OK, I'm a tard. I forgot that when I had that whole computer wipeout a few months back I moved the contents of my C: drive to an external drive, L: and never got around to bringing all the program files back to C:

Do you use the bookmarks toolbar?

squirell nutkin · 03-02-2010, 10:45 AM

I've started putting my most accessed stuff up there. I've also got the "other bookmarks" icon with a folder chock full o' bookmarks.

Ooooooo Google Chrome now has bookmark syncing, ad block, and flash block.

Might have to try it out now.

One thing I enjoy doing is removing the title from the bookmarks, leaving just the favicon. This worked the same way in Firefox.

So I downloaded Chrome, I don't see any toolbar to access preferences to change this sort of thing, or I'm trying to find the magic spot to right click on to get a prefernces menu.

Beest, hit ctrl-B to show the bookmarks bar, then you can drag URLs into it, right click to create folders, right click on icons to set their name, etc.

lumberjim · 03-04-2010, 01:39 PM

how do you get the favicons in there?

Undertoad · 03-04-2010, 01:53 PM

I drag the link in, from the icon right to the left of it in the address bar, and then I right-click on it and edit it and erase the name part.

lumberjim · 03-04-2010, 02:06 PM

I'm not getting any icon in the address bar, and when I erase the name, i am just left with a little white 'portrait' icon.

also, not so excellent is that you MUST put .com after your url or it ignores your ass.

Some sites don't have icons set up. If these do, try clicking on the icon to visit the page and see if the icon shows up then.
