    Thanks for the excellent tip! I found this article on how to do it in Chrome. Much appreciated. : )

    You can use the command line switches of chrome (--proxy-server), which is kind of awkward but not too bad. http://www.chromeplugins.org/tips-tricks/chrome-command-line-switches/

    +1.

    I actually got one of my systems pwned (for the first time in > 10 years) via Chrome, in incognito mode no less. Not saying that any other browser would have stopped it, least of all IE; it was a Java -- not javascript -- vulnerability... http://blog.cr0.org/2009/05/write-once-own-everyone.html. This vulnerability allowed an applet to escape both Chrome's and Java's sandboxing. The point is just that no browser is by itself a silver bullet of invulnerability, especially when plugins and external runtimes are involved.

    Now I run Chrome standalone with the -disable-java command line switch to cut the attack surface down a bit. It's not as versatile as NoScript in FF, but you can run Chrome instances with javascript, plugins, etc. disabled on an individual basis. A list is at http://www.chromeplugins.org/tips-tricks/chrome-command-line-switches/.

  4. Re:Still no Adblock though by idlemachine · · Score: 1 · on New Chrome Beta Adds Themes, Speed, & HTML 5 Video
    There is a lot of active work on extension support for Chrome, so I'm pretty sure Google realise how important this is to people. Despite SO many (still ongoing) claims that Google would make it technically impossible for an adblocking extension to work, one already exists, along with mouse gestures, and a start at integrating with delicious.

    Yes, they're all still very rough around the edges, but that's what I'd expect from an extension system in development. Of course, their existence isn't enough to stop people from all kinds of speculative bullshit about Google's plans and motives, but hey, being a geek is all about ego-driven opinion and nada about facts, it seems.

  5. Chrome and New Tabs by DragonWriter · · Score: 1 · on Microsoft Launches New "Get the Facts" Campaign

    As it happens I loathe Chrome and that is, indeed, one of the reasons. *I* will decide why I opened a new tab, thankyouverymuch.

    If you don't like the default new tab behavior, you can change it.

    Yes it does. You'll need to enable userscripts plugins. http://www.chromeplugins.org/tips-tricks/installing-userscripts-on-chrome/

  8. Re:well let's stop right there. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Mozilla Preparing To Scrap Tabbed Browsing?

    As someone who switched from Firefox to Chrome I can bring you good news:
    The beta or dev branch (2.x) of Chrome supports extensions (.crx) and there's also a good adblock method (AdSweep. Available either as an extension or a user script (Chrome supports pretty much all the Greasemonkey scripts natively)).
    There are almost no extensions available yet (but soon there will be more...) and there's no easy way (GUI) to install extensions or enable scripts as in Firefox, but you can do it by specifying special command line options.
    More info @ http://www.chromeplugins.org/google/

    Chrome is a little bit rough around the edges still, I'd like some features of Firefox or its addons, but overall it's very usable.
    Just make sure you don't get version 1.x (stable) because that one's still too behind. I use the beta and it has yet to let me down.
    Main feature that made me switch is that Chrome is incredibly fast and snappy. The difference is huge, and it's a joy to use such a fast browser.

    You can even simultaneously run two instances using different profiles. My partner and I use this on our shared desktop so we can stay logged in to all those sites we don't care if the other person sees.
