1. Built-in malware scanner to keep your data safe

Did you know that there is a malware scanner built into Chrome? Just head to Settings and go to the Advanced option. Here you can choose Reset and Clean and then Clean Computer; this will scan the computer properly, and if anything suspicious is found, Chrome will report it and clean it up right away.

2. Play audio and video files directly in Chrome

Did you know that Chrome can also play audio/video files? All you need to do is drag an audio file or a video file to a new tab. It's a fundamental media player, but it can come in handy if you're in a rush to open an audio/video file.

3. Guest mode keeps your browsing data private

There may be one or two times when your friend/colleague wants to use their computer for a while. You may not feel comfortable sharing what you browse on the Internet. This is where guest mode comes in handy, click on your Google account avatar in the upper right corner, choose the Guest mode, and your data will remain private.

Once it is enabled, you will see an option to enter reading mode on pages that support it in the Chrome menu.
