• Android users: go to the google.com page and enter the words "find my phone" in the search bar. This will take you to the Android device manager, which will require you to sign in to your Google account, and select the device you are looking for. If the phone is switched on and has good reception, its location will be displayed on a map. At this time you can also block the device, make it sound for 5 minutes in a row, or delete all stored information.

In these cases, the solution is very simple: keep the Ctrl + shift + T keys pressed, and the last window you closed will automatically reopen. If you repeat this command you can even open windows that were the last to close.

#8. Fix a tab

If you are using several windows at the same time and are afraid to close some by mistake, you can use the Chrome menu to "fix the tab", so that it takes up less space and saves the page address.

• To fix a tab, click on the tab with the right button, and select the option "Fix tab".

• To deactivate this function, click again with the right mouse button, and select the option "Cancel tab fixation".

#9. Control the security of a website

If you do not trust a page or think it may be a malicious site, Google gives you the option to control its security levels. To do this, copy this link http://google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=wwwhatsnew.com/&hl=en and paste it instead of the address of the page you want to analyze.

#10. Do not you know how to pronounce a word?

The Google translation service is an excellent tool to get out of trouble when we need the meaning of a word in another language. In addition, to translate words into different languages, this tool also has the ability to read a sentence to show you what the correct pronunciation is.

#11. Explore the space

Most people know the service "Google Earth", a program that allows you to see anywhere in the world, through the use of a digital photograph. However, now we also have "Google Sky", a service that allows you to explore the unknown universe. Click here to visit the site.

Did you know that to enter a web page it is not necessary to write the complete address? To enter a website, in modern browsers, it is sufficient to enter the name of the page, followed by the word ".com" (for example: google.com instead of www.google.com). Another trick is to enter just the name of the page (for example, Google) and press the "Ctrl" and "Enter" keys to add the "www." And the ".com" automatically.

#13. Use Google as a timer

If you need to control the cooking of a cake or arrive home on time to watch a movie, you can use the Google timer to set an alarm. If you enter the word "timer" in the search engine, you will automatically see a window where you must enter the time you need.
