With the news of Google, Amazon, etc paying Adblock Plus to be whitelisted I was curious what else was out there. My buddy Aaron suggested uBlock. It's open source, actually uses less resources than ABP and uses the same ad block lists (EasyList, Peter Lowe's Adservers, EasyPrivacy).

This guide managed to work for me to fix the the remote desktop (ubuntu pc) showing up as just a black screen after connecting.

Sometimes I know the first result of google search will probably get me what I want, so I was wondering if there was a way to use "I'm Feeling Lucky" in chrome's url address bar, turns our you kind of can:

1. Under Options / Basics / Default search, click the Manage button to bring up Search Engines window.
2. Click Edit.
3. Set Name to "I'm Feeling Lucky"
4. Set Keyword to something short and simple to remember.  (I like 1-character keywords, so I just use "L".)
5. Set URL to the following: http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUS264&q=%s&btnI=I'm+Feeling+Lucky
6. Click OK.

This is a boilerplate for Chrome app, extension, and theme development.

These speed tests were filmed at actual web page rendering times. If you're interested in the technical details, read on!

Equipment used:

• Computer: MacBook Pro laptop with Windows installed
• Monitor - 24" Asus: We had to replace the standard fluorescent backlight with very large tungsten fixtures to funnel in more light to capture the screen. In addition, we flipped the monitor 180 degrees to eliminate a shadow from the driver board and set the system preferences on the computer to rotate 180 degrees. No special software was used in this process.
• 15Mbps Internet connection.
• Camera: Phantom v640 High Speed Camera at 1920 x 1080, films up to 2700 fps

"Why does allrecipes.com in the potato gun sequence appear at once, and not the text first and images second? And why does it appear to render from bottom of the screen to the top?"

Chrome sends the rendered page to the video card buffer all at once, which is why allrecipes.com appears at once, and not with the text first and images second. Chrome actually paints the page from top to bottom, but to eliminate a shadow from the driver board, we had to flip the monitor upside down and set the system preferences in Windows to rotate everything 180 degrees, resulting in the page appearing to render from bottom to top.

"Why does the top one third of the page appear first on the weather.com page load?"

Sometimes only half the buffer gets filled before the video card sends its buffer over to the LCD panel. This is because Chrome on Windows uses GDI to draw, which does not do v-sync.

"The screen wipes are so smooth - how was that achieved?"

The screen wipes up in a gradated wipe because LCD pixels take around 10ms to flip and gradually change color.

Built using Axiis (open source data visualization framework) this visualization shows the historical browser breakdown of visitors to W3schools.com. It has the ability to filter by browser type. Each of the concentric rings are essentially pie charts showing the percentage of visitors using each browser for a particular time slice, starting with January 2002 in the center and working out to August 2009.

"Both extensions now not only show you a Digg count when you’re browsing a story that has been submitted to the service, but, when authorized, they allow you to digg that story right from the overlay drop-down the extension creates when clicked on in the toolbar. Both are fast and simple — especially the Chrome one."

Google Chrome OS is an open source operating system for people who spend most of their time on the web built around the core tenets of speed, simplicity and security.
