Chrome and tips.

Here are some Chrome tips:
- Chrome Keyboard and mouse shortcuts
- CTRL+SHIFT+T - Reopens the last tab you’ve closed. Google Chrome remembers the last 10 tabs you’ve closed. This is extremely useful if you accidentally closed your browsers with multiple opened tabs (Chrome doesn’t warn about this yet :/)
- SHIFT+ESC, about:memory – shows some geek stuff and statistics

I’m not a big fan of using the latest/newest technologies, but Google Chrome is fun. Web pages load faster – noteicably google search and gmail, which are highly optimized for google chrome.
So yes, the speed improvement made me switch to chrome.
There’s a good blog post by James Hamilton titled ‘The Cost of Latency’ where he reviews Steve Souder’s Veolicy 2009 presentation.
Some great examples there including:
- Google – Half a second delay caused a 20% drop in traffic. Half a second delay killed user satisfaction.
- Amazon – In A/B tests, we tried delaying the page in increments of 100 milliseconds and found that even very small delays would result in substantial and costly drops in revenue.
- Shopzilla – A year-long performance redesign resulted in a 5 second speed up (from ~7 seconds to ~2 seconds). This resulted in a 25% increase in page views, a 7-12% increase in revenue, and a 50% reduction in hardware.
