Bookmarks Icons Only

Custom Google Search
You can create custom google searchs for finding specific things on th internet or for searching specific sites.  For example if your wanted to search for a specific computer, you could add all the computer buying websites, and then the search would only search those sites, to create your own google search go here.  I created an E-Book search engine, for finding all your textbooks and ebooks online, find your Ebook here!

Chrome://flags
Chrome flags are little experimental features thar can add nice features into your chrome experience.  I'll point out a few of my favorite here, but feel free to experiment.  To acess the flags go to chrome://flags
➮Enable tab audio muting UI control. - When you enable this flag the audio indicater on each tab doubles as a mute toggle for that individual tab, this allows you to cancel audio from certain tabs, while keeping other tabs unmuted.

Keyboard Sortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts can make your chrome experience, much faster and easier.  There are many shortcuts, but here are some of my favorite.  If you would like to see the full list of chrome shortcuts head over to here.  For mac, instead of using "Control" "Command" will be pressed.
➮Cntrl+T, Cntrl+W - These two shortcuts operate tabs, while holding Control press "T" to open a new tab and "W" to close the current tab.


➮Cntrl+Shift+T, Cntrl+Shift+W - These are an extension of the previous shortcuts, press and hold Control and Shift, then press either T or W to execute the shortcut. Cntrl+Shift+T, opens your previous deleted / closed tab, while  Cntrl+Shift+W closes ALL your current tabs.


➮Cntrl+F - This is a nifty shortcut for finding text on longer pages or .pdf's. Press Cntrl and then "F" to open a find window.  Type in what you want to find and use the arrow keys to move between selections.







Did you use any of these shortcuts? or know other awesome shortuts?

Flash games are awesome - and being able to download and play them wherever you want, is even more awesome! Below are some of the ways you can download and play flash games offline.
Picture
Hungry Rooster

To download flash games from Hungry Rooster, scroll down under any game page and click "Download For Offline Play," the .swf file should download.  It's a good idea to make a folder to stockpile and keep safe all your flash games in.  

File2HD

To download from other websites, you can use File2HD a free flash file finder for any website.  To start, paste the link you want to download games from into the URL: box. Select the "Objects" bubble and click Get Files.








If the page has other flash objects on it, like advertisements, or videos, find the file with the game name in it, so If you were trying to download Effing Worms 2, you would look for the file with "Effing Worms 2."

Then Right click on the file and select "Save File As..." The .swf will download. 

Note: sometimes flash games are site locked this stop people from downloading and playing games anywhere other than the original site, if this happens, try to find the original creator of the game and try from that URL.

Playing Flash Games Offline

To play flash games offline, simply drag and drop the flash game you want to play into your browsers address bar, and the game should load in a new tab.
