Chrome Addon: TabJump

Does this scenario look familiar?

You start your browsing session, and start opening your favorite sites in separate tabs, then you come across new interesting links that you open into new tabs.

You have a big stack of tabs sitting in your browser before you know it, and you feel completely lost.

This is where TabJump comes in. TabJump is a Google Chrome tab manager / navigator. It lets you quickly jump to most used tabs, related tabs to your current tab and much more.

Here are main features at a glance:

- Jump to frequently used tabs
- Jump to related tabs (tabs from the same site, etc)
- Restore recently closed tabs
- Lock a tab to prevent accidental closing (only work for tabs loaded after TabJump is installed)

Chrome addon: Mouse Stroke – Mouse gestures in Chrome

(175 votes, average: 4.28 out of 5)

Chrome Addon Mouse Gestures

Chrome doesn’t include mouse gestures by default. But thanks to this nifty addon, you can drag your mouse around the web pages to navigate back and forth and perform other tasks.

If you’re new to mouse gestures, here’s how they work. You hold down your right mouse button, then drag your mouse in certain direction – for example to left – and whatever is assigned to that particular mouse gesture will be performed, like going back to the last web page. Pretty cool, huh?

Mouse stroke also lets you define your own mouse stokes (gestures) other than the predefined ones.

Chrome Addon: AdSweep a Chrome ad blocker

(699 votes, average: 3.74 out of 5)

AdSweep is a small addon that aims to hide advertising from the web pages you visit. In technical terms, AdSweep is a user javascript that defines CSS rules based on the web site you are visiting to hide elements of the page that show advertisements.

It is a work in progress and a small number of web sites have been added to the list of filtered web sites, more and more web sites are added over time, and if you have basic CSS skills, you can take part and help make the web a cleaner place. To help me out, you can get in touch with the author by email.

Installation

If you want to install AdSweep in Chrome, create the C:\scripts directory, extract AdSweep.zip and place the AdSweep.user.js file into C:\scripts then right-click the shortcut icon of Google Chrome, either on your desktop or in your Start menu, and click “Properties”. Select the second tab named “Shortcut”, and in the “Target” field, append --enable-greasemonkey with a space inbetween. For instance:
Before: C:\Users\Charles\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
After: C:\Users\Charles\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --enable-greasemonkey
Don’t forget the space in between. Click “OK” to save changes.

When you’re done, close your browser, reopen it and access www.adsweep.org, you should see a red notification in the upper-right corner of the page (only displayed on www.adsweep.org), saying AdSweep is installed.

Dev Channel: Early Access to Features and Fixes

Google Chrome publishes new releases to the Dev channel frequently. The Dev channel gives the community access to upcoming features, features in development, and the latest bug fixes. We can use feedback from Dev channel users to improve and iterate on feature ideas, and make sure that the latest features work properly before we release them to a wider audience.

The Dev channel is useful for:

Web developers who want to test their sites or scripts with pre-release versions of Google Chrome
Testers who need to make sure they’re working with the latest bug fixes
Anyone who wants to help make Google Chrome better — your feedback helps us turn good new features into great features, and using the Dev channel is a simple way for anyone to help.

Note: Dev channel releases are less stable than Beta channel releases. Expect the occasional “sad tab” or even browser crashes (if you turn on ‘Help make Google Chrome better..’ in Options, we’ll get the crash reports so we can fix the bugs).

Automatic updates of new Dev channel releases are published every 1-2 weeks

Subscribing to the Dev channel

Download and run the Google Chrome Channel Chooser(http://chromium.googlecode.com/files/chromechannel-1.0.exe).
Click the circle next to Dev.
Click Update to save your choice.
Click Close.
In Google Chrome, click the wrench menu and choose About Google Chrome.
Note: On Windows Vista, updates from the About box require Service Pack 1. With 0.2.149.29 (the current release), on demand updates do not work in Vista SP1 if User Account Control is disabled.
Click Update Now to install the current Dev channel release.
Restart Google Chrome.

Chome Addon: Stupid Chrome Tasks

(88 votes, average: 3.64 out of 5)

So, here, for my own use and yours too if you have the need, is a very simple program to export bookmarks from Chrome to a standard document (the age-old bookmark.html file) usable by Firefox or IE (or I would imagine just about anything else).
While I was there, I also added the tremendously useless button to remove all download history as well – another item that seems to not be available yet in Chrome itself.

Chrome Addon: Portable Chrome

(78 votes, average: 3.92 out of 5)

You’ve seen its flashy features and were impressed with its speed, and now you wish you could put Google Chrome on your thumb drive and take it with you wherever you go? It’s far from official, but German blogger Caschy has put together a portable version of Google Chrome you can run off your thumb drive. Just unzip the download to your thumb drive and run ChromeLoader.exe. All your Chrome settings and profile information now save to your thumb drive. This is a very early solution, and we’ll be keeping our eyes out for a more streamlined version from the folks at PortableApps, but if you’re dying to take Chrome with you, this Portable Chrome should do the trick.

open mailto: email links from Google Chrome in Google Mail account (now with Google Apps!)

Google Chrome is the world’s most advanced browser, with many new technical features. We found one missing: we can’t send emails through Google Mail by clicking on mailto: links. All clicks will open up Windows’ default mail client.

So we created an application that does the above: it’s called ChromeMailer.

Chrome Addon – TabsLock

(93 votes, average: 3.74 out of 5)

TabsLock lets you use your Caps Lock key to launch and focus a new Google Chrome tab from anywhere, even if Chrome isn’t running. This allows low-thought, global keyboard access to web search and navigation.

Stuff

Holding the Shift key while you press CapsLock will allow you to engage or disengage CapsLock normally.
CapsLock lovers, this is not for you.
TabsLock runs in the System Tray in the bottom-right of your screen – right clicking on the icon will allow you to control it.
If you wish to launch Chrome with a custom command line, create a desktop shortcut named ‘chromespace’ with the properties you want. If this file does not exist, TabsLock will then use the ‘Google Chrome’ desktop shortcut, and failing that, the installed exe.
Apple builds a 250ms CapsLock delay into the hardware of its newer keyboards, ensure you keep CapsLock down for at least that long.

Chrome addon: Greasemetal – Greasemonkey for Chrome

(346 votes, average: 4.02 out of 5)

What is Greasemetal?

Greasemetal is a userscript runtime for Google Chrome. The runtime hosts userscripts (tiny javascript files that modify the webpages being displayed) to be executed on Google Chrome, similar to what Greasemonkey does for Mozilla Firefox, or Greasekit does for Safari.

How does it Work?

Google Chrome does not provide any interface to develop browser addons. Greasemetal modifies the behaviour of Google Chrome using an inter-process communication channel called AutomationProxy, which is used for automatically testing the functions of the web browser.

Using Greasemetal

To start using Greasemetal, download and execute the installer.

After installation, launch Greasemetal from the start menu. Greasemetal will in turn start up Google Chrome, while hooking its behaviours to insert userscripts.

Once you have started running Greasemetal, add userscripts to the userjs directory under your My Documents folder (or Documents folder on Windows Visa). If you are unfamiliar with userscripts, a number of scripts are available from userscripts.org.

If you have the option, you can also check off “Bypass proxy for local settings”.
Click “OK,” close Chrome and restart it.

Create Chrome Themes with Chromium Theme Creator

(93 votes, average: 3.74 out of 5)

With this tool, to build the themes\default.dll file is far from a click.

Since the previous GChromeRES is slow and image names not well described, I made an alternative way, so this is it.

First and foremost -> Requirements:

GoRC.exe by Jeremy Gordon

http://www.jorgon.freeserve.co.uk/

and

ResHacker.exe by Angus Johnson

http://angusj.com/resourcehacker/

These files must be in the same directory where you’re going to extract this tool.

How to use:

– The zip file has PNG files in separate directories, you just edit them, and build with this tool.
– Test button to automatically replace the default.dll with the built one, so theme’s path must be correct.
– With Build+Test, is a shortcut for those actions, without the need to answer any questions.
Added Drag&Drop feature for dragging “default.dll” and dropping it in order to replace default.dll in Chrome’s path and after that Launch it.

Note: images or icons must not be moved from their directories, so once completed a theme design, backup those files to start another one…

However, if you want to modify the folder tree, just arrange them and modifiy default.rc file according to that.

I tested in WinXP and Vista, with Chromium and Google Chrome respectively, since this is a beta release, some bugs might be found.

o Gets Chrome version and path from the registry
o Improved serveral routines.
