Why is Chrome Different? Chrome is just a browser until you sign in. Once you sign in you are now in the world of Chrome!!! All apps, bookmarks, extensions, browsing history, and settings will follow you on any device.
Things to Remember Always sign into the Chrome browser (Watch this video if you need help on how to log in to Chrome) Sync your data whenever signing on to a new machine Remember to logout on a public device
Things to Remember You can right click on an extension icon to “hide button” or “delete from chrome” You can have more than one account- easily accessible to the browser
Extensity Turn your extensions on and off based on when you need to use them. The more extensions you have on at one time the slower Chrome will run
