The Best Google Chrome Feature

3 March, 2010 | Daniel | No Comment

I’ve been using Google’s Chrome browser for a few weeks now and I’m slowly falling in love with it…

Before that I had always been a Firefox devotee.

But like a lot of users I found Firefox’s memory hogging inclinations to a bit distracting at times!

In fact that was one of the main reasons I started using Chrome.

As time goes on I am finding more and more thing to like about it, especially now that extensions are available for the Mac Beta!

However a really nice feature of Chrome is the ability to resize text input boxes on the fly (see the video below).

This is a really simple yet really nice bit of usability, one of those nice little touches that go a long way!

Are you using Google Chrome ?

Which feature do you like the most ?

Search Your Evernote Account Directly From Google Chrome Alecks Dad Devon Web Services

Evernote have just released an awesome new feature whereby you can search all your notes direct from the Google Chrome Address bar.

For those of you that haven’t heard of it, Evernote is a fantastic app that allows you to capture lots of information in notes that can be synchronised across multiple devices/computers.

You can access these notes direct from the software on your computer, or via the web or even via your mobile device.

It’s really good and I’ve come to depend on it.

And now:

Google Chrome’s address bar doubles as a search bar, which makes it really easy to search various sites without actually going to them first. Now, you can add Evernote as a search engine in Google Chrome and search your notes from anywhere. Here’s how to set it up:

Go to the Preferences (Mac) or Tools (Windows) menu

Click on the Manage button in the Default Search section

Click to add a new search engine

Type the following:

Name: Evernote

Keyword: Evernote.com

URL: http://www.evernote.com/search?q=%s”

And here’s a litte video to help you more:

Very nice Evernote, you just keep getting better and better!
