Customize It
- First enable the sync option so you will get your passwords, bookmarks (and in the future) themes everywhere. You can do it from chrome://settings/personal and click on Sync.
- Enable Tap to click – Go to: chrome://settings/system. Then click on the checkbox to set ‘tab as click’ – done.
- Extension that give you shortcuts to all the ‘flags’ and settings – I’ve wrote it because I wanted to have all the shortcuts in one place… it’s very productive to have them in one click.

- Open an ssh connection to the given host Y as user X.

Better Browsing

- The (one and only) File Manager – Ctrl+m (On chromebook you got almost 16G of SSD).
- Switch between different windows – Alt+Tab or press F12 and then use arrow key
