The Google
Chrome browser was launched in September 2008,by Google Inc. Since then,
the open source browser has been the front runner among all the browsers like
Firefox,Safari or Opera. The company has released 34 versions(34th Beta) of the
software in less than six years,with continuous improvements in each version.
Company also provides tweaks,add-ons or extensions for adding various inbuilt
features in the browser which you can turn on and off depending upon the requirements
that help in fast and safe browsing.
Here are
a few things that the you can do for a healthy browsing experience using Chrome
:-
1-
Extensions:- Though
the speed of any browser is badly affected by the annoying third party
extensions by which the users usually get carried away, still there are
extensions which are available at the Chrome Web Store,which make the browser
more reliable and faster. One of these is the Faster Chrome extension having
Endless Pages add-on . The extension loads next pages of websites
automatically,thereby saving the time of loading the pages.
2-
DNS Prefetching:-
The inbuilt feature of Chrome Browser,predicts web pages or URLs before you
completely type them either in the address bar or search bar. The option is
available under the section Privacy,which you can enable or disable depending
upon the requirement.
3-
GPU Acceleration:-
With the increasing trend of web graphics,the web developers have to add
additional features to the browsers to make browsing faster. One such feature
in the Chrome browser is the hardware acceleration technology for GPU that
accelerates the Graphical Processing Unit signals on web pages and hence help
in loading graphics including videos, easily.
4-
Release Cache Memory:- Every
browser observes a decline in speed after frequent usage,say of a couple of
weeks. The ironic reason behind this is the web history that the browser
automatically stores for faster browsing. You need to clear the cache memory
frequently for faster browsing.
5- Go
Incognito:- This
is one of the latest inventions that almost all other browsers incorporate.
This feature allows the users to browse in completely private mode and does not
allow any of the websites or malicious softwares(as add-ons or extensions) to
track you. All the web history,cache memory,search history is erased as soon as
you close the browser. However,the downloaded files remain intact.
6-
Miscellaneous Settings:-
The settings option lets you enable or disable various features in the browser
that can affect the speed of the browser. Some of these features include Automatic
Sign-In ,which
you can disable if you do not own any Google account,Multi -Lingual support,which you can disable if
you do not have any second language choice,annoying Automatic Update feature ,which can be disabled
to stop automatic updates of search engines or the browser itself.
The
Last Word:- For
any computer program to run properly ,it is necessary that the computer itself
is in healthy condition. If the computer is slow, then no browser can boost the
browsing experience even if you follow all the above mentioned steps. If you
have a healthy system,then apply above mentioned measures and enjoy fastest
browsing with the ever growing Chrome browser.
