    Google is the only holdout on Do Not Track. Every other major browser vendor has adopted.

    Really?

    Perhaps you should have Googled it before shooting your mouth off...

    Google Releases “Do Not Track” Extension for Chrome
    Google is announcing that they have released a “Do Not Track” extension for Chrome called Keep My Opt-Outs that blocks advertisements that are based on browser history. It hasn’t been made mandatory by any governments yet, but it’s been clear that ever since the Wall Street Journal’s series on how advertisers track user information on the web that this was going to happen.
    Already the Chrome team has been testing an experimental feature that allows you to block all new third party cookies from being set. These pieces of information can travel with you and record information about your habits on the web. They are also useful for saving other information such as preferences and login information, but the marketing opportunities that can be taken advantage of with cookies is enough to make some people want to turn them off.
    This extension solves that, as Google believes this is the correct way to ward of ad tracking.

  2. Chrome "uncommon" plugin policy by Sits · · Score: 1 · on To Stop BEAST, Mozilla Developer Proposes Blocking Java Framework

    As you mentioned Chrome makes all uncommon plugins click to play by default (you can even see an explicit note about this on the Java website.

    For what it's worth Chrome has a general click to play feature but you need to enable it in chrome://flags/ , restart and then enable the newly available option in the general plugin preferences.

  5. Re:That's nice, but what about PRINT PREVIEW? by Shad0wFyr3 · · Score: 1 · on Google Adds Speech To Newly Stable Chrome 11, Pays Big Bounty

    I was able to use your link and in about 30 seconds find the following setting (write up here):

    Type about:flags into the omnibar. Click Enable under Print Preview.

  6. Chrome about:flags Omnibar matching feature by Sits · · Score: 1 · on Firefox 4 Released!

    There is a feature in my version of Chromium on the about:flags page that says:

    Enable better omnibox history matching
    Enables substring and multi-fragment matching within URLs from history.

    This seems to let me type a piece of bookmark name and then match the bookmark in the fashion you described but its certainly not on by default.
