IndexedDB use LevelDB in about:flags
This is a new entry in the experiments page. This looks like a totally developer only news, but still, here goes what IndexedDB and LevelDB is.
LevelDB :Â LevelDB is a library that implements a fast persistent key-value store. You can find more details about this project here at Google Code profile. They call it “a fast and lightweight key/value database library”
IndexedDB :  This is a project from the W3.org consortium. The description about the project says “This document defines APIs for a database of records holding simple values and hierarchical objects. Each record consists of a key and some value. Moreover, the database maintains indexes over records it stores. An application developer directly uses an API to locate records either by their key or by using an index. A query language can be layered on this API. An indexed database can be implemented using a persistent B-tree data structure.”
anyone with more info on this ? drop me a comment !!
Chrome’s User Interface is the thinnest out there and is the best, for fans like me. Things are getting even better with a new browser UI is being tested in Chromium flags.
Latest Chromium builds have a new addition to the about:flags page. Compact Navigation : Adds a “Hide the toolbar” entry to the tabstrip’s context menu. Use this to toggle between always displaying the toolbar (default) and only opening it as a drop down box as needed.
Compact Navigation Chrome
click on the image to zoom in
After activating this, you will get a new option when you right click on any tab. “Hide the Toolbar” Once selected, it will give you a new compact version of Chrome UI. You have pretty much everything still there. The wrench icon for settings will be moved to the tab bar to save some space.
The omnibox will not be displayed. But if you double click on any tab, a small box will appear below with the navigation, stop/reload and bookmark icons and this is your new omnibox.
I know that there are a few side tab fans here. This feature is not working with side tabs yet. I’ll let you know if I find it working in later builds.
ps: We also have an addition to the options menu in “Under The Hood” A check box to let Chrome run in the background. If you have any backround apps running, you can enable or disable that functionality here.
We have been talking about this multi profile system for a while now. Looks like things are getting ready in here. Chromium has added the following to about:flags page. Multiple Profiles Associates every browser window with a profile, and adds a profile switcher in the upper right corner. Every profile has its own bookmarks, extensions, [...]
Remember this about:flags entry ? I did not have much information about this feature when I posted about it being added to Chrome’s about:flags page. FPS Counter : “Shows a page’s actual frame rate, in frames per second, when hardware acceleration is active.†After enabling this on Chromium OS, I was browsing the Nytimes App [...]
Run PPAPI Flash In The Renderer Process -Â If the PPAPI version of Flash is in use, run it in each renderer process rather than in a dedicated plugin process. That didn’t ring any bell for me initially. Tried some Googling, and that also didn’t satisfy me. Then Mr.P came for help and here I am, [...]
