28 Jun 08 How to Start Chrome in Incognito Mode using Javascript!

Well, it looks like our previous hack on how to start Chrome in Incognito Mode fails in Vista, but here’s an alternative Javascipt version you can save as XXX.js and make it work using Javascript:

//Chrome_Incognito.js – start new chrome incognito(sort of)

var liWait=175; //wait ms (double on older pc)

var oSh=new ActiveXObject(”WScript.Shell”);
oSh.Run(”chrome.exe”); //start chrome
WScript.Sleep(liWait);
oSh.Sendkeys(”^+N”); //start new incognito window
WScript.Sleep(liWait);
oSh.Sendkeys(”%{Tab}”); //go previous(first) browser window
WScript.Sleep(liWait);
oSh.Sendkeys(”%{F4}”); //close first browser window

25 Jun 08 CCleaner supports Google Chrome!

If you don’t want to deal with privacy issues on the Google Chrome, you can always use a proxy or the Iron browser.  But if you don’t like the hassle of using those, you can get the latest version of CCleaner, which now supports Google Chrome.

CCleaner is a freeware system optimization, privacy and cleaning tool. It removes unused files from your system – allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. Additionally it contains a fully featured registry cleaner. But the best part is that it’s fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware!

25 Jun 08 Google Chrome without Spyware = Iron

Here’s a German version of Google Chrome without all the features that send people’s surfing info back to Google.  I can see that some of Chrome’s embedded featured that send back personal data back to Google can slow down your browsing slightly, although not that much.

For those of you who want complete privacy, you can try this Iron browser.

The “Iron” browser is based on the “Google Chromium” source code, but “Iron” does not send any user specific data to Google anymore and it does not contain a unique user ID. Iron is a product of “SRWare ” – a german software company. In Iron the following Google Chrome features have been deactivated:

• no alternative error messages, when having entered a wrong URL
• no sending of collected data to Google, if Iron has crashed

no unwanted Google updater

19 Jun 08 Chrome Hack – How to change Bookmarklet Favicon Icons!

Here’s a cool Chrome Hack, it’s how to change your Bookmarklet Favicon Icons using a Windows SQL database browser and switching around some values.  It’s very interesting to note that the Chrome browser uses a local database within the program, thus making it more stable and scalable.  (I am not sure if the same thing is done with Firefox but I believe there’s a bunch of libraries that you need to know.)

This is a rather complex hack involving numbers so I will just wait until the Chrome adds automatic favicon recognition feature like Firefox.

But if you really want it NOW, you can click the via link below and knock yourself out.

I added quite a few bookmarklets to my Bookmarks bar and was unhappy with the same default icon that showed for each one. There are no settings currently available within Chrome to change the icon, but there is a way to fix them that works quite well.

17 Jun 08 Chrome Hacked – Mac and Linux Google Chrome available!

Although not the official version of Google Chrome for Mac and Linux, the CrossOver Chromium is pretty much the Mac and Linux version of Google Chrome since it’s built on Chromium.

Chromium is an open-source browser project that aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all Internet users to experience the web. The Chromium codebase is the basis for Google’s Chrome browser.

Until Google officially releases their Linux/Mac versions, you can resort to downloading the CrossOver Chromium on your Mac and Linux.
