What shortcuts are listed on this Google Chrome page?

The page covers 160 keyboard and mouse shortcuts for Chrome on macOS and Windows, split into five sections: Address bar, Google Chrome feature, Mouse, Tab and window, and Webpage.

Which sections are worth learning first?

Tab and window shortcuts are the most immediately useful for daily browsing since you're opening, closing, and switching tabs constantly. Address bar shortcuts follow closely if you use Chrome's omnibox to search or navigate.

How do the shortcuts differ between Mac and Windows?

The difference is almost always Cmd vs. Ctrl, with a handful of exceptions where a shortcut uses a Mac-only key or takes a different combination entirely. The page lists both variants side by side so you can see the exact mapping without guessing.
