    holding ctrl and pressing "TAB" button lets you switich to the next opened tab ( Firefox, I forgot if it's on any browser ) . If you need to handle multiple tabs or open multiple links I recommend Multi Links + Firefox add-on, and Multiple Tab handler

    You forgot one, for fast web browsing. Instead of typing in the entire address into the omni box to navigate to another page, (E.G.) say you want to go to Stumbleupon it, most people type in the www and the .com. Instead simply type in stumbleuponit, then press control + enter and you're there. Control + enter automatically puts in the www. and the .com.

How does anyone use Google on there TV without a computer keyboard plugged into the TV? *Also* Sometimes at the internet cafe I get a Google Chrome homepage on the P.C I have chosen to use that doesn't have a link at the top for a download of extra security - How do I get the Google page like that to bring up the *Extra security download Tab*?

    For those who have the unique video code for a you tube video and were viewing it on you tube tv and want to switch to regular you tube viewing of the same video just copy the unique code which is right after the v= in the url and go to regular you tube and place this unique code in the search box. Voila your video which you were viewing is right in front of you and it's by itself with no other non related videos included and if you click on the video it will continue where you left off of from you tube tv.

    i searched up elvis presley bacon number and it says 2, but it says elvis presley appeared in forrest gump with tom hanks, even though he was alreay dead when that movie came out.

      lol! That is odd. Maybe he came back from the dead just to appear in Forrest Gump.

    That Google Tip calculator only seems to be available for google.com and in English. For German google and EUR as currency it's not working...

      That stinks! Google should roll that out to more countries.

      Sounds like things have been crazy in Venezuela lately. Hopefully the protests stop soon.
