Jeff Chang, Product Manager, explains the cookie controls in Google Chrome.

This would certainly will save a lot of your time and save you the trouble of re-opening your windows and tabs manually.

1 – Open Tools Menu and select “Options”
2 – Go to the “Basics” tab.
3 – The first section on the first page of options is called “On startup:”, and in there you’ll see an option to “Reopen the pages that were open last”. Once you select this, Google Chrome will start up showing the same pages that were open when you shut down.

This is as simple as it looks. However, Normally the most recent windows you used is restored. If you have more than one window you want to restore.

Make sure you use “Exit” on the Tool menu to shutdown all your windows at once instead of closing them one by one.

Simple. isn’t it

Each week we will share interesting articles we have collected – news, software updates, extensions, themes – anything. If you saw something cool, Chrome cover related think we should send us a tip! Without further ado, in Volume 1 of Chrome Corner!

Hey, Big Daddy! Skin Chrome with two awesome Bioshock 2 Themes!

Extensions Gallery hits the 1K mark!
Customizers Browser: Rejoice! While it has been opened recently, the developers are obviously much more enthusiastic about creating extensions to Google Chrome, now that the official has arrived. Sebastian went through the available options and chose 10 that they have and more are arriving every day.

While Chrome gallery will not be updated in the repository of add-ons in the short term, is a sign of good things to come.

Goo.gl link shortening extensions hit the gallery
When Google recently announced that they were launching a service to address short, it was logical that developers do not waste time in creating forms for users to use it. I saw three extensions chromium in the Gallery, and commentators in the post contributed a bookmarklet that lets shorten Goo.gl links from any browser.

Google Chrome is now the third most popular browser
Well, that did not take long. From a new release in December 2008 for the number three slot in the graphical browser, behind only Internet Explorer and Firefox. With the version 4 beta of Google Chrome for Mac and Linux Chrome Safari jumped this month. Involvement of 4.4% chromium, was up almost half a point since November 2009.

Chromium and iron base SRWare ChromePlus keep puffing
The privacy of browser mentality iron released a beta version based on chromium 4 recently, and ChromePlus updated to version 1.3.3. Both songs are intended to maintain communication with Google at a minimum (by doing things like removing the unique identifier, etc.), and adds mouse gestures built ChromePlus, IETab and integration with various download managers.

Chrome Features

Just a few days ago, Google announced the launch of the operating system source code Chrome. Within 24 hours the network was full of disk images to run the new operating system in virtual machines like VMWare and VirtualBox.

I even managed to set up my own Google Chrome Download OS in the form of a full VirtualBox machine. I am pleased to announce that I have taken a step further, and now you can easily test on your own computer from a USB flash drive.

Before You Get Started

Before you decide to download Chrome operating system, there are probably some things I must tell you about it. It is in the early stages of development, so there is still a lot that does not work. In fact, it may not work for you at all.

It should also be aware that this OS is too simple by design, because it is designed for use in computers netbook. By definition, a notebook is a small, cheap laptop for very casual use such as web browsing and simple office tasks. When you launch Chrome operating system, almost everything we get is a web browser. Do not be surprised if you go through all this and say: “I did all that work just log on to a freakin ‘browser?”

Requirements

First, you will of course need a USB drive you can use to prove it. The disk image is 2988442112 bytes, so you probably need a 4GB thumb drive to use it. If you have a file on your USB drive you need, be sure to backup in a safe place as this wipe all data from your USB drive. Consider yourself warned.

You will also need a computer that allows booting from a USB disk. You will have to instruct the computer BIOS to boot from the USB drive instead of the hard drive as usual. When starting the computer, you must provide information on how to bring up a boot menu. On some machines is the F8 key and the F12 key or some other key.

If everything moves too fast, some computers will allow you to stop the boot sequence by pressing the Pause button. That will give you all the time you need to read all that on the screen to see if you can find out what the boot menu key is (if there is one). If you do not see anything about a boot menu, you could also try editing the BIOS settings to boot from the USB drive. You can consult your computer (or motherboard), manual on how to do this.

You will also need some luck. Chromium OS may or may not work in the computer hardware. I did successfully run it on two computers homemade Frankenstein (with ASUS motherboards), but not correctly recognize the network adapter in my Dell laptop. All this work can be for nothing if it ends OS that chromium does not like the network adapter. Oh yes, I forgot to mention that we also need a computer with a network adapter.

Finally, you’ll need to download the necessary files to put chrome OS (which is what is called the open source version of Google Chrome OS) on your USB drive. I packed everything together in a torrent for you:

You need a BitTorrent client like ?Torrent good to download. If you’re new to BitTorrent, be sure to visit our Big Book of BitTorrent. You will learn more than you want to know.

The torrent has a zip file that contains the disk image and a Windows tool to put the image on a USB drive. The program used to create the disk bootable USB Chrome OS called Windows Image Writer. It is an ingenious little tool to write disk images, is free and is open source.

No need to download separately, because I have included in the torrent. I just wanted to talk about the good people who have developed the wide application and send them some link love.

Installing the operating system chrome to your USB Drive

Chrome_os_usb.zip Unzip and launch Win32DiskImager.exe. If you need a program to unzip the file, you can download WinZip. If you get the following warning when you start Image Writer, do not worry. You are looking for a disk that is not there.

Once you have implemented Image Writer click the folder icon and select the file chrome_os.img (must be located in the same place where you extracted the zip file and launched Win32DiskImager.exe).

Connect your USB drive to your PC. If you have autorun enabled, you might want to wait a few seconds for the computer to do its thing. Just close any window may pop up. Then click the Device pulldown menu and select the drive letter that corresponds to your USB drive. Then click Record and the program will write the disk image on the USB drive.

Boot Up Chromium OS

You are now ready to boot OS chrome! You may leave the USB drive into your computer and reboot. When the computer starts, press the Start menu on your keyboard. Select your USB drive from the menu. In about 10 seconds or less, you should see the logon screen OS chrome.

Login with Cronos and password. This closes the session as a local user. Once you enter, you should see what that looks almost like the Google Chrome browser. If you click in the field of chromium in the upper left corner, you should see a page of Google Accounts login that tells you to log in Welcome. Sign in with your Google Account.

If you see this page and you get a browser page saying it could not find the requested page, then unfortunately luck was not on their side. This means that chromium OS does not like the network adapter. However, you can still try it in a virtual machine if desired. If you were able to successfully log in, you should see the application page.

As you can see, everything is in the cloud. All applications shown in page app open different websites, and everything you do takes place in the browser. In my experience, although he did start relatively quickly, the browser tends to be slow and a bit nervous. Although the calculator and notepad to launch correctly on Windows Popover little, applications do not work and nothing loads in the windows at all.

To Do List application is not working well, and you get an access account Google.com page. Note, this is not the same login to Google Accounts so that you can not log in with your Google Account. Google.com The login page is only for Google employees. The Contacts application shows a Google Talk gadget not seem to work.

As I said before, many things not working well. See also right at the top of the website of a message that says the user interface development. The designs are subject to change.

All other applications are simply links to web pages. One thing I found most amusing is that when you click the icon for Hotmail, which takes you to Gmail. However, Yahoo! Mail Icon in fact, lead to the Yahoo! Home mail session. I guess he likes to Google Yahoo! better than they do Microsoft.

So what OS do you think of Chrome? Do you think that is the operating system of the future netbook?

Looking at the cache is generally useful in many things, one of which you can download the videos you can see in the temporary files cache. Or download recently viewed photos.

So a very small tip here on how to access the cache of Google Chrome –

Turn on “Show all hidden files and folders, as sometimes some files get hidden and can not do directly.

After the turn, go to this location in your Windows operating system –

C:/Documents and Settings/YOURUSERNAME/Local Settings/Application Data/GoogleChromeUser/DataDefaultCache

If you are a multi-user Windows user, then go to the folder containing the username you are logged into the cache while browsing.

You can delete temporary files or to go automatically after some time.

Google’s browser, made a high profile entry and quickly gained adherents, especially for fast processing JavaScript. These tips for better browsing chromium are Jerri Ledford, co-author of the Guide to Google Chrome Web Geek, published this summer by Que.

Here in a browser are not new, and Chrome is Firefox and Internet Explorer, even in the world of the chips. Chrome adds some new tricks, however. You can click and drag a tab off into its own window at any time. You can drag tabs between open windows Chrome. Even more fun, you can drag any link to the tab area and will open a new tab.

In addition to the processing speed of JavaScript, Chrome uses DNS pre-fetching some tricks to speed up browsing. When a page with a dozen links, Chrome classify the links in order to anticipate their popularity click Next. The algorithms of this seem to be based on AdWords and search history, but Google does not, of course, give details.

All browsers allow you to set your home page. In Chrome, go to Tools. Options> Basics to set the group of Web sites that want to open when you start Chrome.

Like Firefox, Ctrl + T opens a new tab and Ctrl-N opens a new window. Control + Shift + N opens a new “incognito” window that keeps the sites you visit outside the browser history. When forced to work hands on a user’s computer, the window will remain incognito navigation page out of the reach of the user.

Version 3.0 and even allows new skins for Chrome (Tools> Options> Personal Stuff). There are about 30 now, but will be added over time. If you do not like the minimalist look, change it.

While Chrome does not provide access to detailed configuration commands such as Firefox with about: config, there are some about: commands that open for details. About the version displays the version on: DNS a list of all DNS records in the possession of Chrome, about: plugins list of helper applications loaded on: memory shows current memory usage, and about: cache opens the cache internal management. Since Chrome is solid, you can see the screen of humor by putting on accident: an accident in the address bar. Version 3.0 and included in the statistics about the commands (secret stats page), the network (current status) and IPC (interprocess communication details).

The operating system of Google Chrome caused some confusion with the Chrome browser. No doubt it will get worse when, according to Ledford, some netbooks running OS Chrome can go out later this year. Merry Christmas.

If you encounter a situation in which one of the tabs in Google Chrome is causing problems and is not closed, you do not have to close your browser to get rid of their problems. Chrome comes with its own Task Manager that shows you how much of the available resources are used by all open pages and used plug-ins. It also lets stop the process at any open tab without shutting down the browser.

1. While in Google Chrome, use the following keyboard shortcut: Shift+Esc.

2. The Task Manager will appear. Select the desired page that needs to be closed.

3. Click the End Process button.

By default Google Chrome asks users if they want to import data from Firefox, but if you skipped it or want to import data from Internet Explorer into Google Chrome, here is a simple way on how you can do it.

Related: Tools to synchronize bookmarks / favorites between browsers.

In Google Chrome click on the settings button and click on Import bookmark & Settings option.

A new window will open showing you options to import data from Internet Explorer or Firefox, choose the browser and information you want to import and click on the Import button.

A new window should open showing you the progress of the import, once the import is complete the window will automatically close and your data will be available in Google Chrome.

01-If you want to resize the text area, you can do it by dragging it to the lower right corner, therefore if you need to write a little big comment in a blog, you can easily expand the text area.

02-If you want search for keywords, you can do it by pressing just Ctrl+K or Ctrl+E, at the same it is possible by typing “?keyword”

03-If you want to reopen recently closed tab, it is possible by pressing Ctrl+Shift+T, and at the same time, it is possible to check “Recently Closed Tabs” option while opening a new tab.

04-If you are not satisfied with Chrome, you can easily switch to other search engines by choosing “Edit Search Engine”, after right clicking on the address bar.

05-The other major feature of this Chrome is, we can type about:memory in the address bar and we will get a report about running browsers in the machine. Moreover, it will be able to display the details of memory usage by different Google Chrome’s process. Like wise, you we can get many other about pages like about:stats, about:version, about:network, about:dns, about:crash, about:histograms, about:cache, about:plugins, about:hang etc.

06-It is possible to drag a window wherever we want, we can create a new window right from browser tab and we can add it back to the original window.

07-We can surf in Private Browsing Mode and we can try the “Incognito Mode”. It is possible entering Incognito Mode by pressing Ctrl+Shift+N and it is possible by right clicking “Open link in incognito window.”

08-We can directly drag and drop a downloaded file directly from Google Chrome to the desktop or a particular folder.

09-We can monitor the resources being used by a web page just by right clicking inside the page to choose “Inspect element”.

10-At last, you can have an Easter egg in Google Chrome. If you will type about:internets you will be prompted a series of tubes taken from the tubes screensaver.

I will also add more as time goes on.
