Common internet browser shortcuts
2) Hold down the Ctrl key and press the + or - to increase and decrease the size of text.
3) Press the backspace key or hold down the Alt key + left arrow to go back a page.
4) Press F5 to refresh or reload a web page.

6) Press Ctrl + B to open your Internet bookmarks.
7) Press Ctrl + F to open the find box in the browser to search for text within the web page you're looking at.
Use Internet search engines to their full potential
Make sure to get the most out of every search result. If you're not
finding what you want try surrounding the text in quotes. For example,
if you were searching for 'computer antivirus' this actually searches
for pages that contain both computer and antivirus and not necessarily
pages that have computer and antivirus next to each other. If you search
for "computer antivirus" with the quotes around the search query this
will only return pages that actually have computer and help next to each
other.
You don't need the http:// portion of a web page
When typing an Internet address you do not need to type http:// or even www. in the address.
Eg: If you try to visit google,you only type google.com and press enter key. Another easy way to type google and press ctr + Enter
