Unclutter your Gmail inbox using Minimalist Gmail!

<Category: Chrome, Google, Internet> No comment

Gmail, the free e-mail service provided by Google, is full of great features. Users are given plenty of storage space, the ability to instant message other gmail users, and access to googledocs, Google’s free online alternative to program suites like Microsoft Office or iWork. Unfortunately, along with these great features come some not-so-great ones. The toolbar along the left-hand side is crowded, advertisements take up precious screen space, and a variety of other little annoyances can make the gmail experience less pleasing to the user. The solution: a simple plugin for both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox called Minimalist Gmail. Here’s how to install it:

Open PDFs and PowerPoint presentations inside Chrome using Google Docs

<Category: Chrome, Google> Only 1 comment

I’m not a big fan of Google Docs. Actually, I’m not a fan at all. But one thing it does great is make viewing documents on the Internet a blessing to view. It removes the need to fire up Adobe Reader plugin inside the browser, which isn’t the fastest thing in the world. While, it’s easy to view documents such as PDFs, PowerPoints and Word files in Gmail or Google search results using the Google Docs viewer, sadly, there wasn’t any way to view all files using the viewer  apart from these websites and services.

Google provides browser add-on to opt-out of Google Analytics

<Category: Google> No comment

A huge number of websites ( including this one ), use Google Analytics to track Internet traffic as well as traffic patterns. A large set of data can be gathered based on  user’s location such as location, OS version, browser version and much more – although the user can not be personally identified. Even then, Google has decided to release a browser add-on which lets users opt-out of Google Analytics. This seems like a move in reaction to steadily rising privacy concerns about online services and websites such as Facebook and Google.Google Analytics opt-out Browser add-on

When it comes to Flash, some people like it  because they can play flash-only games. However, some hate it because of performance issues, especially on Mac, not to mention its absence on the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch.
