The article Google Chrome Help has been focused to provide basic information regarding the setup, installation and configuration of the browser. Again this is a broad category, and narrowing down the article it has been centered at “Google Chrome sign in” and “personal settings”.
The Google Chrome's sign-in feature is nothing but decentralizing the browsing experience across different devices or networks. You no longer need to fret about your bookmarks or apps being "stuck" on one computer. The created Google Account helps you to enjoy your bookmarks, extensions, apps, theme, and other browser preferences anywhere. You can then load these settings anytime you use Chrome on other computers and devices. It can be done in a few quick-to-follow steps. Click the wrench icon on the browser toolbar. Select Sign in to Chrome, and create your account. It may ask you to verify as well and in order to synch your preferences click “OK” against the "Confirm Sync Preferences" dialog box. Though, whatever information you stored in your account remains safe, but you can intensify the security settings with a passphrase, and it can be encrypted. This custom passphrase is stored on your computer and isn’t sent to Google.

Hence, it has come up with an “advanced settings” option to let you manage your privacy well and block spams, malware and Trojans. In case, you need help for setting up that, then Google Chrome Support can come into the role.
