WHY NOT add keyboard shortcuts to all menu options and right-click context menus?? Why not add the Opera speed dial function that lets me get to a website by simply pressing Ctrl-1 ... Ctrl-9 even if that site isn't open yet. Please get to work, Google Chrome. Otherwise: great browser. Unfortunately, Opera is still the browser to use if you are trying to shun the mouse.

Sure, it works in the short-term, but it loses in the long-term. One of the biggest advantages of the multi-process approach is that when a tab/process is closed, *ALL* memory associated with that tab is freed. With everything running in a single process, the RAM usage will slowly bloat ever larger as RAM is incompletely freed due to fragmentation. So, in the long run, the default multi-process mode will save the most memory. I disagree about running Chrome in a single process to save RAM.

thanks for the wonderful tips..

For all those who cant make the chrome run under one single process based on this article can follow my idea here..

the dash given here on this page doesnt work if you copy and paste.

and also as shown in the picture , dont include that ["] at the end of the chrome.exe

next step would be not to copy paste the “-single-proces” from here and paste… it wont work..

go to the properties and TYPE in c:/……../chrome.exe[space]-single-process

type in , dont copy.!!

hope this helps ..

afain thanks for the wonderful article makeuseof

You can also drag tabs from Firefox to Chrome. I typically use Chrome for browsing, but use Firefox when I'm doing web development, because of its many tools that are handy for developers. This makes it easy to switch between the two. You can drag tabs out of Chrome to create new windows, and drag windows into each other to create multiple tabs in one window.
