There are different ways to do this but I would say an easy way is to save your file to your desktop and then once the file is on your desktop right click and go to open with and then click chrome. This should put your file in your chrome browser and then you can click refresh in chrome once u have saved your sublime file to preview it.

Another way is to type it in directly to your chrome browser which may be more difficult if you are not experienced with doing this it could read something like file:///users/name/desktop/file.html, if you save your file and right click and find a way to get info on this file (which will be different depending which operating system you use) you can put that in the chrome browser to preview it.

hope this helps
