1/5 Keep strong password: Using a password manager (even if it’s not Google’s) will help you store and use a strong, unique password for each site you log into. Google Password Manager can suggest and save a strong, unique password of gobbledygook (like KZamPPzj43T9mQM). Then, Chrome will autofill the password next time you need it — on any device. Chrome should suggest a new strong password when creating a new account, or you can always right click in the password field and click “Suggest Password.” (Pixabay)

2/5 Keep updating Google Chrome: Like every other application, security engineers work to keep Chrome safe against the latest threats, by working on updates and improvements. And these updates and improvements come out at least every two weeks. Chrome checks for updates regularly, and when one is available, Chrome downloads it immediately and then applies it when you close and reopen the browser. But if you haven’t closed your browser in a while, you may have a pending update visible in the upper right corner of the browser window. To apply the update, click “Update” or simply close and reopen Chrome. (REUTERS)

3/5 Keep note of Chrome's download warnings: Chrome warns its users about dangerous downloads when possible. When you see a download warning, you can still download the file, but it is recommended not to do so. Computers are often compromised by malware because people misunderstand or ignore warnings.

4/5 Use 2-step verification: Two-factor authentication can use your phone to add an extra step to verify that it's you when you sign in. Signing in with both a password and a second step on your phone protects against password-stealing scams. If you sign into Chrome with a Google Account, be sure that you’re enrolled in 2-step verification to protect your account. (Unsplash)

5/5 Use the browser with Enhanced security protection: To be even more secure while browsing the web in Chrome, turn on Enhanced Safe Browsing protection in your Chrome settings. It substantially increases protection from dangerous websites and downloads by sharing real-time data with Safe Browsing. If you’re signed in, Chrome and other Google apps you use (Gmail, Drive, etc) will be able to provide improved protection based on a holistic view of threats you encounter on the web and attacks against your Google Account, according to the blog post.

How many times do you revisit various e-commerce websites to know if your favourite item has received a price drop or not? You will not have to do it anymore soon! Instead, your Google Chrome browser will alert you by itself in case your favourite product gets a price drop. Google has officially announced that its Chrome browser will soon notify you about your favourite product receiving a price drop. That will certainly take the pain out of checking for discounts repeatedly for something that you want to buy.

“No need to refresh the page every day to see if that new TV's on sale. You can now opt-in to receive an email or mobile notification from Chrome if there is a price drop,” Google informed via blog. The feature is already available in the US on desktops and Android devices starting from December 15. The new feature helps you track down the prices of all your favourite products. But how will it work? Will you be able to add particular products for the alert? Or, Google Chrome will notify you of the related items. Here are all the questions answered.

How to use Google Chrome to get a price drop alert

All you need to do next time when you shop, just select “track price” in the Chrome address bar. You can also manage the products you're tracking through the side panel, or through the notifications you receive.

Apart from this, when you add items to your shopping cart, Google Chrome will find available discount codes from the retailer and automatically show them at checkout. Just ensure then you open the New Tab Page anytime you need to track down existing shopping carts to see available discounts there. You'll also find similar options from other retailers and prices that will fit your budget. You'll even be able to see if the item is in stock or backordered, Google informed.
