Let’s hook the Google Chrome Features one by one
Incognito Mode: Incognito mode is a Google Chrome browsing mode where your subsequent web searches are recorded in your Google Web History. In this case, if you want to make sure your searches are not stored in your Google Account, you’ll need to pause your Google Web History tracking. Browsing in incognito mode only keeps Google Chrome from storing information about the websites you’ve visited.
By default the Incognito mode is turned off, to turn on Incognito mode, follow these steps:
(1)Click the Page Menu
(2)Select New Incognito window
A new windows now opens with incognito icon in the top left corner. You can continue browsing as normal in the other window.
New Tab Page: When you open a new tab in Google Chrome it preloads it with some useful information and with one click you can get the web resource you use more often, to open the new tab click + icon next to the last tab.
Links to websites you visit the most: More often we use to visit some websites on a regular basis. The New Tab page provides image thumbnails and links for those websites automatically.Right-click a website to access options to open it in another new tab, in a new window, or in incognito mode. Click the Show full history link at the bottom of the page to see your entire browsing history in Google Chrome.

Address Bar: Single solution to all your need is what Google Chrome has came up with, you can get anywhere on the Web with one box. The address bar that sits at the top of the normal Google Chrome window simplifies your Internet experience by doubling as a search box. You can also use it to bookmark websites and stay aware about the security of a website.
Search: Type your search query in the address bar, and it automatically suggests related queries and popular websites, based on input. (Google Suggest is the default service)

Application Windows: There are a lot of websites in today’s date which operates like actual programs similar to those which run on desktop. Google Chrome supports these web applications by providing a special window designed specifically for web applications.

It shows up on computer taskbar like another program that’s open. Application windows don’t display tabs, buttons, address bar, or menus.
