A fond farewell to vertical tabs in Google Chrome
08 Nov 2011 by Evan Wondrasek / 21 Comments
Tabbed browsing is nothing new, but I’ve always felt that something wasn’t quite right with how tabs were displayed. After an enthusiastic web browsing session, I’d often end up with a horizontal disaster of disorganized tabs. With computer displays getting wider and not taller, why were browsers cramming tabs into my precious vertical space? Horizontal Tabs in Google Chrome When...

Google Brings Back Offline Support to Gmail, Adds Offline Docs and Calendar
02 Sep 2011 by Craig Lloyd
Ever since the demise of Google Gears back in December 2009, we’ve always been yearning to get some kind of offline support back to our essential Google applications. Finally, they’ve added offline mode to Gmail, Docs and Calendars. However, it’s only available through the Chrome web browser. Why only Chrome, you ask? Well, Google says that other browsers haven’t implemente...

Write Blog Posts From Inside Your Browser with ScribeFire
11 Jul 2011 by Scott Nesbitt
That seems kind of obvious, doesn’t it? Blogging from insider your browser, I mean. That’s how most people do it — go to whatever blogging site they use, log in, and start typing. But that’s not necessarily the best way. And it’s not the most convenient, either, especially if you have more than one blog. So, what is the best way? That depends on your needs. But a good...

TweetDeck for Chrome is a Flexible, Lightweight Version of its Desktop Counterpart
19 Apr 2011 by Evan Wondrasek / 7 Comments
TweetDeck Desktop is arguably one of the best desktop Twitter clients for power users. It offers endless columns of information, multiple account support, and many features that Twitter itself had to copy. This app can basically do it all, and might even be getting purchased for $50 million by Twitter. My only major complaint is that TweetDeck Desktop runs on Adobe Air, and while I have no qualms ...

Chrome: ‘New Tabs At End’ Puts New Tabs at the End
10 Mar 2011 by Evan Wondrasek / 2 Comments
Never has a title been more self-explanatory. Chris Finke, who has previously developed killer Firefox add-ons like TwitterBar, ScribeFire, and the innovative TapSure for mobile Firefox, recently brought some much-needed functionality to Google’s Chrome web browser: the ability to open new tabs at the end of the tab bar, just like Firefox. If you have a group of tabs open in Google Chrome a...

Score Great Deals on Woot.com with Firefox and Chrome Browser Extensions
20 Oct 2010 by Evan Wondrasek / 5 Comments
If you don’t know what Woot! is, it’s a site sells a single item each day (usually at an exciting price). There are several different versions of the site – selling things like shirts, wine, and stuff for kids - but the original Woot! is the place where most of the action happens. Every once in awhile, Woot! has a “Woot-Off”, where they abandon their usual deal-a-day methodology a...

Make Gmail into a Carnival with 0Boxer, Earn Rewards for Being Productive
07 Oct 2010 by Kevin Ivanca / 2 Comments
Time to face hard facts: Checking your Gmail inbox is not the most enjoyable thing you do during the day. To be honest, it can be quite boring, really. Reading, replying, trashing, and repeat; it never ends. Even using Priority Inbox doesn’t solve the mediocrity email sorting creates. Wouldn’t it be great if you could actually get recognition for your inboxing skills? Should...

How to Fix Chrome’s Broken RSS Feed Handling
28 Sep 2010 by Evan Wondrasek / 1 Comment
If you’ve ever tried opening an RSS feed in Google Chrome, you may have been dismayed to find that it does a horrible job of handling them. RSS feeds (like ours) are meant to provide an easy subscription method to a website, allowing you to view your favorite websites all in one place with an RSS aggregator like Google Reader. I use Google Reader to help manage the dozens of sites I fo...

How to Enable Vertical Tabs in Google Chrome
23 Jul 2010 by Evan Wondrasek / 19 Comments
Update: Vertical tabs have now been removed by the Chrome development team. Read more: A fond farewell to vertical tabs in Google Chrome I’ve been using Google’s Chrome web browser exclusively for a few months now, but one of the things I miss most about Firefox is the ability to view my tabs vertically rather than across the top of my browser. I’m a pretty aggressive tab user...
