4. Set your start page to blank

Start page is the page that is loaded when you open a new tab or window , we generally set it Google , yahoo or some news site  . We are not always intended to visit the site that is loaded by default .Even if you wanted to search for something, it’s far easier to type into the search bar at the top than to actually visit Google.com. So open your browser’s preference and set that page to “about:blank”, which means “don’t load a page at all”.

5. Use password management tools

You can save some time by letting your browser remember passwords (not if everyone uses your PC) .Password management tools are quite useful for those who don’t use same password for all accounts , which I believe everybody should do . Keypass is one such free password management tool .
