Lesson 4
Web Browsing
Customize your default browser so your Google apps and educational websites are easy to reach. The goal is to make the browser feel like a calm school dashboard instead of a giant pile of tabs.

- Remove old bookmarks you never use.
What to practice

- Clean up the browser a little at a time.
