You probably know how to cut and paste, but do you know some other shortcuts such as reviving a closed tab? To do this, simply add “.com” to your text!
Here are some other quick shortcuts that can make Web browsing easier on your computer. If you are a Mac user however, remember to substitute the Command key for the Control key in the tricks listed below.
CTRL + Plus sign: Zoom in
Is the font too small on a given web page? CTRL + Plus zooms you in, while CTRL + Minus zooms you out. Now you can feel like all those cops on CSI shows who “zoom in and enhance” grainy pictures of bad guys just by mashing a few keys!
