googlegooglegooglegoogle.com= Awesome

I dont know if anyone here has heard of this site yet, but its pretty neat. You basically can run 4 Google browsers on one screen. I happen to have a second monitor I plug into my laptop at home so I'm usually running two screens anyways and I just open a second browser when I need one. I also use firefox and use the scroll wheel on my mouse to click a link I want to open in a new tab (if you didn't know that trick, you're welcome)

Anyway, staying on topic, the thing I like best about googlegooglegooglegoogle.com is that you can modify it to run other sites. I've closed two of the four windows, and I'm browsing HBT in one and autotrader in the other, and it can tell where my mouse is for scrolling purposes and such. Pretty cool solution compared to running multiple browser windows if you only have one screen.

This site isnt actually run by google, but I think its cool. Only major issue I had was not being able to go "back"

Dunno how this screen shot will come out, but this is an example.

New home page

Unimpressed. I can do that by running two browsers or more. Or use Split Browser in Firefox.

Agreed but then you're using double the resources! (I have an old comp)

I will grant that there is some small amount of extra overhead to open a separate browser window, but I have to imagine that any overhead is completely overwhelmed by doing the same thing purely in javascript instead.

What I mean is, you're not saving any resources at all, and in fact are probably using MORE resources because of the way that site works. The exception to this would be if you're one of those people who has 100 little toolbars installed in your browser. Those toolbars can be resource hogs.

Good to know.

And you are showing every single site and place you visit to the people running that site.

Tabbed browsing FTW.

"And... what about TABBED BROWSING? To fasten, take the little end and stick it in the big end and... you know what? If you guys don't know how to use TABBED BROWSING, just ring your call button and Tommy will come back there and hit you on the head with a tack hammer because you're a *retard* "

I didn't say it, David Spade did.

Agreed. Plus really? Do you need more than 2 browsers at the same time? I mean one of HBT and one of pron and I'm all set.....

 

[gratus fermentatio]

I don't see the point, why would you need to search for 4 different things at once?

You obviously havent met my parents.

Yeah, I had to switch over to autotrader for a reason

Command+ number of the tab you want, FTW. Faster than using a mouse.

You think that Google doesn't track that information?

Why do you think that Chrome is free?
