Chrome: Little UI touches

I forgot to mention that I made a life changing decision change of browser about 2 weeks ago. I've been exclusively on Chrome ever since. I love the minimalist look, the great search features for downloads and the best feature is perhaps Ctrl+PgUp/Dn to switch tabs. Its also very fast on shutdown and startup compared to my firefox, almost Firebug like Developer Tools, really awesome view-source: component ( inspired by kio? ). I love the fact that I can kill some flash/java applet without crashing the browser. So fellow archers go and grab the PKGBUILD

But the really interesting thing I noticed today is this:

Hide the bookmarks toolbar. Open a new tab. In SpeedDial, notice how the bookmarks are shown at the top. Now show the bookmarks toolbar. Voila, bookmarks are hidden.

As for the firefox plugins, well I don't miss any of them yet, except for the Delicious plugin, which I try to compensate for using the bookmarklet.

April Fool

For all those who believed the post below about Google Print, you have been fooled. The Google Print service was another one of the company's elaborate April Fool's pranks.

Google prints your mail...for Free!

Google has launched a new product. Google Print. According to their site http://mail.google.com/mail/help/paper/more.html there is no limit to the number of pages you can print. Happy printing, I just tried it out and my prints will reach me in 5 days. C'mon people do your bit for the environment and use 96% recycled

LOL thats the annual google april fool's joke
