4 hidden settings to make Chrome for Android even better Credit:TECHSLORD Google's Chrome for Android provides a commendable browsing experience out of the box -- but if you know where to look, you can unlock extra features that'll make it even more effective. Your mobile browser is your gateway to the web, after all -- and whether you're doing important work-related research or, ahem, important work-related procrastination, you want to be as efficient as possible. These four settings are all about enhancing your productivity and eliminating annoyances that slow you down. So what are you waiting for? Let's do this: 1. Give your address bar a time-saving trick You probably already know you can use Chrome for Android's address bar to get instant answers on all sorts of things, ranging from equations to general knowledge. (If you didn't already know that, try it out: Type "34*67" or "What is the capital of Canada" into the bar at the top of your browser. The answers will appear immediately, and you'll never even have to hit enter.) Meet Your Lion Tamer – Your Security Department BrandPost Sponsored by AccessData Meet Your Lion Tamer – Your Security Department Chrome offers another useful address-bar trick for Android users, though -- one that is currently under development and thus requires a little digging to uncover. And if you're anything like me, it'll prove to be an incredibly handy shortcut. You know all those times you copy a URL from somewhere and then have to go paste it into your browser? With this option enabled, anytime there's a web address in your system's clipboard, Chrome will automatically present it to you as a one-touch option the second the address bar comes into focus. Chrome Android Settings: Address Bar jr Not too shabby, right? To activate the feature, you'll first need to be using the Chrome Beta version of the app. It's a separate download that gives you access to cutting-edge features before they hit the main release.

Intersection, the company behind the free gigabit-speed Wi-Fi hot spots that have popped up around New York City over the last few years, has launched a new network of the kiosks in London.
