Google can be used for several things. You can use google as a timer by typing

Finding More Relevant Information For School Essays

Stop using Google.com to search information for school essays, use

Use Google Translate to visit blocked sites


Is a particular website blocked at your work or in school? Companies and universities can be very annoying by putting up these firewalls, but almost all of them will not block Google Translate. So go to Google Translate and visit your site through it. It will work just fine! Remember to use English-to-English as the translation settings. But there’s one caveat: this hack only works with HTTP sites, not HTTPS ones.

Stopping Ads While Playing Games


I know ads can be very annoying while playing games on mobile.
Simply putting your mobile on airplane mode will stop ads while playing games

Use Youtube With Ease


Now this that might entirely change how you use YouTube. Did you know that you can hit the number keys on your keyboard from 1 to 9 to skip from 10% to 90% of the video? What’s more, you can use the J and L keys to rewind and fast forward 10 seconds, and the K key to play/pause. No more fiddling around with that bar!
