Google Chrome tips

So here's one that made me furious.
You've got a Tab open, do something else on the PC and Chrome decides to trash your open Tabs. Tabs need to reload when chosen.

It's a bugger and affects some tasks where the Tab/Browser needs to stay open.

To avoid this from happening do the following:

Enter chrome://discards in the address bar. Toggle the switch of Tabs you don't want discarded.

Tip? : Install Firefox

*Firefox Developer Edition

Even if you aren't a developer, it's faster than regular Firefox. Also, Firefox on Mac is better than Firefox on Windows.

PC is too old. I'm not investing more cash into it.
The discarding of Tabs happens on many PCs. Even mid-range systems with enough RAM.
It's irritating.

Click anywhere in the actual window of the untrusted cert page, not in the Chrome address bar and type it again. It should accept it and immediately bypass that warning page.
