What's New in Google Chrome 6? - 2010-09-02 09:24:00

Google released the first stable build forChrome 6. The new version has a simplified user interface: there's a single menu, the "go" button has been removed, the browser no longer shows "http://" in the address bar, the bookmark button has been moved to the right and the toolbar has a new color scheme. Chrome 6 adds support forform autofilland you can now synchronize autofill data, extensions and all their settings. Extension sync is probably the coolest new feature in Chrome 6 because you can take your extensions with you, not matter what computer your are using. Another new feature is the support forWebM videos. "WebM is an open, royalty-free, media file format designed for the web," which is already supported by software like Opera, VLC, Winamp and by YouTube. Watchthis videoin Chrome 6 or switch toYouTube's HTML5 player. There's also a feature that's disabled by default (probably because it's buggy): the built-in PDF viewer. You can enable it by typingchrome://plugins/in the address bar and clicking "Enable" next to "Chrome PDF Viewer". Some other changes: * Chrome has a new shortcut for toggling the bookmarks bar (Ctrl+Shift+B); * if you mouse over a link to a page that has a long URL, Chrome will show the entire address in the status bar after about 3 seconds; * Chrome's extension manager (chrome://extensions/) links to the extension gallery pages. Google automatically updates the browser to the new version, but you can manually check for updates by selecting "About Google Chrome" from the unified menu. If that doesn't work, download Chrome 6 fromgoogle.com/chrome. Happy 2nd birthday, Google Chrome!

Chrome Extension for Google OS Blog - 2010-09-01 03:17:00

Jay Wang developeda Google Chrome extensionfor this blog. The extension lets you read all the posts, it keeps track of the posts you've read and it notifies you when there's a new post. The search feature lets you find posts from this blog and from Google's official blogs. Jay Wang's extension is a great combination between Firefox's live bookmarks and Google Reader, so it might eventually be used to subscribe to any site. { Thanks, Jay. }
