TIP OF THE FORTNIGHT
Type specific URLs to open browser sections
As someone who prefers typing commands to making small mouse movements, I enjoyed your feature on tweaking URLs to open specific pages online (Issue 654, page 62). I do the same to open sections of the browsers I use: Chrome, Edge and Brave. This saves me clicking through their settings.
The URL I type most often is chrome://bookmarks to see all the bookmarks I’ve saved. It’s a quick way to remove bookmarks you no longer need. Replacing bookmarks with extensions, downloads and history takes you to those sections.
Another one I’ve just discovered is chrome://version (1 in our screenshot), which takes you to a page showing the numbered version of Chrome you’re using 2.
I find this useful when reading your browserapply to. All the URLs I type in Chrome also work in Edge and Brave – you just need to type their names instead of ‘Chrome’.
