Make Firefox Look Like Google Chrome

Posted: 09 Sep 2008 01:25 PM CDT

Want to make your Firefox theme look like Google Chrome? Barely days after Google chrome browser was launched, the Firefox community has developed an extension to give your the same appearance.

Get the Chromifox firefox extension, called a  “coat of Chrome for Firefox”. Its is a bright and soft blue theme for Firefox 3 on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X, and is inspired by the appearance of the Google Chrome web browser.

The theme developer points out that some third party extensions may  not work. Also note that the Google Chrome features tabs on top, but that is not possible with Chromifox because “it takes an unreliable CSS hack to accomplish that change. Also, believe me I already know that tabs you open in the background will appear “disconnected” from the other tabs. This is a limitation in the Firefox tab binding, and for now, I can’t find a way around it.”

Chrome Package is another firefox extension, that is a hack of the Chromifox theme, to enable Google Chrome lookalike mode in Firefox. I am sure someone out there is busy designing another great theme to mimic Google Chrome.

Mystery of the Dropping Google ‘O’

Posted: 09 Sep 2008 12:59 PM CDT

How can you break the Google logo and make Google drop an ‘O’. Well someone decided to have fun with Google search and found the search operators which could achieve this Google hack.

SEOmoz explains how it is possible

After doing any kind of search, you can append the “num=100” parameter to the query string to get 100 results instead of the default 10. Another useful parameter is the “start=990” that takes you to the last page of the results, without having to click through to the end.

To make this work for you, just add &num=100&start=990 at the end of the search url in the location bar of your browser for any search result and you too can drop the ‘O’ from the Google logo.

The normal Google search logo looks like this beneath any search.

Add these parameters and break the Google logo.

Try it yourself and see the difference.
