Downloading Google Chrome web browser


In this chapter, we will optimize themes for mobile devices, and in order to do so, we need to check how the Moodle theme that we are designing looks on different devices. It is impossible to have all the devices available on the market and test the Moodle theme on them; therefore, we need to do it through a simulator.

We can simulate mobile devices with Device Mode in Google Chrome, therefore, we need to download Google Chrome web browser in order to use this tool. We can download it from the following website: https://www.google.com/chrome/ .

Hover the mouse over DOWNLOAD and click the desired option, as shown in the following screenshot:

In this example, we are working on a personal computer; therefore, we click on For personal computers. Follow the installation wizard in order to complete the installation of the Chrome web browser.
