More Google Chrome Tips

Google Chrome has an "omnibar" which is really cool because you can just type your search term where the web address is usually located. However, the google search automatically changes depending on your IP address and the country where you reside.

Here's a simple fix if you want Chrome to always search in English:

Go to the options menu and under default search engine, click "manage."

After you click "manage," click "add." Then, type the following info.

Use name: Google

Keyword: Google

URL: http://www.google.com/search?q=%s

Next, click "make default."

That's it you're finished. =)

One of my only complaints about Google Chrome is the lack of the ability to export bookmarks. Well, the next update has fixed this. Thank goodness. However, this is not available to normal users. It's listed as a developer release. Here's what you have to do:

Run the file and choose "developer" instead of user. Close the program and the next time you open Chrome it should update automatically. The developer Chrome releases updates sooner and more often than the general user Chrome.
