Updated beta channel today and now when I click urls in 3rd party programs on Windows (like if I double click an url in mIRC), it opens the url in a tab and then opens another Chrome window to a blank page over the top of the other Chrome window with the actual valid tab in it.

Anyone else getting this?

New dev post regarding side tabs:


So you take away a feature, have absolutely no alternative, then tell everyone it's not important. Of course there was a small following, you had to not only enable it in flags but then right click a tab and select "Side Tabs". It was very difficult to get going, especially for the average user. My purposely outdated Chrome is breaking extensions, I guess I have no choice other than to update to the latest and try browsing with 20-30 open tabs listed horizontally. Has anyone found a way to manage them like that?

I used to use side tabs in Firefox, but I like what I do now with Chrome even better after I got used to it.

Use multiple windows and drag tabs between them based upon projects/content/some sorta category.

Aside
This plugs in to Read It Later. I use it for grabbing news articles I'm interested in but don't want to read right now; the corresponding RIL Android app also caches everything on the list in the background, for bed/transport reading.

Clearly
Removes crap from webpages, makes reading them a lot easier.

Evernote Web Clipper
I'll be honest; if something on SA makes me laugh, I highlight it and clip it to Evernote. Sort of like my own goons.txt :ohdear:

You could just stop using Read It Later. I did because of this:

This just happens with the SA forums. Each time I click a link back to the UCP, or next page of a thread, or wherever on the forums, it adds 10-20 MB to the figure until somewhere a little over a GB of memory usage I have to close the tab because it won't load any more links.

I recently changed over to Chrome from Firefox as my primary browser. One of the reasons I moved over was that I heard how efficient and bug free Chrome is. However in the week or so that I have been using Chrome I have had more enormous memory leaks than I would have had in 3 months with Firefox. I'm talking my computer grinding to a halt, me opening task manager and finding Chrome trying to eat ALL of my memory! :argh:

I have to use IE8 at work and Chrome reminding me of IE8 is NOT a good thing.

What is up with this? Was I mislead with Chrome > Firefox? Am I doing something wrong?

How do you know it has a memory leak? Chrome takes a lot of memory by the nature of its design.

I've unticked:

Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar
Enable Instant for faster searching (omnibox input may be logged)

Google Now has taken over a huge portion of the short interactions I do with my phone. It's pretty great. Like most Google products there's parts of it that are broken or just make you go "what", but still it's good.

I've been using Tabs Outliner for the past couple days, and I gotta say it's the best extension ever made.

  • It displays a tree of all open windows and tabs in those windows.
  • Automatically creates sub-nodes under tabs for tabs opened from a tab. In other words, if I Ctrl-Click a bunch of links on this page, they'll open "under" the listing for this page.
  • You can save windows/tabs across sessions.
  • Add notes to windows/tabs.
  • Other cool stuff.

I need to look in to seeing if I can hide the tabs on each Chrome window because I just use my always-open outline of tabs to switch and manage tabs.

Based on those screenshots, I now see that they must do it by never closing a tab that they are interested in.

Hah!

I actually was an intensive Reader user who now uses Tiny Tiny RSS.

I also usually have 30-50 tabs open but they're never for the kind of stuff you'd use RSS for. Like now I've got three windows open, one with tabs opened from Tiny Tiny RSS for articles and information I want to look into more detail on, one with 12 tabs of reference information for a programming project, and one with 9 tabs of reference info for another programming project.
