09 Jun 08 Chrome Hack – How to Download YouTube Videos with Google Chrome!

(Making a new bookmarklet for Youtube FLV download on Google Chrome Browser)

Well, here’s another cool hack that all you YouTubers might enjoy as you can download the actual YouTube videos with a little effort. This hack probably works for Firefox and other browsers too because it’s a simple Javascript bookmarklet.

Here’s how to do it, copy the following code and make a bookmarklet, you should see “Download FLV” as shown below:

javascript:window.location.href = 'http://youtube.com/get_video?video_id=' + swfArgs['video_id']+ "&l=" + swfArgs['l'] + "&sk=" + swfArgs['sk'] + '&fmt_map' + swfArgs['fmt_map'] + '&t=' + swfArgs['t'];

At the bottom of above Chrome browser window, you will see that the video is being downloaded after I press on the bookmarklet.

Here’s the code for downloading high-resolution MP4:

javascript:window.location.href = 'http://youtube.com/get_video?video_id=' + swfArgs['video_id']+ "&fmt=18" + "&l=" + swfArgs['l'] + "&sk=" + swfArgs['sk'] + '&fmt_map' + swfArgs['fmt_map'] + '&t=' + swfArgs['t'];

Chrome Tips - Chrome Theme Switcher!

It looks like there’s now a way to switch Chrome themes (although I like the default theme) using a custom Chrome Theme Switcher:

Download Link:

http://www.elitehudson.com/download.php?file=782885397-ReleaseV2.1.zip
please note that you Actually have to click the download now button if you press return in the code box it gives an “invalid download link” error.
I’ve included the currently release themes that I could find. I did not make these themes and do not claim any part of creating them, I only build this application to save people time
Theme Makers, feel free to distribute this program with your themes.

08 Jun 08 Chrome Hack – How to Block Ads and use Proxy to Anonymize your Surfing in Chrome!

Of course, there’s plethora of proxy sites and programs you can use but here’s a good one for blocking ads in case you don’t have them.

A solution to this for now is http://www.privoxy.org/
1.) Install Privoxy
2) Click on the Wrench icon in Chrome in the upper right corner
3.) Choose options>Under The Hood>Change proxy settings
4.) A windows box pops up, choose LAN settings (at least this is what it’s called in Vista)
5.) Check off “Proxy settings” and in the address setting add127.0.0.1 and in the port 8118
6.) If you have the option, you can also check off “Bypass proxy for local settings”
7.) Click “Ok”, close chrome and restart it.
Tada. Enjoy.

06 Jun 08 Essential Chrome CSS Hacks?

For those of you who are web site designers/programmers, you need to realize first-hand that the Google Chrome is based on WebKit and therefore, it’s very similar to Safari, which is also built on the WebKit.

To get started, here’s a CSS hack I found for the Google Chrome that might help you get started.

Non-compliant selectors can be used and a valid way to target individual browsers. Chrome supports every selector, just like Safari 3.1. My recommendation is to use the body:first-of-type hack, the CSS hack/filter for Safari as a filter for Safari 3+ and Chrome. There should be no reason to target Chrome with the exclusion of Safari 3.1, but if you want to target both, filtering out Safari 3.0, I would try using:
