A web browser by Google, designed to be fast and perfectly willing to sacrifice features.

• Properly titled Google Chrome

• /tag/chrome-extensions

  • /tag/chrome-extensions+live
• Option to disable tab close buttons WONTFIX
• 2019-02-18 - The equivalent of Expose Noisy Tabs can be set in chrome://flags/#sound-content-setting

  • Has a somewhat-ugly workaround.

2016-10-02 - 53.0.2785.143 m (64-bit) ∞

I'm not going to make a big thing about reviewing this, as it's only got limited use.

• Chromium bookmark separators works

  • Because of font differences, the Favicon "dashes" look differently than the text hyphens.

Usage and Troubleshooting ∞

Case-sensitive "find in page" (control-f) ∞

Not possible.

Move the developer tools dock/panel ∞

• Open developer tools (F12)
• Run command (control-shift-p or the hamburger menu > Run command)

• Type Dock to bottom and press enter

  • It gives > automatically, but the full copy-paste is >Dock to bottom
  • Other options appear (left, right, restore, undock)

Force the allowance of paste ∞

Some websites disable pasting, so they are unusable with password managers. To remedy this, open the developer console tools (F12), and in the JavaScript console, paste:

var allowPaste = function(e){
  e.stopImmediatePropagation();
  return true;
};
document.addEventListener('paste', allowPaste, true);

Alternatives ∞

Other browsers are built with some of Chrome's open source components:

• /tag/software-based-on-chrome
