Chrome


Chrome is fast. Even though I had problems installing it on my laptop win xp sp3, I managed to get a copy of the exe file from http://cache.googlevideo.com/chrome/install/149.27/chrome_installer.exe. I run it and it installed fine. Not sure what the problem was because other people with sp3 could install it just fine. It was probably a disabled service.

Cool things to try in the address bar:

about:network - Network Tools
about:stats - Shhh! This page is secret!
about:cache - Cache.
about:histograms - Data about chrome features.
about:plugins - Installed Plug-ins.
about:dns - DNS records.
about:version - Google Chrome browser version.
https://gmail.com - This one is pretty bad actually... No one is perfect.

To access google's task manager: right click in the blue space at the top and click Task Manager.

Bad news: still doesn't work on linux(nor wine) or macs.
