What is Google Chrome : The Browser and OS

Google chrome was announced initially as a browser, a fast, and elegant browser. Later, Google revealed their plans for  developing a complete operating system named Google Chrome, for netbooks initially, and then for laptops and desktops. It will be based on the Linux kernal.

You should post about dragging tabs side by side. I haven’t seen that in any browser before and it’s really useful.

And post about some bookmarklets because it seems Chrome is flirting with this bookmarklets.
http://dev.chromium.org/user-experience/bookmarklets

This is what I have

“Rename this tab…”
javascript:(function() {document.title=prompt(“Enter Page Title”,document.title);})();

“Email this page…”
javascript:location.href=’mailto:?SUBJECT=’+document.title+’&BODY=’+escape(location.href)

To change the MailTo client to GMail in Windows XP, (this opens a Chrome app window)
I opened up explorer
From the menu select Tools> Options> File Types
Locate URL:MailTo Protocol
Click Advanced
With the ‘open’ action selected, click edit
Paste this action.
“C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe” –app=https://mail.google.com/mail?extsrc=mailto&url=%1

I don’t know how much weight you have on the Chrome developers but I think there should be an optional AutoFill buton like the Home button and open my history even when I’m not connected to the Internet.

And I agree with about everything on this suggestion page.

As mentioned on twitter.
I have a problem when trying to use Friendfeed on Chrome.Chrome freezes when I click on a link and whilst this briefly happened with Twitter when I first installed Chrome,it has not happened with anything else.If you have any ideas about how to iron this out i would appreciate it.By the way technically I am on the novice side when it comes to software. :) Thanks for any help you may be able to give.

usually, restarting should fix these kind of issues … hmm since it’s still being developed, the best thing would be report a bug .. which you did :) I will wait for more from you.

Would love to see you bring us more in depth news on Chrome OS such as a better how to resource for Chrome os features. the help forum is cool, but you are very good at telling the chrome story. so within your help page it would be cool to get striate to (howto’s ) on doc’s calenders, earth, 3-D sketch up library excreta. Google has so many things going but seeing it as a cloud OS is sometimes lost in all the excitement.

I’ve successfully added web apps to my canary build of google chrome, but aside from the large icons, there is no difference between the apps and the websites they link to. There is still an omni bar and the tab background looks the same (not the short one that I see in all the pictures). What’s the deal??

there is some more things being developed … but, most of them will be like a normal website,

differences may be, it can be purchased, can have subscriptions etc, and soon, at least on the chrome os, it can access native hardware to increase performance etc ..

Right…but I still have the Omni-bar, and the tabs look the same. Have you tried this on canary?
