Abstract
- This article from Computer Act!ve offers tips and tricks for enhancing various Google products. It acknowledges that while Google has faced criticism for its privacy policies and business practices, its products are widely used due to their user-friendly designs and accessibility. The article covers ways to improve Google Chrome, Gmail, and Google Search, including restoring Chrome's classic download manager, applying a cleaner design to Gmail, and removing sponsored links and adverts from search results. It also addresses concerns about AI-generated search results and the removal of the "Cached" option from search results. The article provides tips and instructions on how to improve various Google services, such as Google Maps, Google Photos & Lens, Android & Google Play, and Google Drive & Docs. It suggests calibrating Google Maps using the compass on your Android phone to improve location accuracy, using dark mode on Google Maps website with an extension called Dark Reader, hiding private photos and videos in Google Photos' Locked Folder, translating foreign text using Google Lens and Google Translate, freeing up space on Android devices by archiving unused apps, sharing files between devices using Quick Share, scanning documents directly to Google Drive, moving unwanted files to the Spam folder in Google Drive, creating appointment schedules in Google Calendar, accessing Google Keep notes from the home screen, using Companion mode in Google Meet for mobile devices, and following interests in Google News. The article provides step-by-step instructions and screenshots for each tip. [Extracted from the article]
