As anticipated, Google has launched its extension gallery for Windows Chrome users and as an early Christmas gift, it has also released Chrome for Mac and Linux users.
We have already informed you that Chrome extensions might go public by Google this week and yes, it did. In all, there are 435 extensions though you might not find complex and multi-utility extensions like there counterpart addons in Firefox. These extensions are lightweight ( it means they won’t slow down your chrome browser) and typically get installed near the address bar.

To install Chrome extensions, you must have latest beta version of Chrome. You can download it from here.
Some of the highly recommended extensions are:
AdThwart – Works like Adblock plus addon for Google. This extension will hide all the annoying ads from the web page. Note that the ads are hidden, not removed. You can remove ads from chrome by this trick.
Gmail Checker – Displays number of unread messages from your Gmail inbox.
Google Translate – Lets you translate any web page with a click of button. It uses Google translate engine to convert text, websites, blogs and documents.
VerticalTabs – If you have a habit of opening too many tabs at same time, then this extension is specifically made for you. Along with smaller tabs of Chrome (which are terrible to read), this extension will display all tabs in vertical fashion with full titles.
IE tab – For websites that doesn’t function properly in chrome, use this extension that will use IE engine but renders it in Chrome.




Facebook – No need to open facebook in a separate tab. This extension lets you check your wall, your feed and notifications from a small pop-up.
One number – Too many add-ons but less space? This nifty extension lets you save space by providing single button for Gmail, Greader, Gwave and GVoice.

Hotmail Login Problem and Other Errors in Google Chrome : Different Here


When the Google Chrome first came up and at same time Hotmail Live changed its code, many of us faced “Upgrade your Browser” error. However, clicking on “Continue to Windows Live Hotmail” solved the problem temporary.

windows-chrome-war
New versions of Google Chrome solved this problem but recently Hotmail has started showing up “Error on page” refusing to open or send new mails. This is not a particular Hotmail problem, many other websites have showing such errors lately. Google Chrome is a new browser and still understanding the behaviour of numerous websites. There are still some incompatibility issues, which can be easily solved by following methods:
  • First, you must have latest version of Google Chrome. Download it from here.





  • A sure shot solution:
    1) Click on Wrench menu icon near the address bar.
    2) Select “Clear browsing data” from dropdown. Or press “Ctrl + Shift + Del”Chrome Keyboard Shortcut.
    3) Select checkboxes “Delete cookies” and “Empty the cache”. Also, select “Everything” from the period dropdown.Finally to remove all history click on “Clear browsing data” button.
  • Another alternate fix is to right click on the Chrome icon, go to properties and adding the following line to target field :
    - -user-agent=”Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1 Safari/525.19″
This hack will make Hotmail believe that the request is coming from Mozilla agent and will not force you to change internet browser.

Search Inside Websites With Chrome Address Bar (Omnibox) and Save Your Time


Everyone knows that Google Chrome Address bar AKA omnibox can also be used as search box. That is type your query term and simply hit enter to search in Google. Anew feature will let you search inside websites by hitting tab button.

This functionality gives quick search inside websites that you have previously visited. This is same as site: operator which restrict search the pages of a specific site. [View list of search query options]. It is a useful feature if you already knew where to find right results or you have already visited it but forgot its location. For example, a YouTube video or Facebook profile.




search-within



This shortcut to save time for searching within a site






To use this handy feature, all you need to do is to start typing name of website in omnibox. After few letters, website name would automatically come up and then you need to press tab button to search inside that website. Now you can search inside that website for anything.This functionality doesn’t work for all websites as of now like Microsoft but expected to fix this soon in near future.
This shortcut will save time for searching without actually going to that site first.

How to Remove Websites from Chrome Homepage Tabs...............


Recently, when we covered 5 tab extensions to fancify chrome some readers mailed me, asking how to open blank tabs for privacy concerns? That is, they wanted to remove or hide most visited or recently closed websites from chrome’s new tab page.
Normally, when we open new tab in Google chrome, home page speed dial similar to opera displays most visited sites. Under normal circumstances, this is pretty useful as it provides facility to go to our favorite site with a single click. But sometimes, this is not at all favourable, especially when you want to hide your activities. At office or in home there are some situations when you don’t want to publicly display your recent visits for privacy reasons.
Possible solutions for this problem include - using incognito mode or removing website thumbnail from list. But this isn’t permanent solution for this recurring problem. Let’s discuss 2 potential solutions for this:

Temporary Hide Frequently Top Visited Web Pages

This one is simple, infact inbuilt in Chrome so you don’t have to download anything. All you need to do is click on Change Page Layout button and uncheck most visited and recently closed sites. Check out below image for instructions.

Permanently hide Thumbnails from New Tab

You can remove site thumbnails/images from chrome new page by clearing all your history. For this go to Options > Under the hood > Clear browsing data. Now to permanently stop these thumbnails from coming back, install Blank New TabExtension. This extension forces chrome to open about:blank in new tab i.e. blank page.
Now you can easily hide all those commonly visiting sites by above two methods. Here is a short video for the same:
