In the past, I’ve shown you how to maximize the use of the “Windows” key, some other great shortcuts to help you breeze through your daily use and more. Now I’ll show you a few tricks that will help you make the most of browsing the internet, like searching for images, using your browser’s tabs and more! |
1. When you type an address in your browser’s address bar, you can save time and just write the main address, then hold Ctrl and press Enter. This will complete the address with ‘www’ at the start, and ‘.com’ at the end. |
