1) Better Browsing Thanks to Chrome Shortcuts
Hopefully, you learned some new shortcuts from this list! Now you don't have to dig through so many lists of options and click around wildly to navigate tabs. Of course, not all of them are useful for everyone, so pick a few and try them first. A lot of them are common across many apps (like the shortcuts for Save and Open), so those ones should be pretty easy to remember.
By the way, many of these shortcuts are quite similar to those used on Chrome OS. If you have a Chromebook or are thinking about getting one, be sure to take a look at our Chromebook keyboard shortcuts guide.
