Sugestions:
Website Specific
1. website manager where you can set up security levels for particular websites,
and manually edit/delete their cookies, and set prefrences for one specific website at
a time, (and a default prefs which would be the prefs for unspecified webpages)
Here are some of the prefrences that could be put in there
a. check box, that allows users to refresh the webpage automatically, if user loads it
via back button
b. security level for a specific site, including disableing cookies for that site
c. any/all features/extensions/and even bookmarks can be set per site (would default
as how you normally have eveything)
d. Files are saved in different locations based on the site they are downloaded from
2. Completed with extensionHotLinks ability
to set an item or link to a hotkey, so when that key is pressed, the link is activated,
even if that webpage, isnt the active tab, should also be able to set hotlinks to
bookmarks.
Shortcut Manager
webpage
3. Recent Links the browser already shows you any visited links on a webpage,
but it would be nice if it also showed when you visited those links. Solution, links
visited within 10 hours would have a double underline, older links would have a single
underline
4. Highlighting webpage done with extension
allows you to highlight text from a webpage , easily, the highlights
should stay if the user saves a local copy of the webpage.., also numbers on the
numbpad, could corispond with highlighted stuff (alt+1 to go to the first highlighted,
alt+11 goes to the 11th, same with tabs, dont just stick to the first 9 tabs, and show
tab/highlight numbers)
Security
5. Power Extensions extensions need full power to do anything (if specifically reviewed and aproved)
6. Adblock there is an extension for it, but would be better built in
RightClick\MarkAsPopUP ability to right click, and mark element
as popup, google then removes the popup, replacing it with whatever the background
should be (and maybe send the data to google, and add it to a 'popup list'
Preformance
7. Memory Allocation Limit the ammount of memory an extension can use. It would
have 2 limits; while the extension is active (it has been recently used by the user),
and InActive (the extension hasnt been used recently, so it is removed from memory)
8. Settings Plans every feature in chrome, should be able to be turned off, or on,
In addition, each feature should have a description, and a speed rating (how much it
slows the browser down), the user should be able to save multiple plans, and switch
back and forth between them (sometimes i really need all the speed i can get, but i
dont want to go without features the rest of the time, )
9. Inbound/Outbound-File Zipping Im aware that some inbound files are 'gzip'ed which saves bandwith and increases transfer rate for webpages. It would be nice however if 'larger' (inbound AND outbound) were zipped, if google calculates it to save time (zip+upload is less time than just upload.) zipping files b4 sending to the user would require a google server to download the file, then zip it, and send it to the user, so in most cases (except with users with limited bandwith) this wouldnt be as effecient as outbound files)
Misc
10. Extension ExistPicInTab When an image
is 'opened in new tab' chrome should create a webpage, with your picture in the center.
The webpage would have the following options: crop, resize, zoom level (as a sliding
bar), Enhance Photo, Save photo, Share (google docs, photobucket, ect)
11.Partially completed via extensions Run Java
IF - Basically runs a selected script if specific conditions are met
12. Doc Manipulation any .txt or .doc files should be editable in the
browser when opened, it could also have some options (bold, italic, autolinking,
colored text, ect, depending on what the file format allows)
13. DefaultFileOpen If a local file is set as a bookmark, and clicked, it should
open with its default program, unless its one of chromes filetypes. (rather than being
downloaded again)
14. Completed VIA extension Session
Saving Would save everything about a session including field data, your position
on a movie, and all your tabs.
15. Dictionary Search would search google for the selected, with the "Define:"
prefix (under the right click options, IF a single word/phrase is selected.
I made a bookmarklet for this, if anyone is interested:Code:javascript:var%20t= ((window.getSelection&&window.getSelection())|| (document.getSelection&&document.getSelection())|| (document.selection&&document.selection.createRange&&document.selection.createRange ().text));var%20e=(document.charset||document.characterSet);if(t!='') {location.href='http://www.google.com/search? rlz=1C1GGLS_enUS338US338&aq=f&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=define:+'+t +'&hl=en&langpair=auto|en&tbb=1&ie='+e;}else{location.href='http://www.google.com';};
16. Extension created (by google) Similar
Pages Finds similar webpages.. (possibly by factoring in large fonted text, and
uncommon/area specific words)
17. better Documentation (add an about:help which would show a page with all of
the available commands, and what they do.., along with links to other things (hot-keys,
and customization)
Bookmarks/tabs
18. BookmarkTree Allows the user to give folders urls (so on ctrl+click, a specific action can be taken) a good use for this is say i have 20 links to webpages on the same website, i could now make the sites homepage the folders directory, saving me an extra click, and making things just a little more organized
19. SameNameID When bookmarks have the same name (asuming the name wasnt given by the user), especially in the same folder, it can get confusing which is which (chrome could rename each oldname_#)
20. Bookmark commandlines file extensions that can go on the end of bookmarks
that can dictate how they are opened, heres a few:
- NewWindow, - NewTab, - OpenWithprogram location), - Icognito, -no flash, -
InBrowser(opens in a different webbrowser on your computer, since some sites still bug)
21. Completed with extension, but should probably be integrated
TabsPage would generate a list of all the open tabs in this
window, with this list you can navigate through large amounts of tabs, and still see
their information (name - url - TimeCreated?), it would add a scrollbar, if more tabs
were open than could fit in the window. (would still be better built in, and likely
take less memory)
22. Folder Locks Sometimes I want to Open 4-5 links from the same folder, rather
than the current method, (10 clicks if the folder is in your root, 15 if its in its own
folder) It would be 1 click for every folder deep + 1 to unsecure the folder+ the 5
clicks (saving about half the time, in 1 folder, and 2/3 the time if its in 2)
23. FolderDrag you can already drag individual files/links, but shareing would be easier if you could drag folders aswell, or atleast an option to 'save bookmarks bar to desktop' which creates folder named bookmarksbar, and has all your directories
24. Arrange By: lets you sort; bookmarks, history, and tabs. Automatically, by
such things as: last used, first created, and times clicked.(non-dynamic, so it wont
change on you randomly)
25. Tabs/bookmarks Marking Instead of Pin Tabs, an option to Highlight tabs, in
a specific, without locking them from movement/closing. Bookmarks would also have an
option under edit to be highlight in a spefic color, when the bookmark is opened, this
color would transfer to the corisponding tab.
26. Downloads Like the downloads page, except as a folder(that CAN be locked
open on your current tab, but doesnt automatically open when you are downloading),
alowing removal of the download strip. (which I dislike), would make a nice extension,
if disabling the download strip was an option, and locking an extension "open" was
possible. (files could be drag and dropped from there just as easily)
27. partially completed (they can be hid in a list arrow)
Extensions In Folders The ability to store extensions in folder, and to "freeze"
them, making them not take any resources untill needed. (a frozen extension would
remain frozen, every time the browser is run, and would only run when its button was
pressed.)
28. Another Bookmark Row One row may not be enough for everyone, I suggest that
If the ammount of bookmark Space needed exceeds that of the current row (the >> thing
has to apear), a dialog pops up asking the user if they would like to add another row
to their bookmarks bar. This row would automatically dissapear if there are nolonger
enough bookmarks to overflow onto it.
29. Special History A history page, specifically for: downloads, bookmarks, and
installed extensions, so you can easily find the links back to anything you download,
or restore deleted bookmarks/extensions
30. Tab Subscriptions user right clicks a tab, and clicks:
SubscribeShort then google automatically refreshes that webpage, every minute or
2, untill it notices a change, then that tab would flash, untill the user checks it..
SubscribeLong which would do all of the above, except continue to check the tab
even after it has been closed (maybe every 2 hours?), to check "SubscribeLong" tabs,
you would have to check a "Subscribed Pages" folder, where it would show all of your
subscribed pages (flashing if new content), with the ability to unsubscribe to them
Unsubscribe which would remove any subscriptions you had on that particular page
(Note: The browser would only check while its running, and would check on startup, if
it has been 2 hours since it has last checked.
31. Newtab History - If something is opened in a new tab, the parrent tabs history should be transfered over to it.
Omnibox:
32. Chrome Commands there aren't very commands out there right now, so heres a
list of a few that could be added (maybe users can add their own?)
such as:
"C:\filepath'
!SaveTo: (filepath would be put here, maybe it could prompt a "browse for file-path"
this would change the save path of downloaded files, (until your session ends?)
!Lockdown - would lock down all bandwith usage, pausing all downloads ect
!Help would bring up help menue, with a list of cmds, and other help stuffs
!Help: (topic) would give a further list of help on the specified topic
!Unbrowse pauses session and prompts how far back you want to erase, then it erases all
traces that were made up to that point (cookies, temp files, history, not downloads)
!NTS: (message) Note To Self would write what followed the command, into a notepad,
that you can view at a later time (theres already a notepad mod) It would include the
date/time of the note
!notes would display a list of all the notes you have written, along with the time they
were written, and options to remove them
!SetPlan: # would change your settings plan, changing all of your settings, to the
plan# u specify (probably restarting browser)
UserScripts/Extension
Duel Search This bookmark, except as a userscript that applies automatically to Igoogle:
ExtensionsCode:javascript:R1Gh7=location.href;L3f7= "http://www.google.com/url?sa=p&pref=ig&pval=1&q=/";if(R1Gh7&&L3f7){Fr4Q='<frameset cols="0%,100%">\n<frame src=\''+L3f7+'\'/>';Fr4Q+='<frame src=\''+R1Gh7+'\'/>\n';Fr4Q+='</frameset>';with(document){write(Fr4Q);void(close())}}else{void(null)}
33. CompletedUn-mask URL's, shows the true
url to a webpage, ontop the browser (as an option)
34. Disable Smileys, would allow a user to convert common smileys, back into
their respective text (I hate those little things), although this might be a little
hard as the website converts the text into a link to a specific file, chrome could go 1
of a few ways, one way: detect that its a smily (pixle size and location in large
paragraphs prolly give it away, but you could also check the url of the img for
specific cues)
36. TimeWarp - mod would have the ability to increase/decrease speed of
chrome (and every video/flash game within) (www.cheatengine.org) also maybe ability to save chromes exact state, for recovery (opening a flash video right back where you were when u closed![]()
button >.<, without a script atleast)
37. Completed, with extensionsPage Rank - Alternate
a rank system that is user based (every user can vote twards the rank of a page), the longer spent browsing the page the greater the users pool on the rank (upto 5x a user who spends under 10 seconds)
38. Alter Webpage Partially Completed basically let you edit a webpage(possibly more advanced
39. TreeBrowsing - Mod Creates a website tree, of all
known pages and files, in a tree type layout, making even complicated websites more
managable.
Cosmetic
40. Bookmark Seperators that little tiny line before "Other Bookmarks",
except placeable by the user. Once placed a user may drag them back and forth. This
would allow the user to seperate the bookmarks bar however they wished (the bookmarks
would stick in there section's
41. "Other" bookmarks Although i see the benifits of having this standardized
bookmark folder (for extensions to store data in), It should be renamed to "Other" to
reduce the space taken by it, or give users the option to choose its name (make sure it still redirects all extensions and whatnot to the right folder)
Non-Chrome - doesnt quite fit with chrome, but would be greatly help browsing
experience
42. Google Custom News a page that enables the user to get the latest news, on
topics, s/he chooses
*user driven system, where any user can either thumbs down, or thumbs up, the info,
when the thumbs down ratio is 70% (min of 20 votes?) it would be removed from the news
catagory. Other than that, news would be arranged chronologically
43. Text detection would search images for text, and extract that text into a
document, or add the text to the 'keywords' for that image. Ive seen similar stuff so i
know the technology is out there.
Un-Sortted (new Ideas)
Find Operators - google search has some damn powerful operators (" ", -,OR,*,ect) why shouldnt chromes Find feature have at least some of these... i know in most cases its not needed... but on some webpages with mountains of text i could see this feature usefull....
New Content Bookmarks - bookmarks to pages with new content could have some kind of notification for such, maybe an underline on the name/icon (nothing to flashy), and in special cases it could display a number on the icon (1-99) for the number of unread emails for example.
44. Scrollbar InstaPan - when clicking somewhere on the scrollbar (the bar on the left
that controls how far down/up a webpage you are. You should be able to double click a
point to instantly pan there, rather than having to hold that location untill the page
finally scrolls there, doublclicking the top/bottom arrows should automatically send
you to the top of the page
45. Extension Links every button on the extensions bar should have a url
equvilent.. so someone could access the extension via scripts/bookmarks. (noting this
would also enable the removal of the extensions icons, to further the "Foldered
Extensions" concept, asuming bookmarks could be placed on the URL bar (i just realized
how much extra space that really takes))
46. Tabs Trashcan - Opera already has it. Basically its on the tabs bar, you
click it, and it brings up a list of closed tabs, rather than just restore last tab, at
the very least replace restore last tab, with a dropdown list of last 10-20 closed
tabs. (note this list should also stay when you close/restart chrome)
47. Auto-Tags - might be nice if when aplicable, the url where a resources is
downloaded from, and possibly the search words used to find it, were imbeded into the
file as tags. (you can add tags to pictures, in your librarys, so why cant crome be set
to do it for you)
48. ChangeLog - Under About google chrome, it would be nice if there was a
change log, that listed any major changes, other than bug fixes. This would include new
features. and POSSIBLY an ability to disable them.
BUGS(10):
1. Auto-Fill should only show up, if the user types atleast 3
characters, and the form data is atleast 7 characters long, that way its only in the
way, when it actually has a good chance of saving time...
2. When you right click, and choose open tab, there is about a full
second delay before you can click the open tab button, this second gets anoying,
because you click the open tab, and nothing happens, so you have to click it again.
(Fixed down to about .1 seconds)
3. All bandwith, and most of the cpu should be allocated specifically
for the active tab, atleast as much as it needs. This includes pressing links on the
active tab, they should get priority (aslong as their the on screen focus) (it seems
alot better)
4. Whats the point of "Reload this page", and the "Go To" arrow at the
end of the adress bar (make it the refresh icon, unless there is an adress change, or
the page is loading, in which case make it the stop for loading, and the arrow, for go
to changed adress)
5. tabs pull away to easy, especially with a Touch-pad. maybe have a
key press to unlock/lock tabs, (or a right-click drag)
6 Webpages slow drastically, when bandwith is being used on other
pages. (open a website, then open 4 video dls)
7. once a file is downloaded to 'temp' for use on the browser, the user
shouldnt have to re-download the file, just to save it somewhere else (you right click,
and save as, you shouldnt have to dl, if your already viewing it (fully))
8. chrome's tool-tips should also display the hotkeys so users dont have to just guess EVEN on things like reload..
9. Sound glitch with videos, makes the videos sound file play twice,
once when the video starts, and once again about half way into the video... i can pause
the video, and the second sound file will still play, this is jumbling up the sounds,
as its playing simultaniously with the first audio.. EDIT: now for some reason this
same glitch is happening in windows media player, so im not sure if its browser
related, or just a bug im having
10. java redirection? doesnt always work,
DeviantArt.com (the next/previous buttons)
11. scroll over data should be present with bookmarks inside folders, not just
bookmarks in your strip.
12. Memory Allocation, All extensions seem to take up atleast 4mb of
memory, even when the .crx file is under 10kb, which means chrome is giving even basic
extensions far more memory than they need.... It should automatically adjust to however
much the extension needs, (within reason, maybe add a permissions tag for use of large
amounts of memory (20MB+))
There should also be another option on extensions, labeled 'Inactive' which would only
run the extension, when its button is hovered over, or pressed, and continue to run
until it is closed or another extension is opened
13. Extension Icons Loose Order - i think its every time chrome
updates, but its still anoying, i like to hide all but 3 of my 'active' extensions, as
there the only ones i use often, so i might aswell have the room for my urls, however
the arangement of these keeps resetting forcing me to move them back to the proper
order, every so often
14. VideoCrash - when browsing multiple tabs, and pausing a tab before it fully loads for youtube) then switching to other tabs and trying to play videos, often makes chrome unresponsive

I have updated this list(June 7th, 2011@dev build), Removing Fully completed, or un-necessary
If you see anything already implemented, please say so, and i will remove it
Any other ideas and request, feel free to post here, explaining them, and why they
would make chrome better, then ill add them to my list (along with a link to your post,
