Disable DNS Preload in Google Chrome:
This will prevent Google chrome to keep DNS info in their cache. Most of time it is unnecessary if you have a good connection of at least 256kbps or more. It is recommended only for slow dial up connection or Mobile users who actually spend a lot f time in DNS query during browsing. To disable this you have to go Options> Under the Hood >> Privacy – There are 2 checkboxes one says ‘Use a web service to help resolve navigational errors’ and second is ‘ use a prediction service to help complete searches and URL’s typed in address bar’.
You can disable both option or any one of them, first one is used only if you make a mistake while typing any URL while other one is activated by default everytime you start typing a URL.
Disable anti-phishing filter:
Clear browsing data regularly:
While Chrome does not yet make an automatic cleaning of your history, in any browser I’ve tested this is essential if you want to prevent degradation. Go to the Tools menu (the wrench) and choose the “Clear browsing data”. Of course, remember to choose from in the box “Clear data from this period” the option “All” if you will not be eliminated leaving only the latest and old history. Repeat this step from time to time, weekly or monthly, whichever you prefer.
Disable Useless function which we don’t use normally:
To options that are mentioned below you need to edit the properties of Chrome shortcut which you are using to start the browser. To Change it, right click on the Chrome icon and choose “Properties.” this will open a windows with the “Shortcut” tab, in this tab there is a box called “Destination”. You have to change things in this box itself.
