Hi Craig - Thanks for the great tips. I have to admit to a superstition - that Google is aware of everything I'm doing here, and that it is pleased when I pay homage by using as many Google tools as possible, like Chrome and Blogger, etc. As we struggle for Google's favor in SEO, I'll hunt for any tiny advantage I can get :)

Google and gmail aren't bad if you don't mind big brother spying on EVERYTHING you do. Hell you cant even us the email service without the entire post/msg being read and then marketed to???

Personally I hate Google but for those who love them, and they are plentiful... enjoy

Thanks, Craig, for your post. I use Chrome and gmail as well as a lot of other google applications. I have an Android phone and an Android tablet.

I usually have Chrome, Firefox and IE all running at once with multiple tabs open. I don't think I want to run Chrome without the taskbar.

Craig,

 

I have been using Chrome as my browsers for years along with extensions.  the one big issue I see that you do not address is how much memory those apps use.  Chrome as I understand it opens an .exe file for every app.

Right now all I have open on my desktop is this page, but I have ten Chrome.exe files in task manager using up a lot memory.  I have used older machines where this is a significant issue

Your posts are great Craig.  You are in the top 1% for useful info.  I alrady use CHrome and Gmail.  Love the way it syncs to the Android.  A breeze to keep contacts updated on both.  One question for you.  Anyway I can quick share  website wit contacts in Gmail?  I copy and paste the link.  Gmail does not sem to be an option as a default program on Windows 7.

Kathy - thanks for visiting - glad you liked

Judith - I'm glad to be able to illustrate my points!

John - keep in mind that without the tabs and address bar applies only for the sites that you apply it to - you get a special icon to launch those sites - regular browsing in chrome remains unchanged

Ray - memory management on newer computers is less of an issue but on an older computer you can be more vigilant about uninstalling unused apps and extensions. In chrome Shift+Esc brings up a window that shows you all the chrome elements and how much memory they take. You can watch this to see how much goes to each part and remove anything unnecessary 

Dennis - glad you enjoy my blogs, thanks for saying so! You can install the chrome extension send from Gmail (by Google) and this should do the share a link feature that you are looking for

I like Chrome.  It is my default browser. My MLS doesn't work very well with Chrome, though. Printing especially. There are a bunch of real estate sites that don't work very well in Chrome. I hope they catch up some year.

Hmmm, a good friend of mine told me that I should be using Google Chrome. He is wise in the ways of the world so I should take his advice after reading your immensely detailed and informative post.

I am using a Gmail account for many other websites like CRM. While using Gmail you may have some issue with account or error problem then simply contact  Gmail Error 007. They will help you out.
