So in this whole video I'm going to show you how to work with your Chrome Extensions,
I'm also going to show you why we might want to do that, as well as work with other things such as our
Apps and I have some other news there towards the end . Now to remove an extension all you have to do
is take your mouse and go up to the very top there if you look at the top right hand corner there's a
puzzle piece now it may look like an ink blot or something like that, but basically it's just
a puzzle piece and if you float your mouse over it does say extensions so go ahead and click that
as I have done there and then once you've done that you'll come up and you'll have the list of
pinned extensions now these are the extensions that you actually see at the very top there
and it gives you options to unpin them that is remove them from the area up there but if you
notice there's three little dots next to them just going let's click on one of those there
and boom you have the option to remove it now the reason why we would want to remove
it in the first place is because maybe it's an extension that is changing our
home screen or is changing our search engine or doing some other thing there that we really
don't like and I mean many people may even call that ... malware you know or something like that
basically a malicious software that does something that you really don't want it to do
right one good example of that was uh an app called or an extension called a "weatherbug"
and what it would do is it would change your search engine it would change your
home page and do other things to you it's really nasty there because it did that and
people were just removing it left and right all right let's go in let's just say that you don't
see the name of the extension that you want there or maybe you want to see the a more complete list
if you look at the very bottom of this it says magic manage extensions click on manage extensions
and there you go you have a complete list there and notice that they have two little buttons on
them one says details the other says remove well maybe you want to know what permissions you're
giving each extension so all you got to do is just click on details and when you do another
page opens up and notice that it does give you the details of what that extension is doing there and
you can actually control more options within that extension so really does give you
a quick a bit of leeway there of how you control what it does let's go back here
and if you were to click on remove let's say that I wanted to click on remove on one of these
so you just click on remove and notice it gives you the option there do you want to remove this
from chrome and you click on remove there and it will remove it from your chrome browser now
these steps are they work the same whether you're working within a windows machine a macintosh or a
chromebook or something else and that's kind of nice because i just make one video for everyone
there now let's just say that for some reason you don't see the puzzle piece up there
maybe you have a different version of the chrome os or chrome browser and you just don't see the
the uh extension uh there all you have to do is click on the three dots that's called the
customize control google chrome and when you click on there you should see a menu pop down
once that menu pops down go to more tools and then extensions so you can click on extensions
from right there and then that will take you to the exact same spot that we've been talking about
so now you know two ways to find extensions which is kind of nice there hey by the way this is
SelmaTeacher 7's youtube channel and I'm Mr Berry. I'm the one who creates all the videos here
if you're new to the channel please click on subscribe and if you like these types of videos
do click on click on thumbs up share the video and what i'm going to do now is i'm going to
show you how to remove an app from your Chromebook so let's say that you have an app that you want to
remove you can click on the down in the corner you have this little circle thing there and that's the
app launcher if you click that you notice that you do have some apps that are pinned towards the top
what i need you to do is click on the carrot to reveal more apps there you go so you have
more apps there and once you have that list if you right click on them now i made several videos on
this in the past and i found out that six percent of my audience did not know how to do a right
click on a chromebook and they say well where's the right click i just see a pad down there well
if you use two fingers there and you press two fingers like make a piece symbol and so
i'll do that right now i'll just uh let me see you can't remove play store and the law of these apps
because they are part of the chrome operating system but let's just say i go down here and
i want to take off one of these games or one of these other apps so here's one the [ __ ] that's
for editing images i right click on it that is i use two fingers click there it is and it does
give me the option to remove it or uninstall it and so apps can be uninstalled in this way
and if you scroll down again that's using two fingers and it's kind of making this type of
motion there on your touchpad you notice that you have more and more and more apps there again if i
want to remove one of these take the two fingers there do the right click and click on uninstall
and it will remove it from your chrome operating system now the nice thing to know about this
too is let's say you had multiple devices that you're using with one google account like i do
then if you do remove an extension or an app from one chromebook you go to the next chromebook you
log into the same account that app's not going to be there so it's removed from all of your other
devices as well which is a good thing to know that you don't have to remove that same app or install
the same app multiple times i'm going to hit escape when you hit escape that window goes away
and i'm back into my extensions here you open up a new tab by clicking on the plus there at the top
that's what i've done and i wanted to talk about some of the other things that we have in here
i get a lot of questions on using chromebooks a lot of people are new to chromebooks and so
let me just show you something here if i click once there on the on the three dots that's called
customize control google chrome this is these are options there to control the browser there there
are other settings i'm going to show you here in a second but if you go all the way down to the
word settings click there and now you're in your chrome browser settings remember there's a chrome
os settings it's in a different location for some reason but this is for the chrome browser settings
and notice that you do have extensions right here so you can click on extensions and
you know get into the same window so if i was to do that boom there it is there's
my extensions again let me go back into settings by clicking on the tap at the top
and let's say that you're unfamiliar with the settings and you say well you know i'm unfamiliar
with the settings i really don't know how to do anything with it so what you can do is you
can actually click up there into the search box and let's say that we want to do a safety check
a lot of people they're kind of concerned about their privacy about malware about security and
all that so let's type in the word check and right away it gets right there i'll show you right there
boom in the middle of our screen it says safety check and you actually can run a safety check
on your account and see if there's any data breaches with your data has been
you know may have been released such as your name other information just click there and you'll run
a check for you and then you'll actually allow you show you how to fix those things too such as
let's just say that you were some of your data was involved in a data breach one thing that i
would do is i would change my password uh number two is i would turn on two-step verification
and you can turn on two-step verification there from within your your google settings there and um
once you've turned on two-step verification whenever you try to log in to a device
your phone will ring and or give you a message and say hey is this you trying to log into your
machine and you simply say yes it is me and you just follow the steps there on your phone the
thing is if you do get a different phone number in the future you do want to update your settings
so that it has the newest information the newest phone number so you can always do the two-step
verification there because it'll be terrible for you to lose your phone and then be out there and
need to log into a new device and not being able to do that because you have two-step verification
so make sure you do update that phone number and always have the current number there alright so
now you know a little bit about what's called the settings within my chrome browser let's look now
for my chromebook users and if you look down at the very bottom of the screen here so i'm gonna
i'm gonna go away here for a little bit so you can actually see through me and you click right here
and then click into this gear icon once you click on the gear icon you're now into the chrome book
settings and as you can see it's different than the other settings so the first one was the
browser settings and the second one there is the chromebook settings and again it does have
a search box at the top you do have the ability to kind of go to these different categories um
a lot of people are often asking well how do you check for the latest operating system make sure
that you have the latest one right there where it says about oh chrome os click it and there you go
you can check there to see that you have the newest one right there above me it says check boom
click on the check and you can actually how it have it go online and it will check for the newest
version for you and update your operating system that you have all the features and also security
speaking of security um a lot of times people want to know do i need to
install install another app or an extension for better security on my chromebook and i often say
well no it's it's built in and sure enough what i found was when i was go to some sites
if that site has been compromised in any way then what i got was a hello red
uh outlined for that website a big flash warning said warning do not go here uh it's been reported
that suspicious software or something suspicious has been going on here and basically it blocks
that site now there is a way to route around there and go into advanced settings and you know
disregard those warnings if you really need to go in there uh knowing full well that that site has
been compromised but still it does for the average user all they see is they see a red warning there
and uh preventing them to go into that site that's been compromised which is really handy
and that's built into the operating system now you don't have to install any extra extension or app
