20 Chrome Settings You Should Change Right Now! 

Thanks for watching! *TIME STAMPS* are included in the description for your convenience.

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.

Perfect! Wasn't looking for your content, but was the best Rabbit Hole I've gone down in a long time.

Thanks For All Your Videos.👍👍

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.

i wanna hear techgumbo's laugh

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.

Thanks so much

I've always wanted a Darkmode feature for blinding white screens. Thanks.

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

Thank you.

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👍

Thanks so much for this only just got around to viewing it, it really helped me out and v shareable bro, PS I WANT to hear you LAUGH.....

Thank you very much, TechGumbo! For a long time, I've been wanting a dark mode for web pages. Now I'm very happy!!🙂

thank you

Thanks pro👍

I would recommend my activity stuff and parallel download. Keyboard shortcuts and some other stuff

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".

Thanks. You're catering to day-to-day people

Any idea about "managed by you organisation" and how to get it back to being a single user... I am not an organisation.

Close to golden button man

thank you. I appreciate your help! 👍👍👍👍

Wow I am surprised that it worked, did work for you guys .❤

amazing tips, thank you

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!

Thanks for this video :-) 👍

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?

Man do unusual and cool sites again

Great video One question do the settings apply to the user logged into the Google account or the device where Google Chrome is installed?

Please do the same for Firefox 🙏

The emoji works everywhere when I press "Windows" + "." 😁

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

You speaking style sounds like watchmojo keep up the good work

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?

12:00 - you can use emojis on windows in any app by using win + . keyboard combination.

TechGumbo in 3:40 it doesn't let me toggle the switch on can I know the reason

The "Use secure DNS " option is disabled(gray out) in my chrome(it's the latest version of chrome)....!!???

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???

'Send to devices' doesn't exist on my W10 Pro machine running latest Chrome Version 85.0.4183.102 (Official Build) (64-bit) ?

doesnt changing ur dns slow down ur internet traffic? I think by default ur provider is the fastest?

brilliant, well presented.

Which emulatot is best for cod mobile game.

Hardened Firefox, baby! :-p

Regarding "Use Secure DNS", if i set a custom dns directly into my router, is this still necessary?

So if youre on a chromebook and you take off the one he left on an yu switch yo search does it still wrk

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!

There is no "customize" button in lower right corner of new tab? How do I get this?

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.

Can you make a video that change the quality when you dowload picture in chorome please

do one for Firefox

I don't have an emoji option & send to other device option in my chrome...

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
