Is there any way to hide my real version of Google Chrome on Windows and make remote server indetify my browser as mobile browser on android and my OS as Android?

What you are looking for is the changing of your 'User Agent'.
Change User Agent
To do this in Chrome you need to first open up your developer tools. (Ctrl + Shift + I)
Click the three vertical dots in the top right of the DevTools window.
Go to More Tools -> Network conditions.
You can change your user agent from the drop down.
Refresh the page.
Changing Resolution
In Chrome you need to first open up your developer tools. (Ctrl + Shift + I)

Open A Particular Website In Chrome Using Shortcut

I want to open a particular website in Google Chrome using a shortcut.
Example: Ctrl+f to open example.com
How can I do this?
Step 1: Create a Desktop Shortcut.
Go to the website, and drag the Lock icon to your desktop (the icon appears to the left of the URL).

How to toggle Device Mode on a popup window in Chrome?

I have a web app with a chat that opens in a new popup window. Normally, in Chrome I can hit F12 and click the icon of a smart phone to toggle it. But in the popup window this icon does not appear. This is important for me since I need to throttle the connection of the popup in order to simulate a user disconnecting from the chat.
Thanks!
It doesn't seem to be currently possible. I've opened a ticket for you. Meanwhile you have couple of options:
open popup in a regular window (copy paste the url, or modify window.open call to open a new tab instead of a separate window),
create a Chrome extension that uses debugger API to send emulateNetworkConditions message to your popup window
or try hacking DevTools like so:
open DevTools (A) for your popup
focus on DevTools window and open another DevTools (B) for that window using a keyboard shortcut (F12/alt+cmd+J)
in the console of the DevTools B call WebInspector.overridesSupport.setEmulationEnabled(true) (to enable emulation) and then WebInspector.overridesSupport.settings.networkConditions.set({throughput: 1.5 * 1024, latency: 40}); (to enable network throttling)
Perhaps easier way as of today is to install chrome extension which will allow you to open preview in new tab instead of popup. There you can have the same icon to toggle to mobile. Below is the extension:

How can I stop certain extensions from running in the background after Chrome is closed?

After closing Chrome, certain extensions keep running on the background (like Drive or Hangouts).
Without disabling a extension, can I control which ones can keep running after Chrome is closed?
By default Chrome allows applications/extensions to keep running in the background to provide their services like updates and notifications. This is handy for keeping you updated with notifications on Facebook or a new email in Gmail.
You can stop Chrome from running in the background from the Chrome settings.
Click on Chrome’s main menu and select “Settings.”
Scroll down and click on “Show advanced settings.”
Scroll down to the extreme bottom and uncheck the option “Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed” under the “System” heading.
same with images is here https://www.maketecheasier.com/stop-google-chrome-running-background/
Use the chrome task manager to stop the extensions you want.
To open chrome’s task manager, click the “More” button (three dots), hover over “More Tools,” and then click on “Task Manager.” Alternatively, press Shift+Esc on Windows or Search+Esc on Chrome OS to open Task Manager.
Chrome task manager shows the list of open web pages and chrome extensions that are running.
Select the extensions you want to stop and then press End process
But if you only want to disable them from running in the background after closing Chrome:
Windows:
Ctrl + Shift + Esc
Mac:
Hit Command+Spacebar to bring up the Spotlight search field.
Type in “Activity Monitor”
Hit the Return key when “Activity Monitor” populates in the spotlight results.
You are now in Activity Monitor where you can manage and manipulate tasks.
Select the extensions process and press the End task button (Windows) or select the process and press the x button in the upper left.
You can click the 3 bar on the far right side of the chrome; click settings; click extensions right above that; then disable which ever extensions you do not want running. Often times if you have a ton of add-ons/extensions disabling these can speed up browsing. Happy surfing!

How can I inspect element in a webview in chrome when right click is disabled?

I have a web page loaded in a webview element in chrome, but that web page disables the right mouse menu, so I can't launch the debugger.
Is there a way to do this?
I've tried the suggestions the following to no avail :
How can I inspect element in chrome when right click is disabled?
Using Version 37.0.2062.20 beta (64-bit) on Ubuntu 14.04.
Hit F12 on keyboard
Chose magnify icon from development bar
Inspect Elements on webpage
The URL 'chrome://inspect' in chrome/chromium will open a page of 'devtools'. The 'app' item on the menu will list all running apps (and other menu items for other inspectable 'entities' like web pages/apps), and you can launch the debugger that way and get the same tools one would expect from the f12 or 'inspect element' on the right-mouse-button menu.
There are many ways to inspect the page whether the right click is enabled or disabled. This is only for the windows system.
==> When right-click is enabled
Right-click on the web page & you will find the INSPECT option at the end of the list.
Press F12 & direct inspect window will be opened.
Press ctrl + shift + I & inspect window will be opened.
==> When right-click is disabled.
Press F12 & direct inspect window will be opened.
Press ctrl + shift + I & inspect window will be opened.
Press ctrl + shift + J & inspect window will be opened.

Where is the new Emulation tab in Chromes console drawer?

I frequently use the overrides tab in Chrome Developer tools to emulate other device such IPhone and IPad, but after upgrading to last version (32.0.1700.76 m) everything in the overrides tab is gone and replaced by a checkbox saying "Show 'Emulation' view in console drawer".
Checking this checkbox does not enable a 'Emulation' view in the Console drawer. The "Show Console" button seems to be disabled.
See here for more information.
Before starting open the dev tools console (on a Mac cmd-option-i)
Open the Settings panel within the dev tools console (click gear icon on right side)
Check "Show 'Emulation' view in console drawer (looks like you have already done this step) and close screen
Switch to the sources tab of the dev tools console
Press Esc to bring up a screen that slides in from the bottom
Select the Emulation tab on that second screen
There is also a note in the link above stating:
Note: Emulation tools within DevTools were previously contained within
an Overrides pane inside the Settings panel. The Emulation panel is
the new Overrides pane.
After installing Chrome (or the bleeding edge version Chrome Canary) you should be able to do proper mobile emulation within Chrome's Developer Tools. I usually activate them by Right Clicking > Inspect Element
For visual learners like myself, I just included a full screenshot.
I'm running Google Chrome version 58.0.3029.110, where the Emulation is no longer available, but all of the features are still available:
Device & Screen
Press Ctl + shift + m or click on Toggle device toolbar, you'll find these in the upper middle of your browser tab. (You'll find more options in the More option section.)
User Agent & Sensors
User Agent is now renamed as Network Conditions and can be found in the Customise and control DevTools > More tools > Network conditions. Sensors can also be found in the same location (ie. Customise and control DevTools > More tools > Sensors).
"Show Emulation view in console drawer" message confusing.
Generally our chrome dev tool bar tab selected as a console tab or we try to find out in console tab.
Problem is , Console drawer will not opened when your console tab selected.
I seem to have solved it. When I upgraded to Chrome Canary (Version 34.0.1789.0 canary) the problem was solved.
http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en/chrome/browser/canary.html
I run into this problem, and it took me a while to figure it out, despite the answers here. I am on Version 37.0.2062.103 m. First, in this version, there is no Override pane, neither "Show 'Emulation' view in console drawer either. It is turned on by default (I guess), but a little bit hidden. The key is to first press ESC key in dev mode (now I'm not sure if it's on by default). You should see a pane with 4 "tabs" including "Emulation" at the bottom. I quoted tabs because it appeared more like a status bar to me and I keep clicking it and nothing happens, until I accidentally resized the pane.
Sweet... This behaviour (running device emulation and debug mode) works in Chromium on Linux Ubuntu by hitting F12 and then the drawer icon. :)
