1. Make application shortcut of a website

One of the most unique feature of Google Chrome is that it allows users to make a shortcut of their websites right on their desktop. By simply clicking these shortcut icons, Chrome opens the site in a new window. To make shortcut, follow these steps:-

• Click on the wrench icon located on the right side of the address bar
• A drop-down menu will appear. Here click on Tools 
• Then select Create Application Shortcut 
• A dialog box will appear. Here select the location of your shortcut

When you double-click a shortcut icon, the app opens in a special streamlined window that doesn't display tabs, buttons, the address bar, or menus.

       3. Drag a tab to one of 5 positions to re-size or dock the window.

Drag a tab to the middle of either side of your computer screen. When the docking icon appears, release the mouse over the icon and the tab will snap into place, filling exactly half your screen. Four other docking positions will help you work simultaneously in multiple tabs with ease.

Here are the different docking positions: 

1. Top of your monitor (in the middle) - The tab appears maximized in a new window when you release it.
2. Bottom of your monitor (in the middle) - The tab appears in a new window that fills the lower half of your monitor.
3. Left and right sides of your monitor (in the middle) - The tab opens in a new window that fills up either the left or right half of your monitor.
4. Bottom of a browser window (in the middle) - The tab appears in a new window below the existing browser window. The two windows splits the monitor in half.
5. Left and right sides of a browser window (in the middle) - The tab opens in a new window that fills up either the left or right half of your monitor. The existing browser window takes up the other half of the monitor, so that the two windows appear side-by-side.
