Today’s Quick Tip….
Do you ever find yourself wanting to go back and visit a web page you visited in the recent past only to realize you can’t remember the name of the article, or even which website it was on?
Well, here’s an easy way to quickly find a page you recently viewed with your Chrome browser:
1 – Right-click on the Back button, then click Show Full History.
2 – Type a word or phrase you remember from the article into the Search box.
For example, if you remember reading an article about Independence Day you would type those words into the search box. If they are contained anywhere in that article’s URL you’ll be able to go right to it.
3 – Find the link you’re looking for in the list of search results, then click on that link to revisit the page.

Q&A: Can you still get Malwarebytes for free?
A reader wants to know why Malwarebytes installed the trial version after she chose a different option. This post has the answer.
Did you know everything you’ve ever posted on Facebook could well be searchable?
If you have your privacy level set to ‘Public’ on Facebook then every post you have ever made is searchable by anyone and everyone. This post explains how to fix that.
Q&A: Is it safe to delete the files that came on a new external hard drive?
A reader asks if she should keep the files that came from the factory on her new external USB hard drive or if she can safely delete them. This post has the answer.

Today’s inspirational post from ‘My Daily Smile’…
Did you know the Postal Service used to deliver children just like they deliver packages?
I know it’s probably hard to believe, but there was a time when you could ‘mail’ a child to another city or town via Parcel Post. Read this post for the details.
