09 Jun 08 Google Chrome does DNS-Prefetching for faster Browsing!

In case you haven’t noticed, Google Chrome does load sites faster in the beginning due to its DNS-prefetching.

What is DNS-prefetching?

It is a method of finding the actual IP addresses behind domain names before the user clicks on a link.

Basically, Google Chrome “figures” out every IP address of every link before you click on it.

What do you have to do?

Nothing, it’s turned on by default. I just wanted you to know that it’s there.

This clever little feature speeds up your Web browsing without you having to do a thing — it’s turned on by default. Whenever you visit a new page, Chrome examines the IP address of every link on the page, and does a DNS resolution for each. That way, when you click a link, Chrome already knows the IP address and can send you there fast.
It’s turned on by default. You can turn it off by clicking the Tools icon and selecting Options, clicking Under the Hood, then unchecking the box next to Use DNS pre-fetching to improve page load performance.

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'];
