Final answer:
To have downloads automatically open in Chrome, access the browser's Settings, navigate to the Advanced section, and under Downloads, enable the option to open certain file types automatically. Be cautious with this feature and only enable auto-opening for trusted file types.
Step-by-step explanation:
To have downloads automatically open in Chrome, you must change the settings within the Chrome browser. Follow these steps:
- Open the Chrome browser and click on the three dots at the top right corner to access the menu.
- Click on 'Settings'.
- Scroll down and click on 'Advanced'.
- Under the 'Downloads' section, you can toggle on the option 'Open certain file types automatically after downloading'. This will allow Chrome to open certain files automatically once they are downloaded.
- Additionally, after downloading a file type, Chrome might ask if you would like to always open files of that type. Selecting 'Yes' will change the behavior to open that particular file type automatically in the future.
Please note, for security reasons, certain file types cannot be automatically opened in Chrome as they may pose a risk. It is important to only enable this setting for file types you trust.
