Google Chrome is a kinetic web browser crafted by an energetic group of Google developers. According to data presented by W3Counter in October 2019, 57% of internet users are relying upon the agile features of Google Chrome to search for information for them.

  • Easy drag and drop
  • Multimedia support
  • Keyword command
  • Hidden video game

When Mickie discussed this dilemma with his programmer friend Jake, then he immediately solved his problem.

Jake: Dude, why are you behaving like a mad person to locate your previously opened email?

Mickie: Jake, you have no idea how many tabs I have opened to research material for my next blog on global warming that now I can’t find the important email which my client has sent me. I’m stuck, dude.

Jake: You are being overdramatic for no reason Mickie. You are using the Google Chrome browser, right?
