14 Jun 08 Chrome Hack – How to make Email Bookmark for Gmail in Google Chrome!

Here’s a great way to make a Email Link bookmark in Gmail in Google Chrome so it takes you straight to “Compose Mail”.

Someone has posted a bookmarklet to email links with your default mail program, but for those who use Gmail as webmail, this will work.

Make a new bookmark and make the name Email with Gmail or whatever you want, and the URL

Code:

javascript:document.location='https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=1&view=cm&fs=1&su='+document.title+'&body='+document.location;

If you want a pop-up bookmarklet, use the following URL

Code:

That currently opens a new tab. I’m working on getting the pop-out effect that Gmail has.
Unfortunately, middle-clicking the first one does not work, because when it opens it in a new tab, it is reading the URL and title from that new tab instead of the original one you wanted to to link to. I may work on a solution to this in the future.

Oddly this makes the text box in Gmail not the width of the screen. I’m not sure why that is, but it works just fine- just looks a little funny. If anyone can offer any wisdom to this, I would appreciate it.

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'];

05 Jun 08 Chrome Hack – How to make a Chrome USB Drive!

If you are like me, you will want to run your Chrome Browser anywhere by having the app in your USB and run from it.

Here’s how to make a Chrome USB Drive:

1. Download Portable Chrome and extract (un-zip) it.

2. Copy the files into your USB Flash Drive.

3. Run ChromeLoader.exe from your USB anytime you need to use it.

(Your Profile preferences are stored in directory called Profil in your USB)

4. Enjoy Google Chrome Browser anywhere by sticking your USB into any computer.

This is Portable Chrome. Just download & extract and start with ChromeLoader.exe. Chromeloader.exe is a simple AutoIt-Script – compiled to an exe-File. So – if you got an error from your AV: it’s just a false poitive, because ChromeLoader.exe was packed with UPX. All settings are stored in “Profil”-folder. Have fun!
