Settings
Here, you can find options to customize the way Chrome behaves. The search bar is very helpful, and if you know what you are looking for, then you can search for it and Chrome will filter the page, showing you relevant settings.
Some settings in Chrome are enforced by the district and you cannot change them.
History
The history page can also be pulled up by hitting ctrl + H on your keyboard. If you are signed into Chrome on more than one device, it will also show you a brief history of your other devices. You can search through your history to find entries and delete entries that you don't want anymore. Although if you don't want things in your history to appear and don't want to take the trouble of deleting them later you can always use incognito mode. To enable this either hit ctrl + shift + N, click the three horizontal bars and then New incognito window, or click your profile name and then click Go incognito.
Extensions
...
Click on the Puzzle Piece icon in the top right next to the URL bar and click "Manage extensions".
From here, you can enable and disable your extensions. If you don't want an extension anymore, you can also delete it by clicking the trash "Remove" icon next to the extension you don't want anymore. Most extensions also have more options you can find by right-clicking the icon in the menu bar, but there are additional settings for each extension listed under the extension description.
to Get new extensions or ones you don't currently have you can go to the Chrome web store.
