To get started, you need to open a new tab page and enter "chrome:flags ”In the omnibar.
Chrome's built-in full-screen mode is already pretty immersive, except when it's time to switch to another tab. Then you need to exit full screen mode, click on another tab and re-enable it. This can be somewhat shocking. An alternative is to find and enable “Immersive Fullscreen”. After restarting, a thin white stripe will appear across the top of your screen, indicating how many tabs are open and where to position your mouse to switch between them. This is similar to the behavior of the launcher when configured to auto-hide. When combined with 3-finger tab scrolling, users rarely need to see anything other than the content they care about.
While Chrome OS now has a dedicated window manager capable of supporting multiple windows at once, the platform started out as a browser that couldn't be windowed. While it's understandable why the change was made, some users were fine with Chrome OS working exactly as it was. It may not be possible to replicate the older version of the operating system, but users can still enjoy a continuously optimized browsing experience. Just search for "automatically maximize window". While some apps will still open in windows, such as Calculator and Camera, most will only open maximized from now on. The Maximize button will also disappear from the title bar, so it will be impossible to window these windows without resetting the flag to normal.
Chromebooks have a dedicated search key that displays an app menu with a search bar at the top. By default, typing in this box will show installed apps with general search results. To suppress these results, enable "Apps only search the app list". This makes it easier to launch apps, and since the browser's address bar also searches Google when a full URL isn't entered, it's already quick and easy to perform web queries.
Chrome OS supports switching between tabs using a three-finger swipe gesture on devices with the appropriate hardware. This feature comes out of the box, but there's another similar gesture that's still buried. Search for “workspace cleanup” to enable the ability to switch between windows using a three-finger swipe.
If you're not aware, Chrome OS is feature-rich, even if some of them aren't quite ready for prime time. It is generally safe to activate them without breaking your device. Do some DIY and feel free to share with us any other cool features you find.
