Google Chrome just released just 30 minutes back i guess( while i was writing). Actually I was holly shit when Google announced that they where making there own open source browse, considering Google has been supporting Firefox for quite a while now.

Google Chrome is based on the WebKit engine and by the initial 5 minutes with the browser, its pretty awesome considering it just a beta. Good thing is that the browser runs separate processes per TAB to ensure security and stability. This way if one of the tab crashes accidentally, it won’t influence your work in other tabs. While running multiple tabs each tab was consuming about 6 to 10mb depending on the website content, flashier websites tend to consume more ram.

As you would know I’m the owner, webmaster and everything of www.thinktechno.com. Most of my free time goes to optimizing the website and other things. Optimizing in a sense I try to fix the problems associated with fastening, code cleaning, and checking the website with multiple website.

Problem is that almost all the versions of Firefox have no problems rendering my website, even opera does exceptionally well. But Internet explorer always gives me headaches. A minor stylesheet changes drops columns, sidebars, and do all sorts of crazy things. Add to that windows won’t allow installing multiple versions of IE.

If you are already using Google or Yahoo Toolbar you probably won’t want to use the built-in search box in Internet Explorer 7. There’s a quick registry fix that you can do to enable / disable this.

Open up Notepad and copy the following and save it to something “IE7_NoSearchBar.reg”. Then merge it into the registry by double clicking it.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Infodelivery\Restrictions]
“NoSearchBox”=dword:00000001

To disable copy this following code and save. After that merge it to the registry.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Infodelivery\Restrictions]
“NoSearchBox”=dword:00000000

 Most of us are accustomed to using Internet Explorer and i’m sure you’d probably fed up of the download restrictions of only 2 files from the same website. The reason of-course is the lame HTTP 1.1 spec that says only two connections may be allowed at a time so your browser just have to wait for the previous downloads to complete.

With a simple registry hack you can supercharge IE to download more then 2 files.

Manual Registry Hack

Open regedit.exe through the start menu search or run box, and then browse down to the following key:

Apart from the cool features that comes with Vista… even the scary ones. Vista is a really great looking OS, especially the taskbar thumbnail previews. Now what about the same feature for your Firefox’s tabs…la Opera tab thumbnails.

Well you could use the Tab Scope extension for a similar feature, with fully customizable options. Whenever you hover your mouse over a tab, a popup thumbnail preview of the page you’re browsing. One interesting thing is that, you could actually inside the thumbnail itself, all the links are clickable besides you can even use the scroll button inside the thumbnail.

Nowadays we are accustomed to having different profiles or accounts for various services ranging from email, social networks, community websites. But you can only login to one account at a time for a specific service due to cookies.

Today I’m gono show you a Firefox plugin that lets you login to any number of accounts of the same service. CookiePie is a Firefox add-on that manages cookies on a per tab basis, letting you use multiple accounts from just a single browser.
