歌浏览器(Google Chrome)功能，如果没有，您将不知道如何生活。
当得到分析是一件好事
Windows等操作系统（以及
Netflix等应用程序）都有用户配置文件。这意味着多人可以共享相同的设备或应用程序(device or application)，而不必共享相同的活动历史记录、偏好等。
Chrome提供了完全相同的功能，但出于某种原因，大多数人似乎要么没有意识到这一点，要么没有看到这一点。当然，人们不太可能共享设备，但这并不意味着Chrome配置文件没有其他(other)
用途。
使用配置文件的一种好方法是将一个用于工作，另一个用于个人使用。这可以防止您的个人互联网习惯弄脏您的工作计算机，并让(work computer and lets)您拥有可能出现在两种设置中的服务的单独登录信息。例如，您可能拥有工作和个人Office 365订阅。
访问个人资料再简单不过了。只需单击(Just)Chrome 窗口(Chrome Window and click)右上角的三点菜单按钮，然后单击(menu button)设置。( Settings.)
现在，单击管理其他人( Manage other people)。
在现在出现的窗口中，单击添加人员(click Add person)。
为您的个人资料命名并单击添加( Add )，您将拥有一个闪亮的新个人资料供您使用！您可以通过单击浏览器窗口(browser window)右上角的个人资料头像图标(profile avatar icon)并选择您选择的个人资料来切换个人资料。
借助多功能框的力量！
我们大多数人认为地址栏(address bar)是放置URL(URLs)的地方，但 Google 的地址栏(address bar isn)实际上并不是地址栏(address bar)！它的正确名称是Omnibox ，它是(Omnibox )Google 搜索(Google search)引擎的直接接口。
您可能已经注意到，您可以在Omnibox中简单地输入(Omnibox)搜索(lookup weather)词并直接进入Google结果，但很多人不知道您可以在多功能框(Omnibox)无需进入实际搜索页面(search page)即可查看答案。
Omnibox的功能远不止于此，但如果您想真正掌握它，它值得一读。
管理您的密码压力
密码，无处不在的密码，我们一个都记不住！
是的，密码是生活中一个痛苦的事实。弱密码很容易记住，强密码很难记住，而且真的没有人喜欢用任何一种方式处理它们。最好的解决方案是使用一个好的密码管理器(password manager)，但大多数人不会费心(t bother)，最终会养成不良习惯，例如在多个服务中共享相同的密码。
谷歌(Google)已经来救援，现在在Chrome本身中包含一个适当的密码管理器。(password manager)您可以轻松查看和查找已保存在Chrome中的用户名和密码，如果您需要恢复忘记的密码，这非常好。
最新版本的Chrome现在还可以在您在网站上注册或更改密码时为您生成强密码。这些密码也会同步到云端，因此无论您在哪里登录Chrome ，它们都会跟随您。
要访问Chrome 密码管理器(Chrome Password Manager)，只需单击菜单按钮(menu button)，单击设置(Settings )，然后单击密码( Passwords)。
在这里，您可以搜索您的密码，启用或禁用让Chrome 提供(Chrome offer)保存密码的选项，并快速查看您为哪些网站保存了密码。您还可以启用自动签名，这样您就可以登录网站而无需手动输入任何内容。
移动多个标签将改变你的生活
选项卡式浏览(Tabbed browsing)是一场绝对的革命，但管理你的选项卡可能是一件真正的苦差事。尤其是当您发现自己将它们一一拖到适当的窗口中时。
事实证明，从来没有必要如此费力地将每个标签分别移动到另一个Chrome 窗口(Chrome window)。如果您在单击选项卡的同时按住Ctrl键，则可以分组移动它们。(Ctrl )是的，当我们也发现时，我们也觉得很傻。(Yup)
静音网站以保存您的理智
网络充满了媒体财富，但它也可能是令人发狂的杂音(maddening cacophony)。弹出式(Popover)广告和其他不需要的噪音制造者可能会令人沮丧和分散注意力。更糟糕的是，在您打开的所有标签中找到罪魁祸首可能会很麻烦。
Chrome在这里以两种方式帮助您。首先(First)，正在播放音频的网站在标签标题中有一个小(tab title)扬声器图标(speaker icon)。因此，您可以快速查看哪些人正在通过扬声器播放内容。要快速抑制噪音，只需右键单击选项卡并单击静音站点(Mute site)。
请记住，该站点上打开的所有选项卡现在都将被静音，因此如果您真的想听音频，您可以反转该过程。
不仅仅是一个闪亮的名字
用户应该(should )知道的 Chrome 功能列表很长，我们确信我们也不知道所有这些功能。一旦您深入研究了Omnibox的高级命令，(Omnibox)兔子洞(rabbit hole)的旅程就会变得非常紧张，但那是另一天的故事了。享受！
5 Power User Features in Chrome Everyone Should Know
Google Chrome is one of the most popular web browsers in the world, but it’s actually much more feature rich than something simply designed to browse the web.
Chrome is almost a little self-contained operating system with its own apps and management structure. In fact, when it comes to Chromebooks, it literally works as an operating system.
As such, you’d be forgiven for missing out on some of the deeper, more advanced features the software offers. Here are five advanced Google Chrome features you won’t know how you lived without.
When Getting Profiled is a Good
Thing
Operating systems like Windows (and app like
Netflix) all have user profiles. Which means that multiple people can share the
same device or application without also having to share the same activity
history, preferences and so on.
Chrome offers exactly the same functionality,
but for some reason it seems most people either aren’t aware of this or don’t
see the point. Sure, people are less likely to share devices, but that doesn’t
mean Chrome profiles don’t have other
uses.
One great way to use profiles is to use one
for work and another for personal use. This prevents your personal internet
habits from ever soiling your work computer and lets you have separate login
information for services that might appear in both settings. For example, you
may have a work and personal Office 365 subscription.
Accessing profiles couldn’t be any easier. Just click the three-dot menu button at the top right of the Chrome Window and click Settings.
Now, click Manage other people.
In the Window that now appears, click Add person.
Give your profile a name and click Add and you’ll have a shiny new profile to use! You can switch profiles by clicking the profile avatar icon at the top right of the browser window and choosing the profile of your choice.
By the Power of the Omnibox!
Most of us think of the address bar as a place where you put URLs, but Google’s address bar isn’t actually an address bar! It’s proper name is the Omnibox and it’s a direct interface to the Google search engine.
You’ve probably already noticed that you can simply type search terms into the Omnibox and be taken straight to the Google results, but many people don’t know that you can do things like mathematical calculations, conversions, lookup weather, etc. in the Omnibox without ever going to the actual search page to see the answer.
There’s a lot more to the Omnibox than this, but it deserves an article to itself if you want to really master it.
Manage Your Password Stress Away
Passwords, passwords everywhere and we can’t
remember any of them!
Yes, passwords are a painful fact of life. Weak passwords are easy to remember, strong passwords are hard to remember and really no one likes dealing with them either way. The best solution is to use a good password manager, but most people don’t bother and then end up with bad habits such as sharing the same passwords across multiple services.
Google has come to the rescue and now includes a proper password manager in Chrome itself. You can easily view and look up usernames and passwords that have been saved in Chrome, which is nice if you need to recover a password you have forgotten.
The latest version of Chrome now also offers
to generate strong passwords for you when you sign up or change your password
on a website. These passwords are also synched to the cloud, so they’ll follow
you wherever you log into Chrome.
To access the Chrome Password Manager, simply click the menu button, click Settings and then click Passwords.
Here you can search your passwords, enable or disable the option to have Chrome offer to save your passwords and quickly see which sites you have passwords saved for. You can also enable auto-sign so that you can be logged into a site without having to type anything manually.
Moving Multiple Tabs Will Change
Your Life
Tabbed browsing was an absolute revolution, but managing your tabs can be a real chore. Especially when you find yourself dragging them one-by-one into their proper windows.
It turns out there was never a need to so laboriously move each tab individually to another Chrome window. If you simply hold Ctrl while clicking on tabs you can move them in groups. Yup, we felt pretty silly when we found out too.
Mute Sites to Save Your Sanity
The web is full of media riches, but it can also be a maddening cacophony. Popover ads and other unwanted noise makers can frustrating and distracting. Even worse, finding the culprit can be a hassle among all the tabs you have open.
Chrome helps you out in two ways here. First of all, sites that are playing audio have a little speaker icon in the tab title. So you can quickly see which ones are putting something through the speakers. To quickly curb the noise, simply right click the tab and click Mute site.
Just remember that all tabs open on that site
will now be muted, so if you actually want to hear the audio you can just
reverse the process.
More Than Just a Shiny Name
The list of Chrome features users should know about is quite long and we’re sure we don’t know them all either. Once you delve into advanced commands for the Omnibox, the trip down the rabbit hole really becomes intense, but that’s a story for another day. Enjoy!
