Hidden Tips to make Chrome fast…


7. Disable Plugins

By default, when you install Google Chrome, many unnecessary plugins are installed and enabled. Plugins help Chrome process special types of content, such as Flash, Java, Silver light  or Windows Media files, but most of them aren't even important to your daily browsing. Plugins can slow down the performance of Chrome, but you can disable plugins you are not using.
To do this, type “about: plugins” (without the quotes) in the address bar of Chrome and press Enter.
NOTE: You can safely disable every single plugin, but you may want to keep Flash enabled, as a lot of sites use Flash to display menus, show videos, etc. Also, if you watch Netflix in Chrome, you need to keep the Silver light plugin enabled. You can always enable a plugin again if you need to. If you download videos from YouTube then you need to enable a plugin of real down loader. Enable Facebook video calling plugin if you do video calling usually.
A list of installed plugins displays on the current tab. Scroll through the list and click the Disable link for each plugin you feel you don’t need.
NOTE: Plugins cannot be deleted or uninstalled, only Disabled. An exception would be a plugin that was installed as part of an extension and you uninstall the extension. Then, the plugin is automatically removed. Disabled plugins turn grey in the list, and the Disable link for each disabled plugin becomes an Enable link, allowing you to enable the plugin again, if desired.

8. Disable Extensions 

Extensions are small programs available in the Chrome Web Store that add extra features and functionality to Chrome. They can be very useful, but if you end up with a lot of extensions installed, the browser’s speed may be negatively affected. You can easily disable extensions without uninstalling them to gain some speed. Some extensions install a button on Chrome’s address bar, and those can be quickly disabled by right-clicking on them and choosing Uninstall from the menu. You can also install apps in Chrome that are accessible on the New Tab page. These can also be disabled.

 

·         To access your list of installed extensions and apps

·         Click the wrench icon on the toolbar

·         Select Tools -> Extensions from the drop-down menu.

 

You can uninstall extensions with buttons without accessing this list, but you might be surprised that some extensions are in the lists that doesn't have a button. To disable an extension, click the Enabled check box to the right of the extension’s title in the list so there is no check mark in the box. The Enabled check box becomes an Enable check box, allowing you to re-enable the extension at any time. 

NOTE: You can also easily remove any extensions or apps you don’t want any more by clicking the trash can icon to the right of the Enabled check box. Notice that there are a lot less extensions on our toolbar now

Happy speedy browsing!
