Today we look at must-use hidden chrome features that will make your life easier. These epic keyboard shortcuts will change the way you navigate the web.

Tip #1). Drag multiple browser tabs.

First in our Chrome tips and tricks list is to hold down the “control” button on your keyboard and click the tabs you’d like to drag. Then, drag your browser tabs with your mouse (the same way you would normally drag a single browser tab). And … wallah! You can now drag multiple browser tabs at the same time.

If you’re on Mac, instead of holding down the “control” key, you’ll want to hold down the “command” key.

Tip #2). Switch between browser tabs with keyboard shortcuts.

With this awesome trick, you will never need to use your mouse to switch to a different browser tab ever again.

To begin using this feature, hold down the “control” button on your keyboard (the “command” key if you’re on Mac) and select the number you’d like to switch to.

For example, if you’d like to switch to the first tab on your browser window, hold down “control” and select the “1” key.

If you want to go to the second tab on your browser window, hold down “control” and select the “2” key, and so on.

Tip #3). Scroll web pages with your space bar.

Everyone knows how to scroll a web-page by using their mouse wheel, or by dragging the scroll bar on the right side of a web-page, but an easier way to accomplish web-page scrolling is by using the largest key on your keyboard — the spacebar.

To scroll web pages faster, simply tap your spacebar and the page will automatically scroll down for you.

The “Space Bar”.

Tip #4). Zoom in and out of web-pages.

If you often find yourself adjusting the size of text on websites you visit, this is a must-use trick.

On your keyboard, hold down the “control” button, the “shift” button, and the “+” button, to magnify the text on any webpage.

And conversely, hold down the “control” button, the “shift” button, and the “-” button, to zoom out and decrease the size of text on any webpage.

(If you’re on Mac, hold down the “command” key, instead of the “control” key).
