The Internet is a magical place delivering all kinds of information you can think of. It also can connect you to people overseas, stream music for you, display movies online, and even lets you go to work without travelling. If you are a savvy browser, you need learn these 10 tricks when using the Internet.

1. Modal View
Sometimes, Web sites are putting contents in front of the real page, preventing you to view them directly unless you click on something or register. To avoid this, right click on the translucent part of the background and click "inspect element." In the dev tools, right click the highlighted and click "delete node."

2. Refine Google Maps Search
If you are looking for an establishment and you wanted a refined search result, add (*) on the search query. Example: restaurant*, tire shops*, malls*

3. Get 20 per cent discount from Online Retailers
For some Online Shopping sites, you can get 20 per cent discount or free item code if you fill your item cart and let it rest for a week. This method works 80 per cent at a time.

4. Free Textbook
When looking for free textbook using Google Search engine, simply type the (title of the book) filetype:(type of file). Example: biology filetype:pdf

5. Read as Much as you Want
Most articles are free for reading online but some Web sites charge viewers after a certain number of clicks. To be able to continue reading more than they can limit you, access the Web site using "Private Browsing" or "Incognito Mode."

6. Pin Your Tabs
In case you are loading more than 20 or 30 tabs at a time for research or work, "pin" them to avoid losing tabs accidentally. In this way, you save time from looking pages from the history tab or loading them all over again.

7. Get Past Blocked Web site
Proxy methods are used to get around security measures of certain establishments or offices to access some Web sites. Another way to get past is replace the "http" at the beginning of the URL with "https."

8. Boosts the Internet Speed by 20 per cent
Microsoft keeps 20 per cent of available bandwidth for system purposes such as Microsoft Updates which can slow your Internet speed. If you want to get full speed, follow these steps:

a. Click "Start" and select or type "Run."

b. Type on the Run window, "gpedit.msc" exclusive the quotes.

c. Go to the Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Network > QOS Packet Scheduler > Limit Reservable Bandwidth.

d. Double click the "Limit Reservable Bandwidth."

e. Though it displays, 0 per cent and not configured, enable it and you will see 20 per cent. Set the number to Zero for full Internet speed.

9. Enable Right-Click on Web Sites to Disable it
Many Web sites are blocking right-click on their pages to protect unauthorise copying. To disable this JavaScript action, type "javascript:void(document.oncontextmenu=null)" excluding the quotes. Most cases, this command works perfectly to enable right-click function.

10. Searching for Serial Codes Online
Looking for cracks or serial codes can be tough to some users but there is an easy to do this in case the standard search result left you with nothing useful. Add "94FBR" code to the search query to refine results. Example: Windows XP Professional 94FBR or MS Office 2007 94FBR.
