Hot Heart Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 also: is there a way to get chrome to not remember history / clear history, cookies, most visited, url autocomplete when I close the browser? I found the "clear cookies and browsing data" option, but it doesn't seem to clear it all. I'm all for minimalism, but not when it comes to settings. I'm the sort who never stores passwords, clears the cache and history and cookies constantly. Came out to my advantage when my last desktop was stolen. Not used it myself but I think it has one of those 'private browsing' options you can start it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I'm the sort who never stores passwords, clears the cache and history and cookies constantly. Came out to my advantage when my last desktop was stolen. This is odd I've not run into someone who does in an online community but it's a practice I picked up when I was studying Computer Science and Engineering some 10 or so years back. But yeah I'm exactly the same and use about a million different strings of passwords too which sometimes makes it hard to remember especially since I make up some complicated shit at times... unless it's for sites I don't care at all. Lots of times I do use a proxy to browse as well. You can use Chrome to browse incognito but like Safari it doesn't clear the cache unless you quit the program and even then there's some trace fragments that remain most of which can be cleared via clear browsing data. But if you feel that paranoid you might have to go to app data manually and delete a few files. If you're on Win 7 or the like and you've got your hidden files visible just delete files and folders in it except for the bookmarks, plugins and extensions that you need (unless you're willing to reinstall them each time you visit). BTW it does nothing to the program just deletes most of your user data and preferences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staySICK Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I'm the sort who never stores passwords, clears the cache and history and cookies constantly. Came out to my advantage when my last desktop was stolen. Wait, your desktop was stolen? That's very peculiar and odd... The apartment we were living in had flooded (the entire bottom floor of all the buildings in the complex did) so we had to leave for a few days while they cleaned and gave us new carpet. There was a set of storage units in the building for every apartment so I loaded ours up, putting the desktop in the back and trying to keep it out of sight with a bunch of stuff in front of it. Someone had broken into multiple storage units, including ours, and made off with my computer and monitor. They were probably pissed when they found my 360 and Wii boxes only to realise they were empty though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturnine Tenshi Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Opera. With as many images I need to manually save, it really lightens the (massive)burden. Ctrl+click=save, then Ctrl+W=close page. I should really devise a system for "open in new window." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I've been using Pale Moon instead of FF4 since the guy was very quick to release the pale moon for stable FF4. It's really nice though his default settings cry of "wahhhh change!" so I had to adjust everything to actually look like FF4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 So yeah, Chrome is getting a bit of a tweak. That URL bar is only drop down, it disappears after a few seconds. It's not too bad, not like the URL bar is used overly often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I know it's not a lot of time, but it's a lot of times. It's frequent. So I want easy access to it. From what you said though, it doesn't sound like access is difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
