Chrome Setup

After my previous post on Firefox's EOL, I thought I'd document my Chrome setup.

Extensions:
  1. Adblock Plus for Google Chrome™ (Beta) - General - uncheck "Show icon in address bar", Filter lists - select EasyList, uncheck "Allow some non-intrusive advertising"
  2. AddThis - Share & Bookmark (new) - Hide button
  3. Chrome Toolbox (by Google) - Hide button, uncheck "show image floating toolbar", uncheck "show video floating toolbar"
  4. Drag and Go - uncheck "support 6 most frequently used mouse gestures"
  5. New Tabs At End
Then:
  1. Click the settings icon (3 bars) on the browser toolbar.
  2. Select Settings.
  3. In the "On Startup" section, check "Continue where I left off."
  4. In the “Search” section, use the “Enable Instant for faster searching and browsing” checkbox to enable or disable the Instant feature.
  5. Click on "Show advanced settings..."
  6. Check "Send a ‘Do Not Track’"
  7. Uncheck "Enable Autofill."
  8. Uncheck "Offer to save passwords."
  9. Check "Ask where to save each file before downloading."
There are a few more things you may want to look at at chrome://flags/.

I use the Greyscale theme.

Have fun!
