Get the most out of Baidu Browser when you know about all of its exciting features. Below, you’ll get a better understanding of all that Baidu Browser has to offer:
Open Recently-Closed Tabs
While this feature is simple, it’s quite powerful. If you accidentally close a tab, it can be frustrating, especially if you had a lot of pages open on the tab. Thankfully, Baidu Browser allows you to easily re-open recently-closed tabs with the push of a button. Look for the clock icon in the menu bar and click it in order to see recently-closed tabs for retrieval. This is also beneficial if you can’t remember where you found information in a recent browsing session and you want to look back through the tabs you had open to find it.
Browser Doctor
The Browser Doctor in Baidu Browser can help you figure out what’s wrong if you start having trouble while browsing the Internet. The option to open this feature displays automatically when you hit an error online. You can tell Browser Doctor about the problems you’re experiencing, including when pages don’t display correctly or when videos won’t load. The Browser Doctor then assesses the situation and provides solutions. You can also let the Browser Doctor make corrections to your browsing experience by selecting which solution you would like to use.
Take Full-Page Screenshots
Screenshots are useful in many ways. For instance, you can take screenshots to share images with friends, but you can also take them to preserve important information online that could be deleted at a moment’s notice. With other browsers, you may have to install third-party software in order to take a screenshot from the browser itself, but with Baidu Browser, all you have to do is click on the scissors icon in your menu bar to take a screenshot. You can then go back and review all of your screenshots to find the one you need for the task at hand.
Drag and Drop Functionality
When you want to open files, like pictures and videos, in a browser, you often have to open a new tab or window and type in the location address of the file on your computer. This can be a hassle, especially if you don’t know the location address. With Baidu Browser, all you have to do is click on the file you want to open, drag it to a new tab, and drop. Baidu Browser will open the file in the new window or tab for you without any of the hassles of other browsers.
