Chrome shortcuts

Jojo Yee · 05. Jan 2010, 11:00 AM

To delete cookies from Chrome 4.0, I have to click how many times?

Tools (Wrench icon)
Options
Personal stuff
Clear Browsing Data
Clear Browsing Data (yes, repeat on another window) after ticking Delete Cookies
Close

6 times!

Now I found this useful shortcut
Ctrl-Shift-Delete, then click Clear Browsing Data just one time.

If you're using Chrome, this shortcut is useful for deleting cookies when needed prior to log in here.

Other Chrome shortcuts are available here.

Not to hijack this thread, but how do I add a search bar to Chrome? I use Google search in Firefox and have gotten quite used to having this function within my browser. I can't figure out how to add one to Chrome?

You don't have to

. Because, the address bar acts as a search bar too. Just type anything you want to search, and hit the Enter button. But yeah, I have observed, it lacks the auto-completion feature. If anyone knows how to turn that on, for Chrome, please share.

Ohhh... I just tried it. Ain't that cool?! Thanks for the tip.

P.S. I was getting quite frustrated with not being able to figure out how to add a search bar. *duh*

This might the one you're looking for? Form autofill

No Jojo, that's not it. Actually, its a feature of Google itself. When you type in words for your query, Google suggests, and tries to autocomplete them. If you use the Google search bar that's within Firefox, it also suggests things... but I have found that missing in other browsers, like Opera, K-Meleon, Chrome, Iron.

Autofill with profile setup? Currently I think available in the latest development releases of Google Chrome 5 according to this.

Ermm... you are misunderstanding me. I am not talking about autofill of forms. I am just talking about Google search. Open Google on any browser, and then type in few words of software , you will get many suggestions for your query, to make your job easier. For example, type "bittorrent", and after that you will get suggestions like "bittorrent download", "bittorrent movies", "bittorent search" etc.

This feature can be found in Firefox Google Search bar, on the right hand side. But, on other browsers having Google Search, this suggestion, or autocomplete feature, does not work.

Wow, sometimes to read one's mind is more difficult than to give an answer.

I'm getting old, looks like reaching 100.

Go to Wrench > Options > Under the Hood, check "Use a suggestion service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar."

After enabling it, it should give suggestions when you type, but looks like it gives fewer suggestions than those given by Firefox Google Search.

Thanks Jojo, but seems like that option is not present in Iron. I did not see it.
