Chrome is great at remembering passwords, but what a pain when it keeps suggesting the wrong one.

1 – How to Open the Chrome Password Manager on Desktop and Mobile

On Desktop the easiest way is to copy and paste this into the address bar:

chrome://password-manager

On Android or iOS tap the three dots then “Password Manager”

2 – How to Delete a Saved Password in Chrome

It will ask you for the DEVICE password (your normal computer/device login password). That can be confusing – you don’t need to know the website password to delete it – just the DEVICE password. Then click the three dots beside the saved entry and click remove/delete/trash-bin – it depends on your device.

3 – How to Edit a Saved Password in Chrome

Click the eye and enter your device password as before, but click the pencil icon (or the word ‘edit’) to change the password to the correct one.

4 – How to Remove a Site from the “Never Saved” List in Chrome

Did you tell Chrome to NOT remember the password and now you want it to?

Scroll down to the section “Never Saved” (sometimes under ‘Settings’ within password manager).

Find the site in the list.

Click the X next to it to remove it.

Next time you log in on that site, Chrome will prompt you to save the password.

5 – How to Manually Add a New Password to Chrome Password Manager

If for some reason Chrome is saving the one you want, you can always add it manually. Follow step 1; then click ‘add’.

Too many tabs? Too many windows? Too many devices? You’re not alone, find out how to move a tab from one Window to another, or one device to another, or move several at once.

1 – How to Move a Tab to Another Window in Chrome

Best for a quick fix on Desktop – just move the two Chrome windows so you see both of them at the same time, and drag a tab from one window to the other.

2 – How to Send a Chrome Tab to Another Device

Select the tab you want to move to your other device, then click on the three dots at the top right of the screen. Then “Cast, Save and Share” -> “Send to your devices”. Just choose the other device to send it to (you’ll need to be logged in on both).

3 – How to Move Multiple Tabs to Another Device in Chrome

Click on the first tab, and hold down shift and click on another tab. You now have multiple tabs selected. To move them to another device follow step 2 above.

4 – How to Move Several Tabs into a Different Chrome Window

Click on the first tab, and hold down shift and click on another tab. You now have multiple tabs selected. To move them to another window on the same device right-click on the tab and select “move tabs to another window”.

5 – How to Merge All Chrome Windows Into One

Click on the first tab, hold down shift and click on the last tab. Right-click on the tab and select “move tabs to another window”. They’ve all gone!

By default Chrome rightly focuses on stopping spammy windows and browser safety. But on some websites you NEED to see that popup – it might be a login or payment window.

1 – How to Allow a Single Pop-Up in Google Chrome

1. On your computer, open Chrome.
2. Go to a page where pop-ups are blocked.
3. In the address bar, click Pop-up blocked .
4. Click the link for the pop-up you want to check.

2 – How to Always Allow Pop-Ups from a Specific Website in Chrome

Go the same place, but click “Always allow pop-ups and redirects from [site]“

3 – How to Turn Off the Pop-Up Blocker in Chrome Completely

1. Find the Customize and control Google Chrome menu (three vertical dots) located in the upper-right corner. 
2. Select Settings -> Privacy and security -> Site Settings -> Content -> Pop-up and Redirects
3. Under “Default behavior,” choose the option to “Sites can send pop-ups and use redirects”

4 – Shortcut Tricks to Bypass Chrome’s Pop-Up Blocker

If its a link that SHOULD be working but you suspect its blocked, try holding down the Shift key, or the Control key, while clicking normally on the link. This sometimes bypasses the block.

5 – What to Do If Chrome Still Blocks Pop-Ups (Try Another Browser)

Sometimes you have to use another browser. For example one government website I use simply doesn’t work in Chrome, however silly that is. Try “the other browser” on your device.

Reader Mode in Chrome — sometimes called Reader View — is a simple way to strip out clutter, ads, and distracting layouts so you can focus on the text you actually want to read. If you’ve used reader mode in Safari or Firefox, you know how useful it can be. The good news: you can enable Chrome Reader Mode on desktop and Android, and if you’re on iPhone or iPad, there are workarounds too. Here’s how to turn it on step by step, plus what to do if you don’t see the option.

1 – What Is Reader Mode in Chrome and Why Use It?

Reader mode can be great at stripping out ads and simplifying terrible layouts.

You may be used to it from other apps and now you can’t live without it?

2 – How to Enable Reader Mode in Chrome on Desktop

Click on the three-dots at the top-right of the Chrome window. Go to “more tools” then “Reading Mode”.

3 – How to Turn On Reader Mode in Chrome for Android

Open Chrome.

Go to Settings → Accessibility.

Turn on Simplified view for web pages.

When you visit an article, a banner will appear at the bottom:

• Tap Show simplified view to switch to Reader View.

4 – Does Chrome Have Reader Mode on iPhone or iPad?

It doesn’t exist, but you can use Safari reader view instead.

5 – Best Reader View Extensions and Plug-Ins for Chrome

If its not working for you (perhaps you have particular visual needs) try a plug-in instead.

How to Reopen Lost Tabs in Chrome
We’ve all been there: you close the wrong tab, Chrome crashes, or you just can’t remember which device had that article you needed. Luckily, Chrome makes it easy to get your tabs back. Here’s how:

1 – How to Reopen a Recently Closed Tab in Chrome with a Shortcut

Hit Ctrl+Shift+T (Cmd+Shift+T on Mac) to reopen the last closed tab. Keep pressing it to step back through your closed tabs—or even restore your whole last session after a crash.

2 – How to Use Chrome History to Recover Closed Tabs

If that is not enough, then open your history with Ctrl+H. You’ll see everything from today (and before), searchable by site or title.

3 – How to Reopen Tabs from Another Device in Chrome

Other devices count too: Working on your phone earlier? Go to History → Tabs from other devices. Just make sure Chrome Sync is turned on.

4 – How to Make Chrome Always Reopen Tabs on Startup

Never want to lose your place again ? Go to Settings → On Startup → Continue where you left off. Now Chrome will reopen your tabs whenever it restarts.

5 – How to Restore Tabs After a Chrome Crash

If Chrome crashes, watch for the “Restore” button that sometimes pops up automatically. Nerd-level hack: Launch Chrome with --restore-last-session if you like command-line control.
