New Google Look on Chrome

((ps – I have not figured out yet how to change back.. so.. please dont hold me responsible if you change yours ))

If you use Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Internet Explorer 8+,
open google.com in a new tab then do the action for your browser:

Chrome’s JavaScript console (Ctrl+Shift+J)
Firefox’s Web Console (Ctrl+Shift+K)
Safari’s Web Inspector (how to do that?)
IE’s Developer Tools (press F12)

Find and select the “console” tab and paste the following code:

document.cookie=”PREF=ID=03fd476a699d6487:U=88e8716486ff1e5d:FF=0:LD=en:CR=2:TM=1322688084:LM=1322688085:S=McEsyvcXKMiVfGds; path=/; domain=.google.com”;window.location.reload();

Google Chrome Canary Style

Chrome Canary Build

For those who love bleeding edge technology and want to try out the latest of the Chrome, there is a new Chrome in town. It is called Google Chrome Canary Build.

It is the newest of the new bleeding edge browsers that will one day become the next Chrome released. It is a preview of what is to come.

At first glance, it is even faster than the regular latest build of Chrome. It loads up pages at lightning speed.

Google Chrome Canary Build

The best part of this build – unlike the beta’s , is that when it is installed, it runs via a different path to which it is installed (%localappdata%\Google\Chrome SxS\ on Windows) . This means no more overwriting your regular Chrome build if you have it installed. You can even run both simultaneously. Also, since it is installed apart from Chrome, you can also run different sync profiles, themes, and browser preferences with the Canary Build.

Google Canary Build is the bleeding edge technology that falls between Chrome dev and the Chromium snapshot builds. It will recieve more updates than the developers version does.

The ‘Canary’ Part could be named that after the old tradition of miners bringing a canary into the mine. If the canary died, it was not safe. With Chrome Canary, if a new feature is added, and it ‘dies’, it is not carried over into the developers build.

The look and feel of the Canary Build reminds me of Chrome – on steroids. This launches faster, searches faster, and loads web pages up faster. And, if it crashes, I have not lost the stable version of Chrome I have.

Want to give it a try? You can download it here from Google.

Just a little more humor from the Google Side of things.

A search for Anagram returns with a suggestion, which of course is an anagram itself

Google Anagram Suggestion nag a ram

Kudos to googleos on Twitter for pointing this out.
