By utilizing Google's universal syncing system, the OS also allows any Chromebook to look and act like your own personal machine within moments of your signing in. Scroll down to Find the Media Access Control (MAC) address. Click to expand the section, and follow the instructions. Use the browser's 'About System' diagnostic page: Open a browser window. In the address bar, type chrome://system, and press Enter. Look for ifconfig, and then click the Expand. Button next to it. If you have photoshop, you can make your desktop look even more like a mac then it does already. Just leave the icons on the desktop in the dock at the bottom, then change your wallpaper to a blank colour (green is usually the best) then take a screen shot. Open the screen shot in photoshop then remove the background, so you just have the icons. Remix OS is the operating system you should be installing, if you want the best Android. Jason Cipriani/CNET The truth is, for most of us, using a Chromebook already feels a lot like using a PC or Mac, depending on how much time you typically spend using Chrome when on a 'real' computer.
Do you remember the browser wars? Kinda dumb, if you ask me. It's not like you pick a browser and that's that – till death do you part you are now stuck with that browser and that only that browser.
On my Mac I have 6 browsers that I regularly flip between. The two I flip between most are Chrome and Safari. In recent months I have begun using Chrome more and more despite the fact that I find Safari to be a far more useful and feature rich browser.
To make life easier while surfing with Chrome, I have made an attempt to pimp my Chrome via various apps in order to be more Safari-like. Here's how:
Read Later Fast
Read Later Fast is a chrome extension solution to Safari's reading list. Reading List and Read Later Fast let you bookmark a webpage to have it listed to be read later. A very handy service that finally makes sense of browser bookmarking.
Reader Mac system cleaner freeware.
One of the features I love in Safari, especially in mobile Safari on iOS, is Reader. Reader knocks out all the noisy distractions from a webpage and presents you with just the webpage content – a Godsend when dealing with poorly designed and heavily advertised webpages.
Readability Redux is a Chrome extension that acts in a similar way to Safari's Reader. It transforms a webpage into just content – brilliant.
Flash block
This one is more of an iOS Safari pro – the lack of Flash. The conflict between Apple and Adobe over Flash support on the iPad and iPhone is well documented and a bone of contention for many. The sims trial mac. To be honest, I don't care much about Flash in my browser. Because of that I use ClickToFlash in Safari to block Flash and FlashBlock in Chrome.
What Makes Chromebook Different
Both plugins provide you with the option to enable Flash on a per site basis.
RSS
One of the weird things missing from Chrome is RSS support. It's strange because Google owns one of the most popular RSS readers available – Google Reader.
The Chrome extension RSS Subscription brings RSS support to Chrome. It lets you quickly subscribe to a sites' RSS feed through Google Reader.
Who Makes Chromebook Laptops
Full Screen Support
Full screen support is coming to Chrome soon. At the time of writing, full screen is a part of Chrome's Canary release (the development version). If you want to go full screen in Chrome right now, go to View > Full Screen or hit Shift/Command/F on your keyboard.
Make Chromebook Like Pc
And that's it. Chrome is now beginning to feel a bit like Safari.
