Hardware Acceleration is coming soon, to Chrome Dev Builds and later to beta and stable versions. Here is a quick how to – from ReadWriteWeb to try this right now !
Google Chrome Hardware Acceleration in simple words, means this. Google Chrome, will let web applications use your computer’s processing power to function. It will allow the browser bring you more graphics heavy content like 3D games.
Yes, it is outsourcing of processing power in some way !! – so here goes your chrome dish of the day !
Also, if you want to check whether a new dev version of Chrome is out, you can just repeat the same command: sudo apt-get install google-chrome-unstable
and if there’s no new version, you’ll get something like this back:
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
google-chrome-unstable is already the newest version.

Facebook Photozoom is a must have extension for me, and I really enjoy it. Now, I can have similar functionality on Twitter.com too, with the Twitter Photozoom extension, keep the mouse over the display picture and I get the full size on the side of the screen !
Okay guys, let me tell you this first, this is not a Chrome only feature. This can be done on any browser with a bookmarks toolbar, and many of you actually know how to do this and are using this trick.
But there are still many, who will be interested in this, hence a post for this cool trick.
Bookmarks toolbar is where we usually keep our favorite links. But for many of you, the space will be over by the time you put 4 or 5 links. Now, think about this – for some websites, do you really need the name on the bookmarks bar to identify them ? their favicon is enough right ? ( the little icon that you see on the address bar for most websites. ) Here, have a look how I have arranged them
Here is how to do this.
Let us take the example of chromestory.com. When you add the link to the bookmarks bar, it will look like the screenshot below.
Now, right click on that link. Select Edit. From the Name field, delete the whole title of the page, and then click “Okay”,
…and you have the bookmark with the icon, and no title ! Do it for all your favorite links !
Google has introduced a new Chrome extension called “Chrome to Phone” that allows you to send ‘links and information’ from your computer running Chrome to your Android phone.
You can send a web page, map, video, or phone number using the extension to your mobile. Download the Chrome to Phone extension here
What if you have an iPhone, not an Android phone ? Prowl extension brings this feature to iOS for you. You’ll need to sign up on the official Prowl website first and generate an API key for yourself. Once you’ve got that, grab the extension and add your key in its options screen. After that, simply click the cat icon in your browser actions area to send a push notification to your iPhone of iPod touch via the Prowl app ($2.99 in the App Store).
If you’re not familiar with Prowl, you might be asking why it costs $2.99. It’s actually a very powerful little app and can redirect notifications from a ton of other sources — including Adium, Transmission, Google Voice, Twitter, Drupal, WordPress, and many others — so it’s well worth the price if you like being kept in-the-know while you’re out, writes DownloadSquad.com
