Chromium Download
This has become increasingly difficult to find online. It looks like the Chromium blog talks more about it without giving many clear options about how to download or install chromium. Well, here’s my small contribution. You can find the latest files here: http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/continuous/win/LATEST/ and for mac: http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/continuous/mac/LATEST/ Try this instead: http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-continuous/index.html I highly recommend the mini_installer.exe for Windows XP or Vista. Here are links to the bleeding edge builds of chrome for mac or chrome for linux Also, Chromium is MUCH BETTER for installing and managing extensions ( see chromeextensions.org ) than Chrome. You can install with just one click! And you get a nifty “extensions” panel under the “tools” menu. Chromium install locations: C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application Data\Chromium\Application C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome win 7: C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application Data\Chromium\Application
Chromium as default mailto: on Windows XP
Here’s how! If you have Chrome installed, uninstall it, or this program (below) will use Chrome by default instead of Chromium (Chromium is not Chrome) Make sure this directory structure exists: C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome (replace User with your username) Don’t create an Application folder inside the chrome folder – the next steps will do that. Get the Sysinternals Suite (or at least the junction program for creating softlinks) Run this command: junction “C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application” “C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application Data\Chromium\Application” (Replace User with your username) Download ChromeMailer and go through setup Launch ChromeMailer and choose your options. Trouble? ChromeMailer (as of 8/09) looks for Chrome in it’s default path – your profile\Google\Chrome\Application You can either install chromium into that directory, or install it into the proper directory and create a softlink (junction) so the folders mirror each other. If you delete something in one folder it will be deleted in the other one, too. Look up softlinks on wikipedia for more info.
Chromium is NOT Chrome
Chromium is NOT Chrome. It’s the name of the bleeding-edge nightly releases that are untested for bugs. Some of the more advanced features that Chromium is currently offering includes ftp downloads and the ability to pick and choose the items which will appear on your startup page. You can make these sticky, reorder, or prevent certain ones from appearing. Visit the Chromium homepage, development blog, or latest releases page for more information.
Change Google Chrome’s User Agent String
clipped from lifehacker.com Change Google Chrome’s User Agent String: Step 1: No patching necessary. Just open up your Chrome shortcut and append the switch -user-agent=”Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)”
jQuery speed in firefox vs chrome
so, everyone knows that Chrome is the fastest browser for running Javascript. But it is almost 4x as fast as FF2 for running jQuery UI elements. WOW!

Install Greasemonkey for Chrome – A Better Guide
1. Install a recent trunk build of Chromium – There are several new builds every day. Just grab the latest version, download to your preferred folder and extract. 2. Launch chrome.exe with the –enable-user-scripts AND –user-scripts-dir=c:\scripts flags. You can create a shortcut to the new file and just copy/paste “–enable-user-scripts –user-scripts-dir=c:\scripts ” after the shortcut. Should look something like “C:\Program Files\chromium\chrome.exe” –enable-user-scripts –user-scripts-dir=c:\scripts 3. Copy *.user.js files to the c:\scripts directory on your computer – Userscripts.org has all the Greasemonkey extensions out there. Click Install, right click and “Save as…”, edit the file name so it’s not just “26062.user.js” (so you can differentiate them later) and save in the C:\scripts\ folder on your computer (you most likely have to create this folder). 4. Script edits are picked up automatically; just refresh the page to see the changes – and you are done!
Google Chrome and Greasemonkey
clipped from ajaxian.com Greasemonkey, Chrome Edition Chromium gained an important patch over the weekend, with the introduction of Greasemonkey support. The patch came from none other than Aaron Boodman, creator of the original Firefox add-on, and also a Google employee. For now, it’s just a patch and it’s not yet clear if and when it will be part of the official Chrome release. As GHacks explains: Since there is no way of adding extensions to Chrome yet users have to live with some limitations. Only scripts in c:\scripts are loaded and only if the user adds the parameter –enable-greasemonkey by appending it to the program’s shortcut.
Reopen closed tabs – Chrome and Firefox
I love the Ctrl+Shift+T function to reopen your accidentally closed tabs in Firefox and Google Chrome. That’s the other thing that Chrome did right – used intuitive shortcut keys based on good industry standards (ie: Mozilla).
Google Chrome and Plugins
I really wish Google Chrome allowed plugins. Of course Google is probably not too happy about the idea as it might compromise stability of the browser. Plus it would mean they have less control over things – like greasemonkey scripts removing their clickTracking and sponsored ads. But it’s a shame because the browser is so fast (mainly with Javascript), and it’s also pretty good with standards and features (like moving towards css 3 selectors), but mainly it just loads quickly and it doesn’t take up too many memory problems. (I realize that firefox would also load faster if I disabled some of my extensions, but they really just help speed up my workflow.) Oh yeah, and Chrome’s break-away tab thing is pretty cool. I’d love to be able to move tabs between windows in firefox, or break them out more easily. Oh, and finally it’s pretty cool how the browser has some built-in crash-protection / recovery which will keep the OS out of it. @google – Would love to see a (non-hacked) mac version.
