The launch of Google Chrome it virtually the entire blogosphere is talking these days, so when I have no interest in writing yet another review that lists all the features, the benchmark, the advantages and disadvantages. Around there are very many and very well written.
I preferred instead to focus the search for hacks and undocumented functions (like the easter eggs) that are already several if we count the release of Chrome goes back only a few days ago.
Here then follows the 'list of hidden features of Google Chrome I have discovered so far around the network:

  1. 3D Pipes Screensaver (easter egg).
    Write "about: internets" in the address bar and "magically" opens a new tab called "Dont clog the tubes" in which appears the famous old Windows 3.11 screensaver in which a myriad of tubes intersecting and intersecting between them in a 3D perspective

  2. about: version: displays information about the current version of Google Chrome
  3. about: stats: returns all the statistics in terms of usage and execution time of Chrome and internal modules such as latest-generation JavaScript engine V8.
  4. about: memory: shows in detail the amount of memory used by each tab open. This confirms one of the most interesting innovations introduced by Chrome, which is that each tab is treated as an isolated process in its own right, runs in its own private memory area and does not go in any way to affect or hinder the execution the other tab. In short, for those who still had not understood, Chrome is a candidate to become a platform for the Web-computing can run complex web-based applications in multitasking mode: Google points to something that goes far beyond simple web browsing !
  5. about: plugins: show similarly to Firefox, the list of installed plugins and MIME type handled.
  6. About: Histograms: generates a list of histograms in text mode, which represent the changing values of a range of parameters such as the time it takes to shut down the browser or the rendering of pages.
  7. about: cache: returns the list of all URLs on the pages cached.
  8. about: dns: Provides a range of information on the DNS used to resolve IP addresses, complete with timing of maximum and minimum average loockup
    about: crash: pretty useless feature that simply displays the error page that the browser returns in case of crash

    but I personally do not waste too much time on google chrome yet, I do not like at all, it is fast only if you open a tab, otherwise it is only the browser that there is heavier (task manager speaks for itself).

    In fact has very few features and shortcomings, if there is to discover its better to focus on a powerful browser Opera.
