Hi, I’m Glen Murphy, and I’m a designer on Google Chrome.
When we’re on the web, we’re always trying to get more done, faster.
But research has shown that most people don’t really save time
when they try to do multiple things at once.
On the Chrome team, we don’t think this is a problem with people;
we think it’s a problem with the tools they have at their disposal.
We realized that at any one time while browsing,
you’re only using 50% of your hands. Why?
Because you only have one mouse.
Chrome Multitask Mode changes that, by giving you access to not one,
but two mice, at the same time.
At first, it might be a little tricky to get the hang of steering two mice,
but after a short period of time it feels completely natural.
As an architect, if I make a mistake, it’s a matter of life and death.
Multitask Mode has taken the stress off,
because I’m no longer thinking too hard about any one project.
We only have one computer between us, and we used to fight and fight
over who got to use the internet first.
Well, now we don't have to wait or take turns anymore.
With Multitask Mode, we can both check our email at the same time
on the same computer.
Who’s David?
Security is extremely important to Chrome, and Multitask Mode
is no exception. To protect you from clicking on
any link twice and accidentally double-charging your credit card,
Chrome will automatically shut down your computer if your
mouse arrows get too close.
We hope Multitask Mode helps you get the most out of every minute you use Chrome.
