So in this whole video I'm going to show you how to work with your 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'll have some other news there towards the end now to remove an extension I 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 block 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 uh area up there but if you notice there's
three little dots next to them just go ahead and 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 it in the first place is
because maybe it's an extension that is changing our home screen or it's changing our search engine
or it's doing some other thing there that we really don't like and many people may even call
that um malware you know or something like that uh 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 weather buug and what it would do is it would change your search engine it would
change your homepage and do other things to you it was 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 man manage extensions click on manage extensions
and there you go you have a complete list there and um 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 uh a quite 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
and um 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 uh 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 customized control Google Chrome and when you
click on there you should see a um 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'll 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 Selma teer 7's YouTube channel and I'm Mr Berry I'm the one who
creates all the videos here um 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 uh 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
um 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 6% 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 pie
symbol and so I'll do that right now I'll just um let me see you can't remove Play Store and
a lot 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 with 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 a
motion there on your touchpad you notice that you have more and more and more um 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 operator in 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 uh 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 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 me 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 um
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 uh 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 wanted 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 um you know may have been released such as your name
other information so just click there and it'll run a check for you and then it'll actually allow
you show you how to fix those things too such as let's just say that you were um some of your data
was um 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 into 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 um 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 um do the two-step verification there because it'd be terrible for you to lose
your phone and then be out there and needing 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 all right so now you know a little bit about what's called the
uh 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 going to I'm going to 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 Chromebook settings and um as you can see
it's different than the other settings so the first one was the um 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 often ask me well
how do you check for the latest operating system make sure that you have the latest one right there
where it says about o Chrome OS click it and there you go you can check there to 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
have it go online and it will check for the newest version for you and update your operating system
so you have all the features and also security speaking of security um a lot of times people want
to know do I need to exall 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 um what I found was when I was go to
uh some sites if that site has been uh compromised in any way then what I got was a a little red uh
outlin 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 um basically it blocks that
site now there is a way to Route around there and and go into advanced settings and you know
disregard those warnings if you really needed 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 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 hey again if you like these typ videos make sure you've clicked on that thumbs up comment down
