That pipe animation is actually a screensaver in Windows 95, so I'm not sure if Google tried to make a joke on Windows or simply they mean the message they transmit, not to clog the internet tubes. </p> http://www.roboformchrome.com/topic/google-chrome-easter-eggs#post-54 Thu, 18 Sep 2008 21:01:12 +0000 ToJa92 54@http://www.roboformchrome.com/ <p>The about:internets was really cool! On mine there was red/white stripes instead BTW Hi this is my first post^^ </p> http://www.roboformchrome.com/topic/google-chrome-easter-eggs#post-15 Tue, 09 Sep 2008 06:20:59 +0000 Claudiu 15@http://www.roboformchrome.com/ <p>Try entering in the address bar of Google Chrome the following and press enter <strong>about:internets</strong><br /> A Don't Clog the Tubes random pipe generator shows, just like Windows' screensaver (3.1 if I remember correctly).<br /> <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3043/2842490884_10ee4c3f84_o.jpg" alt="Chrome easter egg" /><br /> Here are some other Google Chrome shortcuts that are not yet documented:</p> <ul> <li><strong>chrome-resource://new-tab/</strong> - opens a new tab without showing recent history</li> <li><strong>about:memory</strong> - shows the Stats for Nerds page</li> <li><strong>about:version</strong> - shows the installed version</li> <li><strong>about:plugins</strong> - shows which plugins you have installed</li> <li><strong>about:histograms</strong> - histograms (in plain text display) for different Chrome processes</li> <li><strong>about:dns</strong> - shows websites for which it prefetched DNS records</li> <li><strong>about:cache</strong> - what's currently stored in Chrome's cache</li> <li><strong>about:stats</strong> - Shhh! This page is secret (stats about internal processes)</li> <li><strong>about:network</strong> - shows information about current networking jobs (click on Show Current I/O Status to see real-time what happens in your browser)</li> <li><strong>about:crash</strong> - this will crash the current tab, making Google Chrome display the "Aw, Snap" message: "Something went wrong while displaying this webpage. To continue, press Reload or go to another page".</li> <li><strong>about:hang</strong> - if you type this on a opened tab, the process associated with that tab will be killed but the page will still show the information. However, if you try to do any actions on that page you'll get a prompt "The following page(s) have become unresponsive. You can wait for them to become responsive or kill them" and the <strong>Kill pages</strong> or <strong>Wait</strong> buttons. </li> <li><strong>view-cache:stats</strong> - more stats regarding your Chrome cache</li> <li><strong>chrome-resource://favicon</strong> - normally it should display the favicon only</li> </ul> <p>If you know other shortcuts like these ones feel free to post them here. </p>
