Google Chrome- Google Basics Part 6

[@EntBrit]

Steve - you are just getting too slick. I have been following you for years and have learned more from your blogs, vlogs, videos, whatever you call this stuff than from anything else. But you are getting professional (I know you always were, but it seemed more amateurish then). Just don't get boring. Keep up the game.

[@miltonbrownrigg8409]

Thanks Steve. Absolutely love your Google "how to" videos. I always can't wait to action what you teach me.

[@bernardmcdermott766]

Great Video Steve, good to get a refresher course of Chromes many functions capabilities. I hope you keep these Google Basics series going into the future.

[@unionjack4228]

I'm loving these tutorials. A definite subscribe from here in the UK

[@vishaulmohabir4927]

Love this video. The way you explained everything was clear and it was easy to understand

[@marsoelflaco5722]

Thanks for all of your Google guides and tips. I was only scratching the surface. I had no idea how deep it could get, and it seems like it's only getting deeper. Be good!

[@tmpatklk]

Great video and tips. Thanks. I just went through and edited the text away from the bookmarks as you demonstrated. I think I go through the folder of other bookmarks and delete a bunch. As you say, we collect a lot and rarely use most of them. Farley looks totally comfortable in the video. Good for him.

[@ramonayuva3486]

I loved this video because it was helpful and because you're so easy-going and down to earth -- Thank you!

[@byrnesrus]

Love it! I always learn something new in everyone of your video tutorials! Thank you!

[@kentfaver]

Great Steve! Thanks - I use Chrome many hours a day - and learned a ton.

[@evolutionaryTom]

I've been using Chrome for years and learned a few nice tips from your video, Steve. Very informative, thank you.

[@thriftygalcollectibles]

I love your Google videos! I always learn a new trick! Thanks Steve!!😀

[@dannmarceau]

Thanks Steve, I am going to have to go back and watch the whole series, great information; and yes I nodded to the bookmarks question.

[@maekramer3691]

I find your videos very interesting and enjoyable. As a techno-novice I have been searching information on how to delete a name from the contacts in a Gmail distribution list WITHOUT deleting the information from all accounts that use the same contact list. HELP. Thanks, Mae

[@landmeterbeuckx4779]

again some great tips i didn't know about. Thanks Steve!

[@StevenDragoo]

I know a lot has probably changed since you did this video. Because I have several clients that may change (come and go), I created groups by right-clicking the + and keep a bunch of weblinks relevant to that client. But it seems that takes bandwidth. I guess I could create bookmark folders on the menu line that would have a similar effect but a little slower to access perhaps.

[@johntaylor1668]

Another in a great series of videos. Very accessible and even though I consider myself to be an expert user, there's always a nuance I hadn't thought about before. I did wonder if Farley the dog slept through all of it because he is an Internet Explorer user.

[@dottotech]

LOL I like that! He was dreaming of chasing Firefox....

[@gilboston20033]

Useful app that takes about 1/2 of inch space on the desktop is the Google website. On the top right hand side there is little icon called Google apps, click on that and we have all Google apps like, Gmail, calendar, google drive , photos etc. I dont like show bookmark bar because it takes some space.

[@b991228]

I’m a retired G-man (government employee) that had the problem that though my employer has become notorious for being incompetent in properly securing their networks they blocked Google Chrome because they felt it had poor security. What they didn’t do though is block the old Google bookmark site. At least I was able to access my saved bookmarks.

[@BoomerBlogging]

Thanks, Steve - just reviewed this again and it really has helped with my browser use and organization - all of which - has made my online life easier and more enjoyable. BTW I just started into the Mac world via the Mac mini. Forget intuitive ease of use, interesting GUI etc etc - it is all of that - but mainly - overall just really enjoyable? Not Windows bashing - I'm just saying that sometimes a change is as good as rest - including within the Cyber World.

[@nurjehankarim9787]

An amazing teacher

[@mikemakesmusic]

LastPass has become my bookmark manager. Hadn't even thought of that until the bookmarks section of the discussion. It was fun going into the bookmarks manager and deleting stuff...a walk down memory lane.

[@debclark6026]

Great video, Steve. Thank you very much!

[@MKTutorials4u]

I loved your tips. Thanks for sharing

[@landonpraught5958]

Thanks Steve I love chrome I use it a lot very cool.

[@robbien.3964]

Am going to redo my bookmarks after seeing how you’ve done yours. Farley looks so soft with his hair shaved down!

[@ronpatterson8172]

Great job as usual

[@incrediblewisdom7802]

Hey steve thank you for all your productivity videos, l learnt a lot from your videos and i keep learning all the time when I visit your channel. Could you make a video on Salesforce, how it works and why do businesses need sales force. Thank you.

[@dottotech]

I’m not sure I’m the best person to showcase salesforce, it is not a tool that I use, and it is so enterprise focussed that I’m not sure my perspective would be all that useful

[@incrediblewisdom7802]

dottotech Okay Steve, thank you.

[@richardtrump2544]

Good chrome overview, it's a good (if resource-heavy) browser. I just can't handle google's intrusiveness, so I'm slowly exiting the google ecosystem entirely. But if you like google, you gotta have chrome.

[@pierredeman66]

Learned something new and handy again. Thanks. :-)

[@tombridge3608]

just nodded about bookmarks...welcome back btw

[@BarryHershenfeld]

Thank you for the excellent presentation-as usual. Here's one suggestion for a follow-up Google Basics presentation. That would be how well Chrome works on an iPhone. I haven't tried it yet. Do the extensions come along and work? Is the speed comparable? Are there significant pros and cons?

[@dottotech]

Good suggestion! The bookmarks sync to your mobile browser, but not the extensions.

[@lisalaster1770]

Wow...I never knew that I could edit the wording out of the bookmark bar..thanks

[@jeffcoburn7287]

Loving your Google series. Any plan to do an overview of Google Jamboard? I've never used the board itself but have played around a bit with an app and think it has potential as a collaborative brainstorming space. The web version seems too basic right now.

[@dottotech]

No, it is outside of my budget! But it does look like a cool device!

[@CarlMalota]

Great video Steve. How do you get the menu bar to show up

[@MH55YT]

Thanks for the video.

[@patrickdepauw9343]

Hallo Steve heel leerzaam en kijk er naar uit voor de volgende tip's

[@TheJimilagro]

Thanks for your videos. I like them a lot. What do you think of the Opera browser? I like it’s VPN capability.

[@skorkes]

So many times I think I know all there is to know about something, and then you show me a valuable little nugget. Thank you for the deep dives! I do have a question about Grammarly. I really love it but am worried that it is too intrusive. I've heard they store everything you type. What are your thoughts?

[@dottotech]

It is stored in the cloud, so yes they do keep it, I understand the concern,and would not use it for anything sensitive or private.

[@amyevergreen]

Excellent thank you! My dog has the same bed 😄💖

[@dfxdfx5368]

Nice to know that I can leave just the icons on the bar, that will save a lot of room.

[@Just4UTravelWichita]

Mind blown again! {nodding head in shame of the oddles of bookmarks}

[@MH55YT]

Thanks for the video

[@richardloce7510]

Hello Steve, Great video just one question can chrome be used like FireFox where I sign into it and sync with any device I am on. Thanks Rich

Big advance chrome for me. Open different gmail accounts as different chrome app.

[@19Photographer76]

Good job Steve but now that you've reminded up about our 20 yrs worth of Bookmarks, tell us how to delete more than one at a time...!!

[@dottotech]

I wish!

[@SimpLeeBeth]

Great stuff, Steve...as always! 😆

[@SimpLeeBeth]

After reading some of these comments, I see you could have named this video "Chrome Declutter Tips." 😂

[@toddlohenry3900]

Steve, I'm so disappointed you didn't talk about managing users in Chrome! I think it may be the best feature -- especially for social media practitioners...

[@dottotech]

This is a basics series, multiple users I woudl say is a more advanced topic, but something I may take on in the future.

[@gregwatson8554]

Great video as usual. I have a question, slightly off topic. I have been experimenting with only using my Android Tablet and phone for the past 8 months. With the possible exception of doing this years taxes, I find it is working very well. I especially love the portability of the set up. There are definitely things I have yet to figure out, like setting up folders and filters in gmail on the tablet, but for the most part, it has potential. Have you developed a course for those of us looking to shift away from the laptop to just a tablet or phone with a data plan? I didn't see one addressing such a thing on your website. Cheers, Greg

[@dottotech]

No, I have not. interesting idea!

[@genevapriest6190]

I concur about a course on how to "live our computer life" using only our cellphone and tablet in an average person's life.

[@johnkummer7578]

Steve, I don't have the toolbar above the address bar like your example had but I also noted that you are using an Apple by the apple icon in front of the toolbar. Is this part of your apple set up for chrome?

[@dottotech]

No you should be able to turn on the Bookmarks toolbar in all versions of Chrome.

[@S.E.C-R]

I am a long long time Apple user, with the exception of Safari. For many years I used Chrome until they greatly improved Safari, I tried it again for a while, ended up loving it and ditched Chrome. But lately I have not been happy with Safari's performance, its gotten too slow and laggy for me, even with just one tab open I am constantly getting a message that its using too much engery, it slows or stops everything and irritates me greatly. Not having used Chrome for several years now, do you suggest I go back to it? Out of frustration one day I did redownload Chrome a few months ago, but havent jumped back into using it again, mainly becuase I dont want to go through the pain of setting it back up to my liking. What are your thoughts on Safari vs Chrome in 2019? Thanks!

[@patilhiralal594]

good information

[@gcc3996]

How do you get the browser menu bar to appear at the top of your screen? Having that would increase my comfort level exponentially. I've downloaded an extension called Proper Menubar, which has the tabs I expect to see, but only when I click on the extension icon. I've thoroughly enjoyed your series - thank you!!

[@gcc3996]

@@dottotech Thanks Steve; I saw this reference in my search, which seems to conclude that the hamburger or 3 dots icon - which opens a drop down menu - is the Chrome equivalent of a menu bar across the top of the screen. Which I was almost prepared to believe, until I saw your video. My quest continues...

[@thebibleproof]

Steve, it sounds like G Suite is not for for the average joe. Well I have G Suite $5/mo and it has awesome potential if only you can do a video on it, once its installed; how you would structure folders; naming conventions, tips and tricks. My goal has always been to go paperless for personal use and it seems G Suite apps have the goods. Some help on storing documents on Google Drive so they can be searched in Docs. How about it. I will take your advice and place a more detailed comment on the forums you mentioned.

[@MrSFPug]

Thanks Steve Another great presentation. I try to update my extensions by pressing the update tab on top of screen. I let it run overnight and my extensions did not complete updating. Is there a secret step before pressing update??

[@NCRoots2011]

Thank you so much Steve. I am like Dann below in that I need to go back and watch the entire series. Steve, can you help me. At the top of your browser left hand side I see the word Chrome, File, Edit, Bookmarks, etc. I do not have that and for the life of me cannot figure out how to get it at the top. What am I doing wrong?

i have a Question about referral links? can two referral links be combined together to make one link

[@akioozaraga413]

1. Chrome now has a feature to group the tabs and color code them. 2. They can also allow you to search directly to websites using the web address bar. 3. You can turn websites into applications for your desktop. There are also tons of extensions that I can vouch for like: Extensity- Easily Enable/Disable your extensions UBlock Origin- Helps Against Spyware and Adware on Websites The Marvelous Suspender- To suspend tabs that hog your networks performance Picture to Picture Extension- Let's you watch videos from a website while browsing other tabs. Volume Master- Increase your Volume up to 600% There are many more where that came from but that is basically my go to everyday extensions. My theme is Atom One Dark Theme.

[@dottotech]

Great share!🤩 Thanks Akio.

Hi Steve, I need a video about Messages, Googles text mess app, I just installed it today and it's awesome, but I can't seem to find out how to add a signature to my texts.

[@dottotech]

It is not available to me in Canada, sorry.

[@MichaelBishop2855]

@@dottotech I've come to learn that it's relatively new. So, you'll get it sometime, I bet. Big feature is that it sync's all your text messages from your phone to your computer. This is, or so I've heard, similar to something that iPhone users already have. I just got a new Galaxy S9 and the Verizon messenger+ no longer includes the feature of auto-forwarding my texts to my email. So, I've switched to the Google version to achieve almost the same thing. Today is day 1, so far, I love it. But, still, I can't find a way to include a signature (which I've been used to) and, since I use it for business I really need that. Maybe you can do a video on message apps and which one's are best????

[@grahamfarmer3493]

Very disappointed that I cannot set a Menu Bar at the top of the page. In my pc journey since 1998 I have always had this familiar work tool. The 3-dot icon opens a drop down menu which is clumsy and an extra click to use. Google is arrogant to deny a choice to chrome users. I shall continue to use Firefox until there is choice to use a menu bar in Chrome. What a shame as I've just enjoyed your Chrome Basics KZbin video and was considering to change. Unfortunately your chrome screen (from 4 years ago) looks very different to the current version of Chrome.
