3 Simple Ways to Zip and Unzip Files on a Chromebook
Zip or Unzip Using the Chrome OS
Unzip Using Apps on the Chrome Web Store

he best app in the store at the moment is ‘ZIP Extractor‘, developed by former Google employee Mike Procopio.

The app is available for free and currently has a 4.5 star rating from its 17,000+ user-base. Unlike the Chrome OS, the app can handle unzipping from either your Chromebook’s local drive or your cloud-based Google Drive. It also allows you to choose specifically which files in the ZIP file you want to extract and then lets you share them with other people.

Unzip Using a Cloud-Based Service

If you don’t want to use the Chrome OS and don’t feel happy using ZIP Extractor, your final option is to use a web-based service like ‘ZipShare‘.

Developed by the makers of the once-ubiquitous WinZip, the cloud-based extraction tool allows you to upload ZIP files from either your local machine or one of your online storage spaces before placing the unzipped files in your own personal online ZipShare account. With a 50 Mb upload limit, the service can cover most users’ needs, and even allows sharing of unzipped files across various social media platforms.

4 Browser Extensions For Searching Multiple Words On A Webpage [Chrome, Firefox]

4 Browser Extensions For Searching Multiple Words On A Webpage [Chrome, Firefox]
MultiHighlighter [Chrome]

MultiHighlighter is another Chrome extension that allows multi-word searching and highlighting. Like other search tools, each term is given its own color. You don’t need to separate the words with a comma, instead just put a space between each one. To the right of the text field, there’s a box that displays the count of the number of matched terms appearing on the page.

To display the Multihighlighter search bar, click the icon or use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+A. To close the bar, click the “X” or press the escape key [ESC]. This extension looks fairly simple, but it actually has some really impressive features, such as preserving the highlighting when printing the page onto paper or to PDF. MultiHighlighter is being actively developed and more unique features will be added soon

Below are some important notes taken from MultiHighlighter’s Chrome Web Store Page:

• Only words of 2 or more characters are searchable.
• Search is currently not case-sensitive.
• Redaction functionality is currently in-process.
• Doesn’t work when viewing PDF documents in Chrome.

Stay up to date by following the group behind this project on Twitter and Facebook.
