When I was using firefox I basically only bookmarked sites I might visit some day but not often, since often visited (or recently visited) sites would come up by typing their first two letters in the address bar. Chrome does this too, to an extent, but it's just somehow not as good. E: Oh right, here's one for the OP: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/obciceimmggglbmelaidpjlmodcebijb Better History. There is literally no reason not to install it, chrome's history sucks balls and this is ten times better. Groups multiple pages in a domain to a single entry, segments entries by time, etc. Amppelix fucked around with this message at 13:07 on Jan 3, 2012 |

Not happening on beta. This is probably one of those cases where you are being somewhat inconvenienced for running dev.

I've been having a problem with Chrome where if I delete bookmarks they will eventually come back. I think it has something to do with the bookmark sync thing putting them back after I delete them. How do I fix this and make them stay gone?

When I open my daily pages with Daily Links, not all of the pages load, and I have to refresh a bunch of them. Does anyone know how I could increase the timeout time limit or something? FWIW, it opens about 10 pages at once. EDIT: Since SALR is in the OP, you might want to consider this forums redesign. Please don't derail the thread with discussion on its fixed width though. unpronounceable fucked around with this message at 06:26 on Jan 4, 2012 |

I was forced back to Firefox once Chrome removed vertical tabs in version 16. I can't stand Firefox, the memory usage gets out of control when I use it the same way I used Chrome. Here is a good workaround on getting them back. 1. Use Chrome sync to backup personal content 2. Uninstall Chrome 3. Install version 16.0.899.0: http://www.oldapps.com/google_chrome.php?old_chrome=6660 4. Disable Chrome updates: http://www.chromefans.org/chrome-tutorial/how-to-disable-google-chrome-automatic-updates.htm 5. Reactivate side tabs and sync to restore data Then to get rid of the "old profile" error message: -Open Windows Explorer -Changed defaults and views, to show list, and to show hidden files, and to show full directory. then, I browsed to: -c:\Users\HP\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Web Data -I deleted the Web Data folder. -Closed Windows Explorere, Opened Chrome, edit: here is a cleaned up version of the instructions with more info: http://elementdesignllc.com/2012/01/re-enable-vertical-tabs-on-google-chrome-16/ indulgenthipster fucked around with this message at 17:55 on Jan 4, 2012 |

Purposely using an outdated version of a browser is a pretty dumb thing to do. Not only are you exposing yourself to security issues but you won't get any future performance enhancements either. I suppose you already know that and didn't want the lecture though. I switched to Chrome from Firefox a few months ago and I've been enjoying it. The page zooming is not quite as good quality, and I can't figure out how to make embedded Facebook comments resize too. Firefox seemed to be better at remembering a wide variety of form fields, but the Chrome form autofill is nicer when it works for all the fields. The activity indicator on pinned tabs is a little too subtle to notice too.

The version I rolled back to is still Chrome 16, just a version before they removed the side tabs. The second they bring back vertical tabs I'm updating to the latest. In the meantime, a couple weeks (or months) behind on something like Chrome isn't that big of a deal.

You're assuming it will come back (it won't) and as time goes by you'll be vulnerable to more and more exploits. There were 6 high, 7 medium and 1 low security fix in the latest version that you already don't have.

I just noticed a weird problem. Or at least I think it's a problem. Should Chrome really use this much memory, or is this normal? I mean the huge one, I know it splits processes.

Each element will continuously take up RAM even in a background tab. As for the shame, I was just kidding. Because you OBVIOUSLY had a hundred image count plus porn thread up, you naughty cretin!

It would primarily be the preloading, correct? Before this extension had image preloading, stuff loaded normally, now in huge threads like that it gets very sluggish.

https://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html?extra=betachannel keeps giving me the Finnish language version of the installer because I happen to be connecting via a VPN in Finland. Is there any way of forcing it to give me the right version? I can't see a "change language" link or anything on the site.

Speaking of preserving, a while back the dev release started remembering what you had open after closing the browser. But it only lasted a few days and then went back to starting fresh after closing/reopening. Strange.
