Cheat Google Chrome T-Rex Game To Get Unbelievably High Score

Psst! Hey, want to look cool and awe your friends? Well, I got just the trick to make your friends respect your inhuman gaming skills. I am sure you know about the T-Rex game in Chrome that you can access when you are offline. It’s quite a difficult game to play and for an average person going above 3000 score is actually worth a pat on the back.

What if I tell you that you can easily score over ten thousand high score in the T-Rex game without even playing the game? That’s right, with a small string of code you can make the Chrome play the game on hyperspeed and reach score as high as 99,999. Let’s see how to do it:

Chrome T-Rex game high score cheat

To access the T-Rex game, either turn off your internet connection and search something on Chrome or type chrome://dino in the address bar and hit Enter if you don’t want to go offline. Now right-click anywhere and select “Inspect” from the context menu.

Here move to the “Console” tab and paste this code Runner.instance_.setSpeed(1000) and press Enter key.

Now click on the T-Rex game panel on the left and hit the space bar to start it. You will see the dino running fast without hitting any of the obstacles, and the score will calculate much faster as well. You can click on the console panel to pause the game.

Once the desired score has been achieved, right-click on the code string and select “Clear console”.

Afterward, again add the code string but edit the “1000” at the end to add any number below 340, such as Runner.instance_.setSpeed(200).

Again click on the game panel and it will slow down and hit an obstacle leading to the game over and your high score recorded.

Now go take a screenshot and share it with anyone you like. However, don’t forget to close the developer console window before taking the screenshot.

I am sure you are wondering how this trick actually works? Well, using the code string we force the T-Rex game to play at hyper-speed leading to faster score calculation. And when the game plays at unrealistic speed, it also stops considering objects in the way i.e. the objects don’t affect the T-Rex. The “1000” at the end of the code represents speed. You can increase the number to calculate score even faster, and decreasing it below 340 speed will make the game speed realistic and the game will consider obstacles again.

Ending words

I will recommend you to keep your score below the 10,000 threshold to make it look realistic. And I can only hope that your friends don’t force you to play the game in front of them afterward. Do let us know in the comments if you found this little trick fun and how you used it.

13 Google Chrome Tips And Tricks You Didn’t Know You Needed

I have been using Google Chrome for over a decade now, but it still doesn’t fail to surprise me with new features and tricks. Even as an avid Chrome user, I only recently found out that Chrome can be used as a media player with astonishingly smooth playback.

I am sure there are many Chrome features that many people don’t know about. Therefore, today I am going to list 13 Chrome tips and tricks that I have learned over the years and I think most people will not know about them.

1. Play Media Files in Chrome

Whether you have a video file or an audio file, Chrome can easily play it for you. The media player offers bare minimum features but comes with smooth playback that many will appreciate. Just drag and drop the media file in any Chrome new tab, and it will automatically play. You can also use the open-with option in the Windows context menu to play the file in Chrome.

2. Open images and documents in Chrome

Just like audio and video files, Chrome also allows you to open images and documents. You can open PDF files, Word documents, and most common image formats. Just drag and drop the file in the Chrome interface and it will load.

3. Search in a new tab

If you are typing a search query but don’t want to open it in the same tab, then you can open it directly in a new tab as well. Just press Alt+Enter keys after entering the search, and the results will open in a new tab.

4. Use Chrome search bar as a calculator or unit converter

You can use the search bar to do basic calculations or convert units without having to actually search for results. You can use both symbols or natural language to ask the question. For example, 86*29 or 86 multiply by 29 will give the same result under the search bar. However, do keep in mind that you will still need an internet connection to use this feature.

5. Use Chrome as notepad

You can easily turn chrome into a plain text editor. Simply enter data:text/html, <html contenteditable> in the Chrome search bar and the text editor will open up. Do keep in mind that you can’t save the text entered here, so you will have to copy and paste it somewhere safe if you want to keep it. This feature is mostly useful for striping away formatting from the copied text as the text editor only supports plain text.

6. Search for other tabs

If you have a habit of opening dozens of tabs at a time, then it can become a little difficult to switch between tabs and find the right one quickly. Thankfully, in Chrome, you can just enter the name or URL of the website already opened in a different tab and click on the “Switch to this tab” button that appears to directly go to it.

7. Recover data from a corrupted USB drive with Chrome

Chrome can also be used as a file explorer to access files on your PC. You can particularly use this feature to access files inside a corrupted USB drive that your PC explorer is unable to access. To do so, type USB drive address such as “E:/” or “F:/” and click on file:///E:/ that shows in the search results. Basically, enter the USB drive letter and add a colon and slash at the end to access it.

This will open all the contents of the USB drive. Just drag and drop the files from Google Chrome to the destination folder in your PC, and they will be copied there.

8. Remove password from a PDF with Chrome

If you have a password-protected PDF file, then you can remove its password with Chrome and make it available to everyone (you must know the password already). All you need to do is open the PDF file in Chrome and then Print (Ctrl+P) a new one that will not be password protected. Here are step-by-step instructions to remove the password from a PDF using Chrome.

9. Create website shortcuts on your desktop

If you need to access a particular website often — say your workplace website — then you can create a shortcut of it on your desktop to directly open it in Chrome when you want to launch Chrome. This is very similar to bookmarking, but you won’t have to separately open Chrome and then open the website from the bookmark, basically skipping a step.

To do so, click on Chrome’s main menu and select “Create shortcut” from the “More tools” option.

Now click on the “Create” button when the confirm pop up comes, and the shortcut will be created.

10. Get Chrome offline installer

When you download Chrome from the official website, it downloads a tiny installer that later downloads the actual files and automatically installs it on your PC. However, if you want to install Chrome on more than one device without having to separately download on each device, or want to have a Chrome installer offline with you on a USB, then the official installer won’t work.

Thankfully, Chrome also offers offline installer on the official website, but it is hidden. If you want the offline installer, here is a post listing all the latest offline installers for Chrome.

11. Split PDF files in Chrome

If you need to split a PDF file into multiple files, then you don’t need a dedicated tool for it. Chrome can easily split PDF files using the Print option. You just have to print the PDF file in Chrome and select a custom number of pages so separate files could be created. Here are the step-by-step instructions to split PDF files in Chrome.

12. Make Chrome crash

This trick isn’t very useful for mainstream users (unless you want to fake a crash), but many developers actually use it to check how their extension or web app will behave in a crash. You can make both a single tab or the whole Chrome browser crash. However, before trying it, I will recommend you to save your data in case Chrome is unable to recover after the crash.

Type chrome://crash in the address bar to make the current tab crash. If you want the whole browser to crash, then enter about:inducebrowsercrashforrealz in the address bar.

13. Use Chrome task manager

Similar to Windows, Chrome also has a task manager that shows currently opened processes and their impact. To open the task manager press Shift+Esc keys while Chrome is open. Here you can see the process of each tab that is open and how they are using CPU, memory, and network resources.

Although it offers a ton of information for developers, but regular users can also use it for many purposes. For example, you can use it to see if any tab is putting pressure on your CPU power consistently and close that tab (same goes for memory). You can also see how many times a website in a tab is connecting with your network.

Ending words

So these were some Chrome tips and tricks that might help you get more done with Chrome. I personally only use a few of these tips and tricks on daily basis, although it’s nice to know that Chrome can do so much. If you know any other interesting Chrome tips and tricks, do share with us in the comments below.
