Here we take a look at ten cool browser tricks that’ll help you use the internet like pro.
1. Reverse Image Search
If so, try out Google’s reverse image search.
Head to images.google.com and either click the camera icon in the search bar or drag and drop an image from your computer.
2. Turn Your Browser Into a Text Editor
Save this code as a bookmark and you’ll be able to use your browser’s window as an on-the-fly notepad:
data:text/html, <html contenteditable>
It can be done off-line too.
(Note: You cannot save your notes, so don’t accidentally close the window before you’ve copied your text to a more secure place.)
3. Use Google.com
“NCR” stood for “No Country Redirect” – it allowed you to search the US-version of Google without being redirected to your local version.
The feature still exists, just head to Google.com and look for the Use Google.com link in the bottom right-hand corner.
ALT + Tab is one of the most common keyboard shortcuts on Windows, it will let you flick between the various programs that are currently open.

On Chrome and Firefox you can also use Ctrl + 1-8 to jump straight to a tab, with the number used corresponding to the order of tabs on the top of your screen.
“Cache” can refer to many things in computing, but in internet terms it applies to the temporary storage of web pages and images; it helps to reduce bandwidth usage, server load, and lag. Sites can be loaded from the cache as long as certain conditions are met.
Sometimes, a cache can get corrupted. If this is the case, you can easily delete the cache and reload the proper version of the page by hitting Ctrl + Shift + R.
