Chrome OS - Maximizing your Browser with Extensions

What are extensions?

Extensions are tools that you can add to your Chrome browser that enhance the functionality of your browsing, make you more productive, and streamline your workflow. Extensions on student Chromebooks will be managed by our Google Apps for Work accounts. As a teacher you can add extensions to your own Chrome browser. When you are logged into Chrome, no matter the device, your extensions travel with you. Below we have a guide on logging into your Chrome Account. Browse for Extensions in the Google Webstore: Chrome Webstore

Managing your Google Accounts

Signing in and out of Google Accounts in the same browser window can become tedious and, when you start using different add-ons and extensions, can become an issue.

You can set up users where you can bounce between Chrome users without having to log in or log out.
