Tip of the Week: How to Efficiently Use Chrome in Android

Businesses are Dashing to the Cloud. Is Yours?

Productivity is a huge priority in any business. This makes it crucial that all tasks can be picked up and put down as efficiently as possible. This saves your business time and money. With mobile browsing now playing a major role in most users’ lives, the version of Chrome for Android devices is a very utilized tool. With these factors in mind, we’re sharing tips on how to efficiently use Chrome in Android to make your use that much more productive.

How to Efficiently Use Chrome in Android

Continuous Productivity

Everyone takes a little while to ramp up their productivity, mainly so that they can get everything arranged and organized before diving in, especially if it is always an early morning routine. With so many tools now online, Google Chrome enables you to access them from essentially everywhere. Even better, if your desktop version was still active with certain pages, the Recent Tabs option in the Android version of Chrome could replicate them.

Download Pages for Offline Browsing

While mobile devices are incredibly useful, the occasional lack of connection you may encounter can put some of these uses on hold. Whenever your phone or computer is loading slow, this can be extremely frustrating. However, if you know that your connection is going to be poor later, you can proactively save certain web pages with the Android Chrome browser. By selecting Download (the one that looks like an arrow pointing at a horizontal line) in the three-dot menu while you’re on a page, you can save that page for later in the Downloads section. This could be a connection life saver, something we have found it to be in many slow connection locations.

Referential Search

Context is an important thing to have, especially when you are reviewing online documents and other materials. Android’s version of Chrome has a feature to work around this need. By highlighting a word or phrase that they need more information about with a long press, a user can generate a small tab at the bottom of their display that displays a search for whatever was highlighted. This tab can then be dismissed or opened as an additional page in the browser.
