google chrome

Post by chafila » Mon Oct 04, 2010 12:32 am

How do I get Google Chrome browser to start with the URL highlighted? When I start Google Chrome browser, it has "about:blank" in the URL since it imported starting a blank page from Internet Explorer. The problem is that the cursor is at the beginning before the first 'a'. I want the entire URL "about:blank" highlighted so I can just start typing and have it overwrite the current URL.

Shift + End

Then start typing.
Have you considered getting a real Homepage?

I was actually going to suggest that...

Also isn't there already a thread set up for any problems people have with google chrome?
I think I started that one didn't I?

I can't remember...

Googling might help, too.

Lol, I wasn't too sure about him being a spambot or not, so I didn't ban him.
But by the time I posted earlier, I too locked his post.

Hehe, I've seen the exact same post before at another forum, so I recognized it immediately. :P

When I searched for his post, I found similar ones, but none was identical. I figured a simple lock would prevent him from adding any links anyways. Image

I thought it seemed a bit too structured and intelligent to be a true member of this forum, not to mention the crippling lack of beards and smilies in his avatar and post respectively...Image

Note, you should combine the two, I want all of the smilies from your collection, but with added beards...Preferably pink! :lol:

On all the smileys from my Stack?
That'll take ages to add.

Feel free to try it out yourself, though.

can't understand why you would start google chrome with a homepage other than it's own....
