It’s very hard to find someone who doesn’t use the Internet every day. If you are a regular Internet user, knowing the following Internet Tricks and Tips will make your life a lot easier, surfing a lot more fun. So, let’s get the ball rolling. And if you like them, please share it with your friends on social networking websites.

Internet Trick number 1 – Address bar magic.

If you are a touch typer and your typing speed is good, then you probably don’t need this. But, for some people, having to type the whole “www” and “.com” can be a little hassle. So, when you type in any word (or more than one word but written together) and press “Ctrl” and “Enter” at the same time, your browser will do it for you! Example: Typing “yahoo” and pressing enter will open up www.yahoo.com for you. Keep in mind that it will only work for .com domains. It’s an awesome feature to know, nontheless.

Internet Trick number 2 – Search term magic.

You read an interesting article a while back and you remember some words, but searching for them might not always bring out the result you want to see. If you want to utilize your search results, use the “AROUND” feature on Google. It allows you to find separate phrases, not just mentioned in the same article or page, but inside of a specific amount of words apart. For example, if you wanted to find writings about ‘Kanye West’ and ‘pizza’ within 12 words of each other, your search would look like this: “Kanye West” AROUND (12) “Pizza”. If you want to give it a try, just search for it and you will see the magic happen. The quotation marks, AROUND in capital letter and parenthesis are all necessary for this feature to work.

Internet Trick number 3 – The “minus” magic.

Another good use of Google search genius is taking advantage of the “minus” feature. Search for “Selena Gomez -Justin Bieber” and Boom! The magic happens. You will get all the search results about Selena Gomez that doesn’t include any of Justin Bieber.
I hope you’re enjoying it so far.

Internet Trick number 4 – The “disposable email”.

Need an email for a couple of minutes to register somewhere but also not receive any email or spam in the future? The 10 Minute Mail is right there for you. It’s pretty self explanatory what it does. But if you didn’t get it, then it will basically give you a 10 minute email address where you can receive messages (usually activation/confirmation emails) and view them. Try it.

Internet Trick number 5 – The “begging”.

This one here is not always effective, but it might come handy sometimes. If you are doing online shopping and if you don’t need the item you’re about to purchase that fast, try adding items to your cart and leave it.Eventually you might get some type of discount code in an email that gives off desperate ex vibes, borderline begging you to finish the purchase.

Internet Trick number 6 – The “Oh, no! My file is corrupted!”

Corrupt A File is an enabler that can be a procrastinator’s best (or worst?) friend, allowing them to corrupt a file and make it seem like they did their work on time, but it’s unfortunately malfunctioning.

Internet Trick number 7 – The “define:”.

If you type in “define:” and a word you don’t know in your address bar/search bar, you will get the definition of the word in a split second. For example, typing “define: douche” will bring out the following result:

Internet Trick – define function.

Internet Trick number 8 – Some hotkey combinations.

• Ctrl+Shift+T will re-open the closed tab on your browser.
• Ctrl+Shift+N will open up an incognito (private browsing) on Google Chrome.
• Ctrl+Shift+P will do the same on Firefox and Internet Explorer.
• Ctrl + increases the font size, Ctrl - does the opposite.
• Ctrl + F will search for the word you type.
• Ctrl + F5 refreshes bypassing cache, like “turning it off and on again” for web pages.

Internet Trick number 9 – Access sites you usually can’t.

If you’re in a particular country that can’t access important content on US websites like Hulu or Netflix, Firefox and Google Chrome offer a free extension called Media Hint that can have you watching Orange is the New Black and other American exclusives in no time.
