If you do try out Google Chrome. It can be set as the default browser(May see a message flashed up?) and B) You will get I think, the Google Ca. Homepage(despite setting the preferences as Google.com) In my case its the "co.uk" pages. Bit of an annoyance, I can live with it
And as I said earlier the Layout is very easy to get around compared to IE
And,there are many surprises
For instance The Search box acts both with the (Chrome)History Folder and the Google site (online) for suggestions (I think its even better than the .com version) and you'll Notice the speed difference(even on a slow connection) This is because of a small program (in the Background) called Google Gears ,which is always being updated. It helps out on many other Google Programs such as Gmail
Moving on, as regards Bookmarks,it has the simplest ever way for you to import your IE Bookmarks over (and populate the List)
There are only a few buttons on the Page. Look in the top right for the Wrench Icon. Do make sure the
"Always show Bookmarks bar" has a tick against it.
Next look down the Menu to where it says
Import Bookmarks and Settings and on the next window Untick those items you don't wish to bring across (4 tick boxes) Next step, click the Import Button... DONE!
To see what you have brought over,click on the
Other bookmarks Link on the Chrome page (there are other ways to the same place as you'll discover later)
then just hover your Mouse pointer Over the Results
NOTE: Disregard the Keyboard shortcuts as Many do not work
And a mini secret Tip to get to AP fast (If its a site you visit a Lot?)
This Browser Has "Tabs" so you can have Many WebPages open at once
To activate this feature Find the white
"+" (its to the right of the webpageTitle) ,click it
But something happens on the Page... the Most recent Bookmarks are displayed and there are 6 mini windows of the Most Popular sites on the
Chrome History List
In the Bottom Left corner it says
Show full history >> Only goes back for 4 days!(No way of altering this) But all the Links are "Live" To go back further You'll need to enter a key word into the "Search History" Box (Top of this page) This will look at the Imported Internet Explorer History links up to whatever limit thats set at. Does generate a few Thumbnailed preview pages on the List.But they aren't clickable!
And Tree? If they could do it (I'll put in the Request to the Google help Forum) I'd like to see the
Google Web History Program contribute/merged to this Program(as an option) .So far I have 33K Entries archived.
and that goes back almost 3 years
so far Everything dated neatly (Is a Google Account program)
Chrome
does not count as an Account Program However
They are neatly archived (and I can pin down lots of things) and I got thinking what if they were added to my (Chrome) History search? Worth a Proposal to the Google Help Forum as an Idea for a future feature?
