For all you google chrome users, i'm quite a n00b with it. I have already personalized my main page, but what other things can you do that make it even better? I googled it and didn't get anything that made sense.

You can switch to Firefox! A superior program that is more customizable and more reliable then Chrome.

this site has tons of google chrome themes. You can request one too if you sign up.


Also I like how when you post a link in chrome it automatically turns clickable.

My suggestion is to just explore the add-ons. Search pretty much anything you like and it will probably have it.

Also to those repping firefox. That is another awesome browser and there is no need to start a dispute. I use firefox for annoymous browsing through tor(http://www.torproject.org/) and for web development with firebug.

I didn't mean to offend anyone, or come off as a fanboy. From all my experiences, firefox crashes less, is more customizable, easier to use, and has (almost) all the functions of chrome. The reason Chrome is faster is because it runs each tab in a separate process, so it's taking up more space then firefox, but going faster. I like firefox much more, but usually it's personal preference.

My favorite part is just typing something into the URL bar and it googles.

ctrl+shift+n opens incognito mode, which is weird. It really should not save your history at all but instead it just gets saved to the incognito window.

Zoomify 4chan is rad if you go on that website, makes posts load in real time

Adblocker is getting better everyday but its still not quite as good as firefox's

IMO Firefox and Chrome are almost exactly the same, I just like how chrome looks a little better.
