Multi-Touch Trackpad Trick for Google Chrome
31 year ago
If you’re using Google Chrome on of the newer MacBooks with a multi-touch trackpad, continue to read. I’ve discovered that you can actually get Exposé in Chrome. Well… sort of. 
Type “about:flags” into your browser. Here you can activate experimental features. This trackpad trick is one of them, it’s called “Tab Overview”. Just find it on the list and activate it.
When you have done that, try using three fingers to drag down on your trackpad in Chrome, and all tabs will show up. Just like Exposé, except that uses four fingers.
Even though it’s experimental, I haven’t had any problems so far. I don’t really know if this is useful either, but it’s cool.
Google Talks About Chrome’s Future and Opens Web Store
21 year ago
Yesterday Google held a live webcast about their browser Chrome. They talked about how Chrome will envolve in the future, and they also showed of a couple of new features, including PDF viewer and their awesome web store, which is now open for users to use here.
They also talked about their new operating system, Chrome OS, which is based on the browser. When it ships, according to Google, it will be the most secure operating system that has ever been shipped. The computers that are going to run it it, will only run Chrome OS and not other operating systems, so they are targeted at people who use most of their time on the web.
The webcast is now on YouTube in 4 parts, here’s part 1:
If you’re using Chrome yourself you should definitely watch this, and if you’re not I think you should atleast try Chrome. Personally I think it’s a great browser and it has been my default browser for more than a year now.
Funny Opera Speed Test

Opera has just uploaded a new funny “potato speed test” of their browser. It looks like they’ve tried to make fun of the speed tests Google made of Chrome some weeks ago (link).
Enjoy!
Chrome stable for Mac and Linux!
01 year ago
Just a quick update. Google Chrome has only been in beta for Mac and Linux for quite some time, but from today there will also be a stable version.
Google has just made a blog post about it: A new Chrome stable release: Welcome, Mac and Linux!
I just downloaded for Ubuntu and I haven’t really noticed anything new, but according to Google there are new features, including new HTML5 features.
Google Chrome has been my default browser for quite some time now. It’s a lot faster than other browsers, so you should really try it! Especially if you’re still using Internet Explorer.
