Another Way to View Page Source in Google Chrome

View Page Source shortcut in Google Chrome

Google Chrome normally opens the source view of the web page in its own new tab. To see a web page’s souce code you have to normally right-click on the page and choose “View Page Source”. If you prefer to spend most of your time on the keyboard and wanted to avoid extra mouse clicks then Google Chrome has a nice lilttle shortcut to get to the web page source code quickly.

Open a new tab in Google Chrome and type-in “view-source:http://the-web-address” like for example, “view-source:http://www.demogeek.com”

It’s a neat little shortcut if you prefer to interact with the keyboard the most.
