    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.

    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.

    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".
