Everything You dont know about Chrome browser

               How to use Google Chrome as a Power User

                   

Now a days, many uses Internet-explorer just to download Chrome. Chrome is Google's window into Internet.They made it simple yet powerful and secure. Chrome was visioned to smash IE and made it open-sourced as they want the world and hence other browsers(open-sourced Firefox) move in Big G's envisioned path. Chrome is getting its way into no 1 position or at least Google is getting what it envisioned . 

It can be as simple as this

or as complex as this when it get into the hands of power-users like me :)

Fact 2:


To use a start-up switch, create a new Chrome shortcut on your desktop (or elsewhere). Right-click it and choose Properties. In the Target field, add the switch in question immediately following the path to chrome.exe. For example, your target using a -disable-java switch might look like:






"C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -disable-java




>Get More Omnibox Suggestions, If you wanted Chrome to suggest 10 options, for instance, add this line as a start-up switch:



-omnibox-popup-count=10







>Disabling functionality, When you want to surf Flash-free, Java-free, or even Javascript-free, there's a list of -disable Chrome startup switches that can block plug-ins, content, or features you don't want, like:





-disable-dev-tools

-disable-hang-monitor

-disable-images

-disable-java

-disable-javascript

-disable-logging

-disable-metrics

-disable-metrics-reporting

-disable-plugins

-disable-popup-blocking

-disable-prompt-on-repost






>Always start Chrome in a maximized window. Take advantage of all that screen real estate you've got with Chrome. Using the -start-maximized startup switch, the browser will fill your screen on launch, automatically.








Fact 3:





Configure custom searches to happen in as few keystrokes as possible.


You can assign a keyword to a search engine bookmark in Chrome, which uses the %s variable to pass parameters to the URL.


To do so, right-click in Chrome's address bar and choose "Edit Search Engines." There, you can add, edit, or remove searches and assign keywords in the Keyword field.


Using this technique you can, for instance, Update Twitter with a keyword via Google. (Set the URL to http://google.com/search?q=site:twitter.com+%s and the keyword to twt. Then, to search Twitter archives in Chrome, type twt "your search here" into the address bar.

Fact 4:





Disable Google Chrome automatic updates in Windows

Launch Windows Registry Editor
Locate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Policies/Google/Update
If you don't see the Google as key there in the left pane under Policies, then you will need to create a key named Google and then create a another key named Update under newly created key Google.
Add a new DWORD value named: DisableAutoUpdateChecksCheckboxValue
Set it to 1 to disable automatic updates. If you want to enable them, set it to 0.
Add a new DWORD value named: AutoUpdateCheckPeriodMinutes
Set a number of minutes; for example, 1440 for once a day, 10080 for once a week, and so on.


Now you know how to disable update.There is one use with it. Did you ever used Chrome's vertical tabs



Google discontinued side tabs, but we are power users right? :)
Uninstall Chrome
Install version 16.0.899.0 from http://www.oldapps.com/google_chrom…old_chrome=6660
Disable Chrome updates:
Reactivate side tabs by adding -enable-verticaltabs
