How to Add Chrome OS menu to Google Chrome Browser – Easy and Simple !

Remember this post and this post about changing Chrome browser in to Chrome OS in just two clicks ? And yes, that page stopped working as soon as people started using it. But, we have found a save fix, thanks to OMG Ubuntu, a great blog for ubuntu users, and here it is, simple, and easy.
The Chrome OS menu is at http://welcome-cros.appspot.com/menu for now. However, if you access this page directly on Chrome browser, it will not work. So, here is the first step you need to do, make a small change to your browser settings
- Right click on the Google Chrome Browser icon on your desktop.
- Select “Properties”
- Look for “Target”
- In the ”Target” box, after chrome.exe” put a space, and add the following line of code
- -user-agent=”Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; CrOS i686 9.10; en-US) AppleWebKit/532.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/4.0.253.0 Safari/532.5″ -pinned-tab-count=1

What is Chrome OS Menu, and What you get from it
Chrome OS menu, is a crucial part of Google’s Chrome OS’ User Interface. Web applications are added to this menu, for easy access, and you get customized versions of few Google products too.
This menu is still under development, and certain stuff may not work as you expect them too, but still, I found it useful. Here is a post with less text and more pictures, to tell you what it looks like, and in couple of days, I will have a post ready for you all, on how to set this up for your computer as well !
So, basically, the Chrome OS menu looks like this. Click on the image to view a larger version.

Google Chrome Now Supports Greasemonkey by default
With the latest version, what I would like to call the Best Google Chrome Version ever, the Google Browser now supports Greasemonkey scripts natively. Some of you might be jumping with joy now, and for others who are wondering what this stuff means, here is a small intro
What is Greasemonkey
Greasemonkey is a Firefox extension that allows developers to customize web pages using simple JavaScript. Greasemonkey can be used for adding new functions to web pages (for example, embedding price comparison in Amazon.com web pages), fixing rendering bugs, combining data from multiple webpages, and numerous other purposes. Read More Here
So, What’s the Deal ?
If you read carefully, on Firefox, you need to install an extension before you add any Greasemonkey script. However, Google Chrome has this feature “inbuiilt”, ie, it works without installing any extension. there’s over 40,000 scripts on userscripts.org alone. You can install any of them to your Chrome Browser too !
Installation is quick and easy, just like installing an extension. That’s because under the covers, the user script is actually converted into an extension. This means that management tasks like disabling and uninstalling work just like they do with extensions.
Note that user scripts are powerful software and have full access to your private data on any web site. So, for example, they could read all your web mail or access your online bank. Be sure to read the comments on any user scripts in order to decide whether you trust the author with this power.
