Chrome 6 has been released with some great new features like form autofill, Extension Sync, support for WebM videos and (bet you didn’t know this) a built-in PDF viewer! Yes, it does mean a lot to serious professionals. But it’s not enabled by default. So here’s how you get it working:
In the address-bar, type ‘chrome://plugins/‘ and press ‘Enter’.
Here, simply click ‘Enable’ link in the Chrome PDF Viewer entry.
With the new default PDF viewer, it’s now irrelevant to have an Adobe Reader installed on your computer for viewing PDF files online.

Google and privacy issues go hand in hand. Even Google admits it. And people like you and me are getting increasingly cautious about our privacies online. And we should be. Internet privacy tools have become the talk of the day and if you are using Firefox or Google Chrome, here’s something new to keep you notified when you are being watched by Google’s corporate evil eye.
Google Alarm, is a tiny add-on for Firefox and Chrome that shows an alert message (with an optional alarm ring) as and when you stumble on a site where Google lurks in the form of scripts. Obviously, it includes all Google sites as well. The add-on does nothing fancy and will never come in your way but it’s more like James Patterson saying “you’ve-been-warned”.
I kind of liked this add-on as it specifically tells me what scripts are monitoring my actions. There are 4 versions of Google Alarm, two for each browser, one with alarm ringer and one without it. Check it out.

Nice. Google Chrome is certainly the fastest and the most sleekest browser till date and it just keeps getting better and better.

If you are one of those who went ‘whoa’ on seeing the Buzz feature in Gmail, I think you might go once again as well. Because this time, we have something more substantial that seamlessly merges two massive web services in to one – The Gmail Facebook integration extension for Chrome.
The Gmail Facebook integration:
Well, the name itself is pretty self explanatory. This Google Chrome extension adds a new ‘Facebook’ option just like ‘Buzz’.
If you were to ask me, I’d say the extension is pretty minimalistic in a good way. However, I have some beginner tips for you. Make sure you open Facebook in a different tab while installation and during the first run of this extension because I have found some login problems while directly logging into Facebook using this extension. Secondly, click your user picture to update your status ;)
