Google Chrome
I have been using Google Chrome for about five years now, and I just downloaded my second add-on. This is exciting because it is a typo corrector that goes along with you as you type online. It goes deep into the typos of your document, even analyzing grammatical errors that are very easy to miss. …
Clearing your Cache
