Now Open New Tabs in Background By Dragging/Dropping
I was looking forward to a kind of extension whereby i can open links in the on a page in a new tab in background and without having to right-click and then selecting “Open in New Tab“. Ofcourse, we can always open links in new tab by pressing Ctrl + Left Clicking on the link to open in the background but hey that also requires both your hands right?
Today, most of my problems were solved by the release of a new extension on our forum called “Drag n Go” by no2song. Its a very small handy little plugin but is very useful especially if you like to open a lot of links on a page without getting disturbed by links opening on top of the page you are browsing.
Drag n Go Extension Features:
- Open Links in New Tab by simply dragging that link a very small distance and dropping it.
- Configure the way in which you want the new tab to open.
- B/F (Back/Front) Options : Option to set the new tab to open in background (back) or on the top of the existing tab (front).
- R/RM (Right/RightMost) : Option to set the new tab to open at immediate right of the present tab (right) or at the right of the last tab (rightmost).
Download : Drag ‘n Go – For Latest Chrome Developer Build 4.0.202.0+ – V: 1.2.2
Installation & Support :
To install the extension all you need is to be on the latest developer build of Google Chrome, and simply click on the download link above and save the file and the extension would install. Once the extension is installed you will see that it has been placed on the toolstrip and you can configure the options from the toolstrip itself.

Starting in the Dev channel release 4.0.203.2, we are using our new FTP implementation by default on Windows. (It was already enabled by default on Linux and Mac.) This switchover is an important milestone in the development of our network stack. We’d like to acknowledge two Chromium contributors who made this possible.
The new FTP implementation was initially written by Ibrar Ahmed single–handedly. It was a long journey for him because he worked on it in his spare time. Ibrar has a master’s degree in computer science from International Islamic University. After working as software engineer and associate architect at other companies, he recently started his own tele-medicine company. We thank Ibrar for his contribution to the Chromium network stack!
Paweł Hajdan Jr. started to work on the new FTP code in July as one of his summer intern projects at Google. Paweł added new unit tests, fixed bugs and compatibility issues, and is taking the lead in bringing the new FTP code to production quality.
Finally, we used Mozilla code for parsing and formatting FTP directory listings (ParseFTPList.cpp), which was originally written by Cyrus Patel.
In the near term, the original WinInet-based FTP implementation will still be available as an option on Windows. Specify the –wininet-ftp command-line option to enable it. (The original –new-ftp option is now obsolete and ignored.) During this period we will fix FTP bugs only in the new FTP implementation. When we’re happy with the quality of the new FTP code, we will remove the original WinInet-based implementation, finally eliminating our dependency on WinInet.
Please help us achieve that goal by testing FTP with a Dev channel release and filing bug reports. Follow these guidelines when reporting bugs:
- Please don’t add a comment like “Here is another URL that doesn’t work for me” to a bug. Always open a new bug, and give a link to another bug if you think they are similar.
- Make the steps to reproduce as detailed as possible, and always include the version number of Chrome.
- Check if the problem can be reproduced with –wininet-ftp on Windows and include that information in the bug report.

We recently
announced the availability of developer tools for Google Chrome. We are now releasing
ChromeDevTools, which enables JavaScript debugging using Eclipse.
You can set breakpoints, inspect variables and evaluate expressions all from within Eclipse. The screenshot shows the debugger in action stopped at a breakpoint.
The project is fully open sourced on a BSD-license and consists of two components, an SDK and a debugger. The SDK provides a Java API that enables communication with Google Chrome over TCP/IP. The debugger is an Eclipse plugin that uses the SDK and enables you to debug JavaScript running in Google Chrome from the Eclipse IDE.
We hope this project will help web app developers and welcome
feedback as well as contributions.
It is great, isn’t it ?

According to a post on the Chrome Developer’s Group, by Tim Steele (google software engineer), Google Chrome will soon let the users synchronize their bookmarks accross multiple computers. This new feature would be tested on the developer’s build of Chrome and then released in the next few days.
As per Tim’s post, this bookmarks synchronize feature will be using regular Google User Accounts to store & synchronize browser-based data.
We have built a library that implements the client side of our sync protocol as well as the Google server-side infrastructure to serve Google Chrome users and synchronize data to their Google account – Tim Steele
The new Google Chrome Bookmarks Sync, as it looks would impart some of the features of Mozilla Weave – an under development service that synchronizes the bookmarks, history, stored passwords etc accross multiple Firefox installations.
The Chrome Bookmarks Sync feature is like to clash head on with Xmarks – a 3rd party service that synchronises different kinds of user informations within major browsers such as Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, etc. Xmarks is set to be released for Google Chrome sometime latter this summer, and according to the official statement by its CEO James Joaquin, Xmarks will offer more than the inbuilt Chrome Sync feature and would also enable Chrome users to sync their data with other browsers as well.
Chrome Bookmark’s Sync : Looking Ahead
With the debut of Google Chrome OS in coming months, one could believe that this new Bookmarks Sync feature will take a very prominent role accross the operating system. The chrome sync developer document states that the bookmarks sync feature would be available to users through a web interface attached with Google Docs and would also use a client-server messaging service similar to that of Gtalk.

We are having a considerable amount of extensions being developed now for Google Chrome. Last time I posted about the Gtalk Extension for using Google Talk directly from your browser and it has already got more than 1300 downloads.
Today i am posting about a couple of extensions released for facebook. One of them is the Facebook Notifications Extension which simply fetches your notifications from facebook and displays in the toolstrip of your browser. The other one is called the FastBook Extension which adds some sort of shortcuts to your facebook page.
Since extensions are not yet supported for stable or beta users, you would be required to switch to the dev channel in order to install the extension and use the command line ––enable-extensions in your google chrome shortcut target.
FaceBook Notifications
A handy little plugin which when installed adds a Facebook button to your toolstrip. The extension would travel to facebook and retrieve the notifications list for you. Ofcourse, you must be logged into Facebook in order to get the extension to work. The extension would only return the number of notifications you have and not the notifications itself. Once you click on the facebook logo in the toolstrip, it will take you to your Facebook homepage.
Download : Facebook Notifications Extension – For Chrome Dev 3.0.195.0 + – V: 0.2
For support, troubleshooting , latest updates, suggestions and details please refer to the Facebook Notifications Support Thread.
FastBook – Facebook Shortcut
This extension adds some sort of shortcuts to your Facebook page. It brings up a right click context menu when you click on any of your friend’s name. It also supports some predefined keyword shortcuts.
Features:
- Allows to quickly send a friend message
- Keyboard shortcuts for faster navigation
- View photos quick
- Twitter your friends facebook page
- Poke your friends
Download : Fastbook Extension – For Chrome Dev 3.0.195.0+ – V: 3.0

Sometimes it is important to grab videos, images from the page we visit and here is the way to do it with Google Chrome. Technically it is not plug-in but provides to grab videos.
To use, copy the text below and create a bookmark for it. Clicking on the bookmark will call it up.
javascript:function vani_loadScript(id,scriptURL){if (document.getElementById(id) != null) return ; var scriptElem = document.createElement(‘SCRIPT’);scriptElem.setAttribute(‘language’, ‘JavaScript’);scriptElem.setAttribute(’src’, scriptURL);scriptElem.setAttribute(‘id’,id);document.body.appendChild(scriptElem);} var vani_uName=”;vani_loadScript(‘vani_jsLoginFrame’, ‘http://www.eTagLive.com/webservices/scripted/loginiframe.js’);
You can watch the video that show how to do it from here

With old web browsers, we used to have tha chance of installing Google Toolbar and Alexa Toolbar in order to check the Google PageRank & AlexaRank values. Unfortunately, current version of Google Chrome doenst support those extensions and that is why findig out ranking values with Google Chrome is not possible. For this reason, a new Javascript Plug-in has been developed to check the rank of page that you are browsing.
To install the PageRank & AlexaRAnk Status Checker, please follow these steps :
- Make sure your Google Chrome browser always shows the Bookmarks bar. If not, click menu: Tools -> Always show bookmarks bar.
- Right click on the bookmarks bar, and then select Add Page.
- In the Name field, enter “PageRank Status” or something you will remember, then for the URL field paste:
javascript:void(window.open(“http://www.chromefans.org/pr/?u=”+escape(location.href), “PageRank%20Status%20-%20ChromeFans”,”width=405,height=120,top=0,left=0,location=0″))
