The hidden web pages are those that are difficult to reach because there is no link to get there. In other words, they are pages of websites that are online and exist, but are not indexed by Google (because you don't want them to be) and there is no way to open them if you don't know the URL.
A typical example of a hidden page is that of files shared via seriviz that create unique links, so those who do not know the link cannot download it, such as documents uploaded and shared on Google Drive.
In this collection of hidden URLs we discover the most important ones on the web to know, internal in popular sites such as Google and Facebook, which lack the link to get there or because it is difficult to find, positioned within confused and not really obvious screens of options.
Some of these pages I had already talked about in the past, others are new discoveries, but all are to be placed in the browser's favorites in order to quickly reach them and check the precious information that is inside them.

In Gmail you can discover many hidden pages from the main interface, using the search bar.
For example, therefore, you can have the list of only the emails marked as important, using the URL //mail.google.com/mail/ca/u/0/#imp.
More trivially, you can reach that page by writing on the search bar at the top: is: important .
