Easy page translation with Google Chrome

From the department of ‘I never knew I’d really need that’ comes the latest Google Chrome update that makes it dead simple to translate a Web page from many different languages into your native one. I hadn’t realized how many Web sites I’d been missing out on until this update rolled through. Then I found myself [...]

Switching to Google Chrome Developer channel

For months I’ve been using Chromium the open source browser that powers Google Chrome. Using Chromium had its advantages and disadvantages. I had the bleeding edge of what was offered by the Chromium team – whether it was stable or not. But, I also had to manually update my personal copy of Chromium on a [...]

RSS Subscription extension for Google Chrome

Here is a great example of a good extension written for Google Chrome. The RSS Subscription extension is built by someone on the Chromium team and it brings in the unified feed icon button into the location bar to subscribe to any feeds found on a site.

A Google Chrome Extension for Viddler

As a sort of pet project of mine I’ll be committing updates to a Google Chrome Extension for Viddler.com. There is very, very little there so far but there will be more over time. If you have a hand for creating cool Google Chrome Extensions feel free to contribute.

Google Chrome’s view source “oddity”

Viewing the source of a page on Google Chrome is, for the most part, a terrific experience. Chrome supports syntax highlighting of the underlying code of a page making it much more readable for us geeks while we look under the hood. However, something I’ve run into of late is that it doesn’t work very well [...]

The next version of Webkit’s Web Inspector

I’m a big fan of Webkit. Although I had been a die hard fan of Safari for a while I’m now using Google Chrome as my primary browser. The great thing about Chrome is that it too uses the Webkit rendering engine. I’ll catalog my reasons for using Chrome in another post. The next version of [...]

Why Google Chrome for Mac is important to get right

I’ve been playing with recent developer preview releases of Google Chrome for Mac and I got to thinking about how important it is for Google to get the Mac version of Chrome right. Not for Google, really. For us, the users. As it stands Safari is far and away the best browser available on the Macintosh. [...]

Dipped in Chrome

Google's approach here is interesting. This is the first real step towards making the Web the application, and the browser just the "thing" that loads it into view.
