If you're still using Firefox (or if you somehow know what a blog is and are using IE), try out Chrome. It's just so much faster than the others. As one person said, it makes Firefox look like the new IE. Anyways quick tip from the Downloadsquad about how to add a bookmarks button to your Google Chrome toolbar. Useful because I don't like the additional real estate the bookmarks toolbar right now takes up if I keep it open and if I keep it closed, I need to open a new tab to get it quickly.
Most users of Google Chrome enjoy its minimal interface. So why use a clunky toolbar to display your bookmarks full-time if you don't have to? Like many other excellent Chrome features, adding a miniscule bookmarks menu button is only a command line switch away!
Just right click your Chrome shortcut and choose properties. In the target box, add a space and --bookmark-menu after chrome.exe. the result should something look like this:
C:\Users\LeeM\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --bookmark-menu
This works on versions 2, 3, and 4 of Google Chrome, so it's a tweak anyone can use. That is, as long as you're running Windows - my Linux and Mac versions don't seem to be able to add the button yet.
Netbook users, enjoy your extra 28 vertical pixels!
Note: as mentioned in the comments, yes, you CAN add multiple switches - just put a space in between each one like so:
chrome.exe --enable-user-scripts --enable-sync --bookmark-menu
