Optimize Your Productivity with Google Chrome


About this event:
Google Chrome has become one of the most popular internet browsers, accounting for just over 50% of overall browser usage in the U.S. Given the amount of time many freelancers spend on the web doing client work and building their business, optimizing your productivity while using Chrome could represent significant time savings! In this hands-on workshop, we’ll walk through a number of time-saving features like: Setting up Chrome Profiles to help you better organize your browsing experience and client work Organizing your open tabs in Groups (like folders for your browser! 🤯) Searching your open tabs to more quickly find what you need Sharing links to a specific place on a webpage (no more “second sentence on the third paragraph” moments for you!) Kristen’s favorite Chrome Extensions, including one that will enable you to shut down your computer every day without losing your open tabs! Please come to the workshop with Google Chrome downloaded onto your computer so you can optimize it as we walk through the features.

Members: Free / Guests: $10. Be sure to register in advance on Eventbrite in order to gain access to the Zoom link.
