Play Music and Videos

Chrome can play many popular audio and video formats. To use, simply drag and drop music files, videos into a blank tab of the browser and the file will start running.

When playing music / video with Chrome, you won't have much choice in controlling music / video like playing with specialized software. You can only perform all three operations including playback ( forward, backward, pause ), adjust the volume with the slider; and open full screen - with just one click.

If you are interested in listening to music and do not want to open a dedicated music / video player application which is quite heavy, Chrome browser is an appropriate alternative for this situation.

Read Text Files and PDF

Files (files) PDF and regular text are the formats that Chrome also handled very well. Of course, with text files you can open them quickly with Notepad, but with PDF files is another story. Adobe Reader - a specialized application to open this type of file - is considered to be quite heavy, so opening a PDF file with Chrome can be much more convenient.

To read text / PDF files with Chrome, you do the same as music / video files: drag the files to a blank tab on the browser that the file will be opened. With PDF files, you have the option to zoom in and out, print documents or save a file you are reading into a new file.

Open the Folder on Windows

Do you know that Chrome can also be used as a file browser on your computer? There may not be many situations where you have to use Chrome for this - because Windows or Mac already has a dedicated file browser; however, you might consider using Chrome as a backup plan when Windows tools crash.

To use Chrome as a file browser, enter C: / into the address bar. To browse files in other drive partitions like D, E. You just need to replace the letter C with the drive name you want to access.

Good luck!
