My Tip: Get more bookmark shortcuts on your Bookmark Toolbar, RIGHT-click on the Icon to open a new window, click "EDIT" and then completely remove/delete the Name. This way, it will ONLY show the ICONS on the bar without the name. Not only is it a cleaner minimalistic look and feel but you can also PACK more shortcuts on the toolbar now so it's more productive.
Great video, thanks for sharing these useful tip and tricks, time stamps are especially helpful because I'm not very computer literate and sometimes have to re-visit suggestions. 🙂
Hi. Can only go with all who praised your vid. Excellent presentation. Seems everyone else has a time shortage, cause their cursers moves across the screen at the speed of light, and very rushed explainations. I'm a new guy on the block. Much appreciation. Wayne.

Brilliant video TechGumbo, loads of excellent info - gonna have to rewatch it many times! I'd already done the 'auto-delete activity' one, I've now done the 'home button' & 'stop apps running in the background' ones... frustrated that the 'use secure DNS' option isn't available on my Chrome browser, maybe it's because I live outside the US.
Very helpful, but no time to write them down and my memory is not that great at times. Guess I'll save this particular site so I can find it again. Thank you
I believe we should use ecosia and ocean hero. Because it's not like they've accounts so they can't keep much , plus for simple searches they're useful. Otherwise complex searches, Google is the go to guy
cool!I'm using suspicious site reporter! 🙋♂️because I care a lot about data security on nearly all my devices it's super important I also got vpn proxy master on my chrome to hide my ip etc. nice video👍
Hey guys if you can't click "Use secure DNS", it's probably because you (or some malware) modified chrome's registry. If you click the three dots at the top right hand corner you'll see "Managed by your organization" at the bottom. All you need to do is delete any registry (backup first) until chrome is left with the "(Default)" value. Then the "Managed by your organization" message will be gone and you're now able to enable "Use secure DNS".
I'm trying to follow you on your video and do things as we go along. I don't have a provider for Chrome on the Chromebook so could that be why I'm not seeing any information on DNS?
There are 3 reasons I personally don't use the Google Chrome browser. First, it's a system hog. Second, it doesn't have a built-in bookmarks sidebar, which users have been begging Google to add for years. And third, with the exception of RU-vid, I stay away from as many snooping Google products as possible. I highly recommend Vivaldi.
Surprised you didn't turn on 'Do Not Track' Another feature that should be enabled by default. I never noticed the DNS options before, thanks for the heads up!
Some of my settings are showing as 'managed by my organization'. This is true as I logged into Chrome on my work laptop, which I have since returned as I no longer work for the company. How do I remove their authorization to manage my settings?
Send IT & Accts. Receivable & HR & PR a "bill" or "demand notice" for about $5,000. Use the payment they send to buy a nice new laptop, and a cup of coffee ☕! 😉
On my Chrome browser, your final points, like Send to Device, Customize aren't don't show up on mine. I'm using the most up to date version also. Any ideas why, or how I can gain those features? Thanks
Why oh why does Chrome delete the url field when I tap into it? How do I get it to just highlight the url, which then gives me the option to delete it vs. simply edit it?
Help! I followed all your instructions. Now when I go to the search bar in Google, it brings up past searches. I click the "x" to delete those searches, but they come back. I can't get rid of the searches. I want to get rid of past searches. What did I do wrong???
I only have one problem with chrome settings, it's an android problem I face everytime it always says "this page loads too much memory" then I have to reload the page and it is so annoying. Can someone help me
The MYACTIVITY setting 0:50 was turned off when I looked at it. (May have taken someone else's advice a while ago.) Haven't had any issues. Sync seems to work okay, although Maps might not capture info from one device to another. No big deal. Why should I turn it on?
Hey man can you help me. ZERO info online to an insanely annoying new chrome desktop feature where everytime I search, google auto scrolls down to the new feature that is a pop up that says "Show more like this" beside the 3 dot "about this result" Beta thing beside each search. Show more like this new feature is beside the 3 dot feature on everysingle result. i know its function but how can i stop it from auto scrolling every single thing i search on google, its insane!
Amazing video, but, I have a problem, why Chrome change my icon web site?, example: when open Chrome in the star menu, and show me the icons page, RU-vid image is the other page recently open, I can't fix this problem, help me please, greetings.
ON Use secure DNS This setting is disabled on managed browsers - How do I fix this?Mine is grayed out. Update: I found out that my issue was caused by Last Pass
