Damn, Chrome is also excellent on Mac OS.

There is no "Create application shortcut" for OSX (probably due to lack of large icon to use on the dock), but there is [http://fluidapp.com/ Fluid] ! <== lolz looks like I spend too much time in WikiMedia :p

PS:

Looks like you can run userscripts with Fluid! Fluid doesn't run Chrome, it runs Safari, but if you launch a website with Fluid, there is an extra icon in the menu bar with options to manage userscripts directly from userscripts.org. Only for Mac OS.. Safari is on Windows but not the Fluid application, afaik.

Can you explain how you got that set up?

Here's one way.

Make sure you have the KanjiStrokeOrders font installed.

Use a text editor to create a file somewhere on your system (my documents maybe) called KanjiStrokeOrder.user.js with the content below.

Code:

// ==UserScript==
// @name KanjiStrokeOrder
// @description Kanji Stroke Order for Koohii
// @match http://kanji.koohii.com/*
// ==/UserScript==

GM_addStyle("div#my-story div.rtkframe div.kanji span:hover, div#kanjibig p span.fcData-kanji:hover {font-size: 100pt; font-family: \"KanjiStrokeOrders\"}");

Drag that file on top of chrome and it should ask you if you want to install it as an extension. Confirm that you do want to install it and you should be set.

Hope that helps.

Has anybody found an extension for Google Chrome that helps one focus on reading?

- Dim images to near-background colour, or hide them
- Make image clear when pointing with the mouse (illustrations related to the text)
- Perhaps also turn everything monochrome, text full black, and other css decorations in shades of gray

It's likely someone made one, but it's hard to find as Google'ing for "hide images" returns countless variations of "blocker" extensions, which is not the same (esp here I don't want to reload a page to switch images on and off).

^-- something like that?

Very nice, here's the bookmarklet version than will work in Google Chrome.

Search engines are the religion. You can find out which one you REALLY like better by going to blindsearch.com.

I don't care which one I like best - I'm sticking with Google (it's a religion).

I just learned about a nice extension for Chrome which allowed me to easily use KanjiStrokeOrders font on study and review page!

It's called Stylebot and gives a nice user interface for applying custom styles to any site

Short tutorial: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/tools-...t-install/

Cool.

Stylebot appears to be an equivalent of Stylish for Firefox, but it has a user friendly UI to pick elements on the page and style them, so this would be usable by people who have little knowledge of HTML or CSS.

The open link feature in Vimium is really smart.

Thanks for sharing.

Apparently IE9's recent release is a big deal for whoever still uses IE. And supposedly Firefox 4's being released next week?

Oops, tangent. ;p

Yes, I've been using the portable version irregularly. People describe the incredible wait for Firefox 4, but in a sense it's been out for ages, it's just that they didn't phase out updates and support for the 3.* version(s).

Edit: Does Chrome have something equivalent to FoxReplace? I make varied use of this for Firefox, especially the ‘Replace X with [blank]’ technique.

I heard somewhere recently IE9 has taken the crown away from Google Chrome as the fastest browser. Is that really true? I expect to test the browsers sometime later today, but I'm curious as to whether IE has improved THAT drastically.

[ファブリス]

Yes IE9 has got very positive reviews. Firefox 4 is great too.

Let's keep this thread about Google Chrome tips though.

Sorry. ^_^

I recently installed the updated extension of Adblock Plus for Chrome. Its inferiority to the FireFox version was a major impediment to my Chrome usage in the past, but supposedly it's much improved now, almost equivalent to the FireFox version. (Or equivalent, period, haven't tested it.)

And of course it's customizable so you can make exceptions for sites like koohii.

Looks like Chrome got updated recently. New icon on the OS X dock.

Just noticed recently that drag and dropping a *.user.js file (Greasemonkey) on the browser works. So it looks like most userscripts.org addons can be used in Google Chrome.

Bumped into this while looking for a YouTube downloader. I found a nice one that was riddled with scripts that had nothing to do with YouTube, so I eventually traced the original code to this script: Download YouTube Videos as MP4.
