Apps & Extensions
Get geeky (and really productive) with apps and extensions that provide additional capabilities to your Chromebook as well as a Chrome browser that you use on any computer. Unlike an Apple or PC computer, a Chromebook does not allow you to download software applications to run on your Chromebook. Instead, you can add Chrome Apps to your account, allowing you to access programs through the web. In addition, you can add extensions to your browser, which increase the functionality of Chrome. You can add apps and extensions through the Chrome Web Store. For a list of some of the most useful apps and extensions, click here.
Add a Bookmark to your Bookmarks Bar
Most of us have sites we go to all the time, so it's useful to bookmark them to make accessing them quick and easy. Before adding bookmarks, make sure your bookmark bar is showing. To do this, click on the settings button in the top right corner (three horizontal lines). Then select Bookmarks --> Show Bookmarks Bar. Once your bookmarks bar is showing, you can bookmark a page by navigating to the page and clicking on the white star in the right end of the URL bar (aka omnibox). When you click on it, a drop down menu will appear to help you organize your new bookmark. If you ever need to reorganize, you can do so in the bookmarks menu that you found in settings.
