Some Handy Web Browsing Tricks

How many times do you open a Web Browser ??? Many a times, I am sure.
We have collected some of the "You Should Know Them" browsing tricks that will make your life easy.

Most of them would be known to you if you are a TechGeek ! ;)

Automatically add www. and .com/.net to a URL  

You can save a couple of seconds typing in a URL by simply click CTRL + Enter after you type the name of the site. Need .net instead of .com ? Press CTRL + Shift + Enter instead.

Jump to address bar 

There are a number of ways to jump right to the address bar from anywhere in browser. Pressing CTRL + L, F6, and ALT + D all accomplish this goal. You can test it right here.

Bring back a closed tab 

Accidentally closed a tab? Simply press CTRL + Shift + T to reopen the most recently closed tab and get back to what you were doing.

Use private browsing 

The uses for not having cookies and history saved are obvious for certain activities, you know, like online shopping for gifts or performing online banking etc on a shared computer (of course!). Pressing CTRL + Shift + N will launch a new private in Chrome, CTRL + Shift + P will do it in Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Cycle through open tabs 

Pressing CTRL + TAB while in a browser will flip between each one. This can be much faster than moving the mouse and clicking on a tab. CTRL + NUM (1, 2, 3, 4, n..) will also take you to certain tab in that numeric order.
