In case if you want to try out something extremely diverse, then you need to use all the modifications on the Chrome. All these creativities are created by the astonishingly fast V8 JavaScript engine. Right from the simplest parameters to the intricate ones, here are the coolest hacks to tame the Chrome.

Get more suggestions

There is a special URL search bar on the Google Chrome which is called the OmniBox, it automatically creates a pull down list of suggestions for all the matching websites. This is limited to only five sites per search by default; it comes across as being something pretty restrictive.

There is a way to increase the number of suggestions on the OmniBox. You can extend the number of suggestions based on your requirements.

Get rid of the surfing history

All the sites that you have visited will be shown in the browser’s OmniBox and this can cause a problem if you happen to share your computer with other people. You can simply clear the data and save your privacy. However, clearing up all the data will lead to clearing out the entire history, which might not be appropriate for other users. Another solution is that you could switch to the “anonymous” mode, to make sure that no search data is recorded.

There is a small utility called the Google Chrome Backup. This is for free and comes along with all the tools that allow you to create a backup of all the data that has been surfed on the internet.

RSS Feeds

One of the biggest disappointments when the Chrome was introduced in the market was that it did not include an RSS feed reader. Google smartly assumed that the net users would stick to the simple web based reader instead of looking for one on the Chrome. However, the new Chrome has incorporated an RSS feed section besides the bookmarking tab on the browser itself.

Read the “About” Pages of Chrome

if you ever need to know what’s going on with the inner most sections of the Chrome then you better be reading the “About” pages regularly. It contains all the recent developments in the browser as well as detailed information about the performance.

Development details issued through the Chromium Developer page reveal that build 1.56.1 wprks with a new form of Webkit with lots of fixes. Webkit is the open source code to render web pages.

156.1 uses version 528.8 from the WebKit source tree. This version goes beyond the code that powers Safari 3.1, empowering new features such as CSS gradients, CSS canvas drawing, CSS reflections and CSS masks.

Other improvements to the code base include Form Autocomplete, which enables Google Chrome to remember what you’ve typed into fields on web pages. Something  typed in the form again,  will cause to match any previous values with what what is typed later.

The company also has enhanced Chrome’s zoom functionality. Pressing CTRL and + will not just increased the page text size, in 156.1, this command will scale every element on it.

An ‘auto scroll’ function has also been made possible through a mouse click. Google Chrome will also enable google bookmark imports. The new Chrome build also features new HTTP network code with own implementation (for greater stability) and experimental user script support similar to Firebox’s Grease monkey.

Build 156.1 has all of these code changes from the main source code since 154.0 was branched in October.

There are some pieces of information on Mozilla’s bolg which say: “Symbian saw a 49.8 percent sale of the total handset sales during third quarter next year and similarly it was 57 percent in the second quarter while, as Gartner revealed Windows Mobile saw a 11.1 percent and Linux 7.2percent.

“So to cover that space it is essential for Mozilla to have a good place on Symbian as well.”
It shows that the release of Firefox as a Mobile browser is being made considering not mere one or two handsets, but going on multiple handsets

There is sad news for iPhone lovers as it has also been mentioned that some other platforms like RIM, Android and iPhone also have a good market share but Firefox can’t be deployed because of technical and licensing reasons.

However, people who are using N96 will soon get Firefox Mobile in their handsets and it’s really awesome indeed.
