• I had to restore my bookmarks after a bad sync from a seldom used computer wiped out the current bookmark setup. To do this browse to: C:\Users\xyz\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default (in Vista, anyway), and rename the "bookmark.bak" file to "bookmark". Removing (or, better, renaming, the existing bookmark file first)
• I'm quite liking this extension: Auto Tab Discard (for Chrome and FF)
  
  • OLD: The Great Suspender (author sold in late 2020, new owner is sus)
• Saved Auto-Suggested URLs - Deleted by arrow key to highlight. Then Shift+Delete
• Flags
  
  • Testing this flag, which apparently is default cache on Android: chrome://flags/#enable-simple-cache-backend
  • #smooth-scrolling - seems to make my mouse scroll wheel a lot better in Chrome - less jumpy - 2019-
  • #proactive-tab-freeze - new 2019-12 - supposed to freeze inacive tabs
  •  chrome://flags/#enable-heavy-ad-intervention - supposed to cap CPU cycles an ad can use
• Last Chrome for XP and some new certificates:
  Issue is "ecdsa" certificates - eliptical curve. Recent Firefox on XP supports them. Chrome never will.

• Chromium + codecs:
  sudo apt-get remove chromium-codecs-ffmpeg
  sudo apt-get install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra
