Well written!
You need to advertise a tip line or a forum where you collect material, such that readers can give you materia, and you have time to formulate it for the readers. With the right sources, you could be as great as the “Google Operating System blog” :). So, at my link - please take my material and make more great articles!
Since you can use both Google bookmarks and delicious ‘bookmarklets’ (available at ‘del.icio.us/help/buttons’ and at the Google bookmarks site) by dragging them to the ‘Chrome bookmarks bar’ maybe this should be more widely publicized since this is one thing everyone is complaining about apart from adblock which you can solve somewhat with privoxy or the mvps.org hosts file.
Simon B - Thank you so much for the comment, as well as the offer to use your material it means a lot. I’d like to extend that also, anything here please feel free to take it and use however you wish.
I have the contact up now for user submissions, and i’m also investigating options for the forum as well as extensions and themes gallery so it’s scalable for the future.
Also i’d like to offer a big kudos to the Chromium Dev team and everyone who had a hand in Chrome, arguing over every pixel paid off and the result is a stunning browser with great things to come in the future.
Raul - Agreed, i’ll update this post to place the info in the main content where it’s more visible.
And shift-space to go up a page. Or just Pg Up and Pg Down and be happy.
Thanks for the shortcuts!
Was concerned if there is any shortcut key to switch on Caret reading as in firefox when presssed F7
Also would appreciate how to open Chrome using the run command.
Cheers!

Is there a full page view in Chrome F11 doesn’t work as in IE and Fox.
David - Unfortunately there is no full screen mode in Chrome, there is only a Maximize and Minimize option like a software application. Hopefully this is something that will be enabled in future versions.
How do I get the Shortcut for two pages in one tab
When a link opens a page with no address bar, how can you get it back? Without it on that new address-less window you cannot open new tab and other limitations.

Hi,
put in a shortcut to chrome in c:/Windows/sys32/ and rename it as “chrome”. now when you enter chrome in the run dialog, youll get what you want.
Namaste!
