Yeah, it could be possible. What do you suggest?

 

From here you can find all command-line switches (from Google Developer, who updates it frequently) - http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/

A maintained list of the handy ones :p Not all the command switches

 

 

Like the impl-paint one I forget (to help gif loading on a page) and 

 

chrome://flags/#enable-tab-audio-muting

Impl Side Painting is now enabled in M42 so that's why switch in the list is changed to --Disable rather than enable. Now Tab Muting is also present, see:

I don't think you understand, what I'd like is a maintained list of handy switches, not an index of hundreds :p Some switches are planned for later releases and disabled by default right? (like audio muting tab) would be handy if these features were in a topic that was constantly updated :)

Ah! I see. Definitely will be a good addition.

One after another, so Google realized, we don't need Dart as replacement to Javascript.

 

No Dart VM in Google Chrome - http://news.dartlang.org/2015/03/dart-for-entire-web.html

 

tl;dr: Dart for the web is now focused on compiling Dart to JavaScript, and we have decided not to work on embedding the Dart VM into Chrome. We are also announcing that Google Ads is committed to Dart and they are building their next-gen web interfaces with Dart.

Disabled Addons in Chrome now looks like this bit:

 

- Non hover state, it highlights:

Text Selection improvement visually - https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/blink-dev/qSC0Mrh_GnA

I personally like Firefox behavior in this and really likes Chrome to follow it.

OMG finally, the text selection has long been my biggest pet peeve with chromium/webkit

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
