10 Chrome keyboard shortcuts you absolutely should know

Ctrl + Shift + T saves my bacon daily.

Alot of people know keyboard shortcuts exist—but they also never use them. After all, using Chrome is easily done with a mouse or via a touch interface.

But when you’re on a laptop or desktop PC and already furiously typing away, don’t count out the value of those keyboard shortcuts. Tapping a few keys is usually much faster. The extra few seconds (or more) reaching for your mouse and clicking around adds up. The wear and tear on your hands, wrist, and elbow takes a toll, too.

You don’t have to give up your mouse or touch screen entirely, but adopting these 10 Chrome keyboard shortcuts into your daily routine makes life much smoother. Can’t instantly memorize them all? Try for at least the first five, then come back to the rest later.
