Google chrome extensions gallery has been released recently, but one thing which I am not liking about the google chrome addons is that they keep occupying the space and making the address bar in google chrome shorter in width but there is no solution to this now. But at least after installing an extension you may want to remove it, you will get some space.

1. Open google chrome, go to settings >> extensions

2. This will open up the google chrome extensions page, from where you can disable or uninstall any extensions installed in google chrome.

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!

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.

Have you seen one? He was one of last week most talked about videos on Twitter, and pretty damn slick. Check it out below and share your thoughts in the comments!

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?

We have seen some excellent screencasts come from all parts of the community. Not too late for you to submit your screencast for possible use on our channels! Today, we are with Matt Fisher. He can only be a year in high school, but certainly knows his stuff! Matt goes to show everyone how to use Chrome the operating system in a virtual machine.

The first thing you need to do, of course, is to download an image of Chrome. Once downloaded, open the virtual machine program and create a new virtual machine disk. Choose the file you just downloaded chrome, and continue in its path.

Customize the settings of things like CPU usage and RAM, depending on your needs. You may only use the default setting, too. VM Your name as you wish. In this case, Matt named his Chrome.

Once Chrome is installed in your virtual machine, you must sign in with your own Google account. It will then be taken to the Google homepage, and you’re using Chrome officially in the virtual machine OS! It’s that easy to do!

How to Run Chrome OS in a Virtual Machine

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.

Turn Chrome into a Site-Specific Browser with Application Shortcuts

If webapps like Gmail have replaced desktop applications like an old email client of the school for you, you like Chrome’s ability to act as a site-specific browser (SSB) with Application Shortcuts. Chrome minimal interface makes it a great candidate to get the heck out of how your webapps’, and just act as a window to it.

To put a chrome application shortcut to Gmail, Google Reader, Twitter, Facebook, or any other webapp you want to keep open in a separate window, open the site in chrome. From the menu page, select “Create application shortcuts.” From there decide to put the shortcut on the desktop, Quick Launch bar and / or Start menu. You can create application shortcuts you want to all your favorite web applications or websites. When you open your webapp from the shortcut icon of the application, you will not see the Chrome address bar, or here, or their favorite bar. Any links you click within the application window will open in a separate window in a full-on case of Chrome.

Assign Keywords to Your Search Engines

One of the most touted features Chrome is how to search the web by just typing in your address bar (aka, the “Omnibox”). To search specific sites, can even the names of certain domain (like “youtube.com”) and then press Tab to search for that particular site. However, power users want to set up custom searches to spend as few keystrokes as possible. Like the ability to bookmark keywords in Firefox, you can assign a keyword to a bookmark in Chrome search engine that uses variable% s to pass parameters to the URL.

To do this, click the Chrome address bar and choose “Edit search engines”. There, you can add, edit or delete searches and assign keywords in the keyword field.

Using this technique can, for example, update Twitter with a keyword and search through Google Lifehacker.com. (Set the URL to http://google.com/search?q=site:lifehacker.com+% s, and the keyword to the LH. So, to find files from Lifehacker on Chrome, LH type your search here “in the address bar.)

Customize the “New Tab” Page

Another feature of Chrome headlining spot is their “new tab” page, which displays a grid of thumbnails frequently visited the website that will help get where you’re most likely to go to create a new tab. That list is more customizable than ever, with options to rearrange thumbnails (just drag and drop) and PIN thumbnails at specific locations in the network (hover over the thumbnail and press the tack to do so) . If you do not need to Eye Candy lot can change in a list view, click the view buttons on the top right.

Get to Know New Chrome Startup Switches

Last year we tried Chrome startup switches that can do several things like using multiple user profiles, always start Chrome in a maximized window, and disable certain features such as Flash or JavaScript. Today there are three more starting switches noteworthy. The – marker menu switch button adds a bookmark to the toolbar in Chrome. The-Google Chrome incognito starts in private, the incognito mode. Finally, fans will want to try Greasemonkey – enable-user-switch script to see if your favorite scripts work in chrome. (A few steps are still needed, here’s how you Greasemonkey user scripts.)

Choose Your Chrome Theme

As if the announcement of the websites were not high enough, the web browser themes can add even more visual distractions to your browsing experience. However, since Chrome’s, well, chrome is so minimal, its themes are less annoying than other browsers. I prefer Google’s more moderate on issues of home, but there are more vibrant artist also. To activate a theme, from the Key menu, select personal options, click on “Get Themes.” Choose the theme you like from the gallery of items and click “Apply Theme” beneath it.

Master Mouse and Keyboard Shortcuts for Managing Tabs

Each user has a power of a few essential keyboard shortcuts in your arsenal, and Chrome offers some mouse and keyboard combinations for the management of tabs, too. Like Firefox, the mouse can click the button to open any link in a background tab (or Ctrl + click the same result). Shift + click opens a link in a new window mean + Shift + click (or Shift + Ctrl + click) opens a link in a new tab and switches to it, and Alt-click save the contents of a link to your computer.

Switch to the Dev Channel Release for Extensions (and More)

Google Chrome Brave devotees want to take advantage of open development, and developers subscribe to the channel of the first releases of chromium to get a preview of the new features. Using the tool Chrome Channel Changer can change the stable to non-security-in-beta to developers or to build stability. The risk of making mistakes in managing unexpected worthwhile for the characteristics of the supply of early builds. In the current build of Development 4.0.222.12, you can sync your bookmarks, extensions test and PIN here. (Also, Mac and Linux Chrome may eventually prove through the channel of developers, as a stable version is not available yet.)

(Dev Build Only) Synchronize Your Bookmarks

Chromium is used in the home and office, and you want your bookmarks synchronized in both locations, in the dev build of Chrome, the menu key, select “Synchronize my bookmarks” to save your favorite Chrome in your Google account . (You will be logged in to start the synchronization.) If you’re already using Xmarks extension for Firefox or IE, you can use this in the dev build of Chromium, which includes the support base with an alpha extension to add a few ons ready for testing.
(Dev Build Only) Install Extensions

Support for the extension of Chrome is still young, but several alpha / beta extensions to check out the goodness of Firefox and Chrome extension. Here are some of our favorite stretches of Chrome.

* Gmail Checker: Although it seems to work for Google Apps accounts (anyone? Prove me wrong?), The spell Gmail puts the number of unread messages in your Inbox at the bottom bar of Chrome.
* Xmarks: Our favorite bookmark synchronizing extension for Firefox and IE is available for Chrome dev build testers as an alpha version. Xmarks You must sign in and sign up for alpha testing for the extension of Chrome.
* And Adblock + AdSweep: Scrub annoying ads flashing your favorite websites.
* Session Saver: As previously covered, this extension allows for multiple file saving and reloading.
* WOT: ratings site integrates Web reputation to trust in Google Chrome.
* LastPass: add auto-completion deeper password management for Chrome.

To view and manage extensions you have installed in Google Chrome, the menu key, select the extensions to open the Extension Manager, where you can reload, disable and uninstall extensions.

(Dev Build Only) Shrink and Affix Tabs with “Pin Tab” Option

Finally, a small little tab feature that everyone seems to love is available in the dev build of Chrome: the ability to reduce a chip to only your favicon, and PIN to your tab bar. Click any tab tab and choose “Pin” on the shortcut menu to prove it.

What other power tips for Chrome, stable or a developer to build, are out there? Share your best in the comments.

These tricks are for those who love keyboards and find it hard to use mouse =P

1 – Opening the Last Tabs

Closed some tab by mistake ? no problem ! Chrome will open it up with a keyboard shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+T. Yeah, Google Chrome remembers the last 10 tabs you close so just use this shortcut and chrome will open up tabs you just closed.
The latest tab would open up first and the oldest (10th) tab could be opened by using this shortcut ten times.

2 – Opening some Particular Tab

How do you switch between chrome tabs ? by using mouse ? Yeah almost every users does that for going straigh to a particular tab or if you use firefox you might be using that CTRL+TAB shortcut which lets you switch between the tabs in a sequential order.
But chrome got something really cool, you can jump directly to a particular tab by using:
CTRL+1 to CTRL+9 (where CTRL+1 would be for the first tab and CTRL+9 for the 9th tab).

Thats it for now, keep coming back to learn more about Chrome !
