But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/chrome\/browser\/desktop\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">Google Chrome<\/a> is a powerful web browser that provides many capabilities that just aren&#8217;t available in Safari. In today&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/?s=%22Friday+five%22\" target=\"_blank\">Friday Five<\/a>, I&#8217;ll show you five things that you can do in\u00a0Chrome that are impossible in Apple&#8217;s default Mac web browser.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1) Download\u00a0and run Chrome Apps<\/strong><br \/>\nChrome isn&#8217;t just a browser, it&#8217;s also the basis for the web-based operating system known as ChromeOS that runs on Chromebook laptops. Both ChromeOS and Chrome can run apps that are specifically written for the platform, meaning that if you have a need for an app that you just can&#8217;t find on Mac OS X, there&#8217;s a chance you might be able to find it in the Chrome Web Store.<\/p>\n<p>For example, let&#8217;s say you need a writing app and some of the OS X apps out there are just too expensive for your tastes. From within Chrome, click the &#8220;apps&#8221; button on the left side of the favorites bar (see image below), and a screen is displayed showing icons for all of the Chrome apps you have installed. By default, one of those is the Web Store. Click that icon, and you&#8217;re in a large &#8212; and mostly free &#8212; app store.<\/p>\n<p>Searching for writing apps, there&#8217;s Writer &#8212; which acts a lot like many of the distraction-free writing apps that are available on OS X. Within seconds, the app is installed, and I&#8217;m ready to start writing and saving my documents in the cloud.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/WriterinChrome.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-33013\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/WriterinChrome.jpeg\" alt=\"Writer app in Chrome Browser\" width=\"600\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/WriterinChrome.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/WriterinChrome-222x120.jpeg 222w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/WriterinChrome-284x154.jpeg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/WriterinChrome-190x103.jpeg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/WriterinChrome-222x120@2x.jpeg 444w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/WriterinChrome-284x154@2x.jpeg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/WriterinChrome-190x103@2x.jpeg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If your kids are bugging you for apps to run on their Mac, the Chrome Web Store might just be a place to find no- or low-cost apps that will keep &#8217;em happy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Control another computer<\/strong><br \/>\nThere are a number of ways to remotely control another computer, but I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve found one that&#8217;s quite as simple &#8212; and free &#8212; as <a href=\"http:\/\/chrome.google.com\/remotedesktop\" target=\"_blank\">Chrome Remote Desktop<\/a>. With\u00a0the Chrome browser installed on both of the computer you wish to control or access,\u00a0it&#8217;s easy to do user-to-user screen sharing that&#8217;s perfect for supporting another computer user. Chrome Remote Desktop also lets you access your own computer from anywhere you&#8217;re using Chrome.<\/p>\n<p>You can even use the free <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/chrome-remote-desktop\/id944025852?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\">Chrome Remote Desktop app<\/a> on your iPad or iPhone to control a Mac, Windows, Linux, or ChromeOS machine anywhere. If you&#8217;re setting up Chrome Remote Desktop to visit your own Mac at home or office, the Mac needs to be set up through the app with a six-digit PIN that is used to ensure that only those who know the PIN can get in.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/RemoteDesktop.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-33014\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/RemoteDesktop.jpg\" alt=\"Chrome Remote Desktop\" width=\"640\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/RemoteDesktop.jpg 640w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/RemoteDesktop-148x120.jpg 148w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/RemoteDesktop-284x231.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/RemoteDesktop-190x154.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/RemoteDesktop-148x120@2x.jpg 296w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/RemoteDesktop-284x231@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/RemoteDesktop-190x154@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, if you wish to share your screen with another person either for presentations or support, both of you just launch Chrome Remote Desktop. The person sharing the screen clicks a &#8220;Share&#8221; button that generates a 12-digit access code, the person on the other end clicks an &#8220;Access&#8221; button and enters that code. It&#8217;s fast and surprisingly painless.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Get automatic warnings of malware and phishing sites<\/strong><br \/>\nAlthough Chrome has been rightly maligned for using too many resources on the Mac, it does a good job of keeping your device protected &#8212; in my opinion, much better than Safari. Chrome displays highly visible warnings if you are visiting a website that contains malware or\u00a0is a bogus site masquerading as a valid web destination attempting to get you to type in your user name and password (phishing). In the past, I was alerted to a malware insertion on a WordPress website I was running thanks to Chrome &#8212; Safari never warned me of the problem. The issue was easily fixed, but it could have caused some real problems if Chrome hadn&#8217;t blasted a large red warning screen at me first.<\/p>\n<p>Chrome also provides sandboxing, meaning that a malicious script running on a website can&#8217;t affect your Mac or even other browser tabs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4) Spiff up Chrome\u00a0with a theme<\/strong><br \/>\nOne of my\u00a0favorite features of Chrome is the ability to install\u00a0themes to jazz up the web browser. Themes cover the &#8220;new tab&#8221; screen and the search bar, turning Chrome into a work of art if you wish. No more boring gray search bar or white &#8220;new tab&#8221; screen! Now you can cover it with an <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/27973-coffee-aliens-happen-make-sure-you-back-up-your-data\" target=\"_blank\">alien<\/a> or get in the mood with a seasonal theme. Themes are available in the Chrome Web Store and can be browsed with a click on the Themes link in the left Web Store sidebar.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/GalaxyChrome.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-33012\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/GalaxyChrome.jpeg\" alt=\"A space theme in Chrome\" width=\"600\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/GalaxyChrome.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/GalaxyChrome-207x120.jpeg 207w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/GalaxyChrome-284x165.jpeg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/GalaxyChrome-190x110.jpeg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/GalaxyChrome-207x120@2x.jpeg 414w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/GalaxyChrome-284x165@2x.jpeg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/GalaxyChrome-190x110@2x.jpeg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>5) Set up Google Translate to translate any website with a click<\/strong><br \/>\nSometimes one of your favorite websites might not be in your native language. Rather than going through the process of opening http:\/\/translate.google.com in Safari, then typing in the URL of the page to get a translation, Chrome allows you to add a Google Translate Extension. For example, I work closely with the team at MyApple.pl, a Polish-language Apple site. Since I know absolutely no Polish but I&#8217;d still like to read the site from time to time, I set up Chrome with the Google Translate Extension. The first time I visited the site, I clicked the Google Translate button that appears in the search bar near the &#8220;omnibox&#8221;, and it translated the page to English. A temporary banner asked if I always wanted Polish translated to English, and I responded &#8220;yes&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Now any time I visit the page, there&#8217;s a short delay and the content is translated into English. This works well with any language, so if you&#8217;re planning a trip somewhere and wish to read a lot of native-language websites in your language, Chrome&#8217;s Google Translate Extension is very helpful.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>If you use Google Chrome as your default browser, what are some of your favorite tricks?
