ActivPanel 9 provides seamless integration with the Chromium browser, allowing you to conveniently manage lessons and access resources. To help you even more, we’ve gathered a handful of Chromium tips and tricks for optimizing your browser. Below are some of our favorites!

Change the homepage  

To personalize your homepage, click the 3 vertical dots in the upper right corner. Choose Settings and then click on Homepage. From there, you can copy and paste the website you’d like to use as your homepage whenever you launch Chromium.

Change the theme

Prefer to use only the dark theme in your Chromium browser? Or do you like to keep things light and airy? The choice is yours! Follow the steps above to get to the Settings menu. From there, click on Theme and adjust as desired.

Add shortcuts to applications  

Instead of constantly typing out addresses or sorting through bookmarks, you can add shortcuts of your favorite websites to your Home Screen. First, navigate to the website you want to save. Tap the 3 vertical dots in the upper right corner and click Add to Home Screen. You can optionally change the name here and then click Add. Now, you can access this shortcut in Applications on your roaming profile from panel to panel.

Add and access your bookmarks

Keep your important websites ready to launch at a moment’s notice with bookmarks. Simply navigate to the site you want to bookmark and tap the star in the address bar. The site is now bookmarked and ready to access whenever you need it!

To save multiple sites, open a browser window, create a new tab and navigate to each site you want to bookmark. Then click on the three vertical dots and tap Bookmark All Tabs.

To access your bookmarks, tap on the 3 vertical dots in the upper right-hand corner, click Bookmarks and then choose Mobile bookmarks.
