 * '''Task Manager''' - Task Manager allows you to view the ''memory usage'' of each tab in every single browser that is currently open (that means the other browsers like Firefox, IE, Opera, etc) if you click "Stats for Nerds"; allowing you to target and kill the miscreant memory sucker that's slowing you down.
 * '''Incognito window''' - fire up the incognito window with Ctrl-Shift-N and cookies will not be stored and url will not appear in your browsing history.
 * '''Javascript Alert Stopper''' - When too many Javascript alerts appear from the same page, Chrome prompts you to stop all alerts. Discovered it when I triggered a lot of alerts while trying to test something; seems like a good preventive measure.
 * '''Status Bar''' - The Status bar appears only when you are hovering over/loading a new page, and when you mouseover the status bar (when not maximised or when in fullscreen mode) it flips downwards to prevent blocking the screen content.

 === Unusual points about Chrome ===
-* '''Removal of HTML Title''' - interesting that they reckon that the titles are not important. but its true, anyway who reads the title these days when most times its not any indicator of content quality. but clearly, gone are the days when you were in primary school and expressed your adolescent angst by making a webpage with cute asterisks forming little flowery banners ''`"*-;,., iN tHe Titl3 b4rx,.;-*"`'' and used some silly cut-n-paste javascript to make it do a marquee at the top to piss off everyone. well i know i'm not missing those days.
+* '''Removal of HTML Title Bar''' - interesting that they reckon that the titles are not important and have relegated it to a mouseover thing only. in Chrome, most times you can only see the first three to five words of the title, so laconic and succinct titles might just be the future. but its true, anyway who reads the title these days when most times its not any indicator of content quality. but clearly, gone are the days when you were in primary school and expressed your adolescent angst by making a webpage with cute asterisks forming little flowery banners ''`"*-;,., iN tHe Titl3 b4rx,.;-*"`'' and used some silly cut-n-paste javascript to make it do a marquee at the top to piss off everyone. well i know i'm not missing those days.
