Once you have successfully created a Google account, it's a good idea to become comfortable with using Google Chome, which is the recommended browser for running Google applications. Keep in mind that you can also use other browsers such as Apple's Safari, Microsoft's Edge, Amazon's Silk, and others such as Firefox and Opera. We will walk through Chrom's fundamentals that you should know while you are working through the workshop exercises and using the software tools in the future.
Starting the browser. You can start the Google Chrome browser by single clicking on the browser's icon on your computer's taskbar (easiest if it's there), by double clicking on the browser's icon on your computer's desktop (second easiest if it's there), or by finding it in the Start Menu of Windows (least preferred but it's always there). Once you've chosen your method to start Google Chrome, a Google Chrome window will open along with your home page (which is usually but not always https://www.google.com)
