The world is like a mirror. Smile, and everybody smiles back.

GOOOoooogle chrome

Google Chrome. After hesitating and comtemplating for so long, I decided to give Chrome a try after hearing so much about it. And wow was I shocked! I have 3 browers now and Chrome would have had overtaken Firefox to become my No1. =)

One can say that Chrome is a lightweight browser with simple functions and User Interface yet enough for light browsing. And it doesn’t support addons…….yet (if it does, I think it’ll become the best browser out there. And I’m not kidding! haha)

Although without addons, and thanks to the author of Blogote, he has created a few bookmarklet which will give you additional benefits. Just click on the hyperlink and drag them to your ’bookmark bar’. These are only some of the items which may prove useful to you.

Disable/block Ads on webpage (Adblock for chrome)

Adblock+ Just drag and drop this link/bookmarklet on your bookmarks bar.Ad block removes “java, flash, background music, and third-party iframes.” Thus it does a handy job of blocking the ads on a webpage. who says only firefox addon block ads ? Chrome too has a Adblock type addon now!

Twitter Updates from Chrome

Twitter now – Drag this bookmarlet to chrome bookmakr bar and whenever you feel like updating your twitter account just click on the bookmark to get a pop up which will let you update the twitter status and check messages.

Dictionary,thesaurus and reference

Dictionary – One does misses dictionary under your mouse point in Chrome. No more now! Dictionary addonplugin is also here.If you are a thesaurus fan, just drag and drop this (Thesaurus) bookmarklet too on your bookmarks bar.Also you can add a similar bookmarklet for Reference too!

Google translation Chromelet

Translate – Landed on a page that seems Greek to you ? No worry anymore, just click it and see the translation in English. YOu dont even need to know the source language.

 

Have fun!

  1. Chrome have a potential..
    But FireFox with all its plug-ins, add-ons & extensions is the browser for the users as well as developer.
    It will take a while till Chrome will have that.

  2. Hey Amit, thanks for your comments!
    And I got to agree with you on that.
    Firefox still leads in the competition of browsers.
    But when Chrome releases plug-ins, add-ons and extensions, they definitely give Firefox a run for their money hahaha true?
