Chrome Settings You Should Change

[@klebleonard]

the first thing you should change when it comes to chrome is chrome itself, replace it with either firefox or brave, or any other open source web browser, whether its based on chromium or gecko

[@obr7]

Why?

[@mikemainer3009]

​@obr7. Obtuse much? Guess you haven't noticed all the exploits that happen to Chrome, its constant need to be updated to plug this porous browser and it's contant badgering for you to log into your Google account so it con subject you to Microsoft spyware.

[@RexRay-ez5zk]

ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. GOOGLE PRODUCTS ARE KILLER OF PRIVACY 😂

[@klebleonard]

@@obr7 as the guy before me said, google products are killers of privacy, try brave

[@martinchristensen2307]

I would like to see a tutorial on the brave browser about best settings for security and privacy. Great job Britec. Love your tips.

I’ve noticed that any Chromium browser automatically set reload and sleep tab settings if you’re not using that page while working on other pages. Even, turn off the sleep tab on the performance setting it is still not working. The pages that are not in use for a while get reloaded. Also, I’ve checked the flags, but it’s still not fixed at all. On the other hand, Firefox will never automatically set the reload and sleep tab settings if you don't use the page. For example, if you watch a video and pause it for 1 hour or more, they automatically set reload and sleep tab settings.

Good one Brian but I use the Brave browser which as you know is Chrome based is there any settings in Brave that I should enable or disable?

[@US_Joe]

As always great overview Brian. I never dug this deep into so many settings. Very helpful my friend - Thank You 👍👍👍

[@Britec09]

Glad it was helpful!

We could do with a Catch 22 button that turns everything off! ("Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you.") I use Chrome because it syncs my PC with all my Android tablets, so I'll be replaying this video a few times. 👍

[@Nick41622]

Brian, I knew all of this. If there is one thing I know it's my way around Chrome.👍

[@ImPureBlood]

Is there a easy way to turn Chrome updates off? Thanks.

[@aesthete_xo]

i watch your videos daily. very helpful. tq

When it comes to spelling, I always make sure that my language setting is for UK English, as the US spelling is dreadful.

[@franciscohorna5542]

all of this works with windows 10 also right great video!!!

[@billyguthrie3176]

Can you do a video showing which flags from the chrome flags page improve performance, page load, and redering please!

[@KevinMiller-yh6gf]

I would like to see a set up for Firefox.

[@nostudion1037]

[@johnsenchak1428]

Javascript by it's self is pretty safe, it's when it's used with a .js file that goes to a server that downloads malice code

[@michaelmonstar4276]

What's with all the spaces? ...

[@dennislaplant95]

Another fantastic video! Can you do a similar video for setting up a new Chrome install on an Android smartphone?

[@Britec09]

I see what i can do

[@DimpieDeBruyn]

I can't get that password manager to work ... importing from Firefox or importing from a saved csv file, brings nothing across. 😡 .. the damn sync is also paused every single time I open Chrome ... meaning I have to sign in again to resume ... close and open and again it's foooking paused 😡

[@timlangley8926]

firefox please

[@bowdoin5063]

I changed the only setting that matters, I don't use chrome

[@da_hood_bg8299]

[@Britec09]

[@warbync]

[@US_Joe]

'av a pint on me mate

[@Britec09]

Thanks for the donation 🍺

[@truthreigns7]

Remove Chrome completely. I do not recommend Brave since they support Pride and that life style.

[@guycn1]

Are you a frustrated homophobic moron?😂

[@mikemainer3009]

Good grief, why the heck would anyone recommend you log into your Google account when using Chrome and subject yourself to Microsoft spyware. As such, this video and its channel gets am immediate thumbs down and fail.

[@EIRE55]

That's because not everyone has the same knowledge as yourself, Mike. There are many users who have no idea about the pros and cons of whatever systems they use, so Brian's advice is very helpful to those who rely on just the basics.

[@KelticLad]

thanks for sharing....! love these videos 😜

[@markspc1]

This video sounds like an advert for google chrome

[@EIRE55]

It's helpful to those who use Chrome, as not everyone has a great deal of knowledge about the various browsers, programmes, etc, which are available to them. No-one's perfect, you know. Stay well.
