Hey presto .. upgraded a few plugins I’m using first and then overwrote the files and hey presto everything is working fine.

Anyone having any issues updating ?

So far so good though I’ve got to read up on whats new as I’m not really seeing anything just yet I think

I took a look at this this morning (it was linked to on Tech Crunch)

There are some pretty interesting features gone in there … I like the separation of pages … the ability to create standalone “application” windows … not to mention the sandboxing of the browser to restrict its interaction with the underlying OS.

Other nice features ..

  • Privacy Mode … meaning people can’t track your browsing history
  • Separation of tabs / plugins into their own processes which can “die” independantly and not take down your browser

It does seem fast as hell as well I was running it in a VM this morning on my Mac ..

What do others thing of it ?

Recently with the amount of mails I’m getting from various forums and renews things I’ve found I’m having to go back a few pages and thought there has to be an easier way and yes there is.

Into your search box put

label:unread in:inbox

This will list your most recent emails. (I can’t really see why gmail doesn’t have a button for this by default)

Now you’ve got two options:

  1. Bookmark this page
  2. Add “Quick Links”

Initially I just dragged it onto my toolbar. (My toolbar is clogging up a bit though)

So go to “settings” -> “Labs” and install the “quick links” feature and save it.

Almost there!!!

Now go to to search box and put in label:unread in:inbox and hit enter

Then on the bottom left (your new quick links feature) click “Add Quick Link” Give it a title “Unread” or something like that … and away you go.

Really does seem like an obvious missing feature in there and I guess it won’t affect the majority of users but damn … it was bugging me no end.
