i think the main thing i enjoy about chrome, is it's aethetics. Everything, to me, seems polished. I love my tabs right up the top of my screen as i only have 1440x900 res, so space is loved.

Chrome theme for FF...


I'm mainly using it[Firefox] because of the ease i can load Ad Block Plus... do Chrome and/or Opera have a similar feature that is as easily implemented yet?

I fucking despise that bar up the top... where the tabs arnt actually hitting the top...



And kmar... the small icons look shit.

I've decided against it as it leaves gaps.

But how does it update?

You will have to do it manually until chrome comes around. I haven't had a single ad since I've been using it though. The list is huge and it contains all the usual assholes.

Says you. I felt like I was looking at my grandmas screen. So looks > functionality in this case for you? You are a tough cookie to figure out.

I'm bored and trying to get some scripts working with chrome and have had zero luck. I followed this to the tee. It appears that most of the scripts don't work.

If the orb changed it's size aswell, then i'd like it. However it doesnt.

Please note you need the latest dev build...


imo, get it from filehippo.

I actually had the latest dev build.. I guess I was just trying it the hard way.. haha

I got a couple to work doing it that way but most still aren't.

What should be the file named kmar? Also can I copy paste?

Are you talking about the host file?

Right click, save as "hosts" no extension
Put it here


Once again

Before


After


Copy paste into your existing file should work.. just make sure you back it up.

I like it ;D

Compare the two, and look at the difference in pixels. I just miss Delicious integration - but I made a custom search engine that uses >>.

\o/ fantastic!

Just so I'm on topic,

Erm... I use Chrome, and would love to use Opera (which is slowly rolling in addons through unite).

>Get spied on by Google so you can be avertised to

Who wouldn't want good advertising? I'm so sick of seeing crappy ads all over - whenever there's something I actually want to buy advertised, I feel like I've won in the ad lottery. I think this is a pro. It's not like they're trying to trick you... (unlike Twitter, apparently)

>Each tab = new process

Which means if one tab crashes, your browser doesn't have to. If you don't touch tabs over a long time, they are merged into fewer processes. Firefox is adopting this for plugins, as is IE (or have they already?). It makes sense, considering the frequency and inconvenience of browser crashes.

>Ugly as hell

It's a Google product, so it looks... well, Google-y. And the option's there. Unfortunately, Google did not (and will never be able to) hire someone like Higgs to do their design.

Few addons

Even fewer with Opera I always get annoyed when people use this as an argument against a platform, though. Android has fewer apps than the iPhone - does that make it inferior?

Anyway, Opera still has a bit to go - once their Opera Unite and addons catch up, I'll be moving there. Or once Firefox makes their javascript engine as fast. Or once IE isn't a stone-aged piece of shit.

Chrome love...



I only ever have it half size on my monitor, I can't view anything full size anymore! Such a waste of space.
