Open Multiple pages at startup
You can get Chrome to open several pages as it starts up, giving you instant access to whatever sites and services you prefer to start your day with.
It’s easy to setup. Just click on the wrench icon on the top right of your browser window, select “Options” and under the “Basic” tab check the box where it says “on startup… open the following pages.”
If you click “Add” it brings up a list of recently browsed sites to choose from, or you can manually enter a URL in the box at the top.
Add a Home Button to the Toolbar
Chrome use a sleek design, but there are some users who just need a button to click and go “home”.
Adding a home button to Chrome is simple — just click on the wrench icon at the top-right, select “Options,” and under the basic tab you’ll see a check box for “show Home button on the toolbar.”
Carry out calculations in the OmniBox
In addition to being a URL bar and a search field, Chrome’s “omnibox” is also a basic calculator. Instead of loading up your computer’s calculator, Google or Wolfram Alpha, you can just type your mathematical query into the omnibox and the result will show up where you’d normally see auto-suggestions.
Beyond simple sums, this also works for unit conversions like feet-to-meters, pints-to-liters, etc,.
