Linux

Google Chrome is such an exceptional web browser that once you download it and start using it on your desired operating system, your browsing experience gets all the more easier and convenient. This browser also allows us to auto-complete our searches based upon the trending searches as well as the URLs that we have previously visited. However, some users prefer to complete these searches by typing in everything on their own.
