Extensions

Stylish

  • IIRC Andy made heavy use of this.

  • You can use a single custom script to switch between a night-mode and a day-mode, similar to how Dark Mode (the extension) works.

Here's the script I use:

/* Taken from the Dark Mode extension, Dark Mode #18 (grey dark) */ html {background: rgb(51,51,51) !important} html * { color: rgb(144,144,144) !important; border-color: rgb(57,57,57) !important; background-color: rgb(39,39,39) !important; } a, a * {color: rgb(97,129,169) !important} img[src]:hover, input[type=image]:hover {opacity: 0.4} input, select, button, textarea {background: rgb(74,74,74) !important} a:visited, a:visited *, a:active, a:active * {color: rgb(82,95,102) !important} input[type=radio] { border-width: 0 !important; background: none !important; } /* The stuff below was added by me, Nathan Wailes */ img { opacity: 0.4 !important; } img:hover { opacity: 0.5 !important; } img:active { opacity: 0.6 !important; } /* Twitter */ tcu-imageWrapper[style], tcu-imageWrapper[style]:hover, tcu-imageWrapper[style]:active { opacity: 0.4 !important; }

How to separate work and non-work browsing

  • It's embarrassing if you're using the same computer for work and non-work activities, and you have to share your screen to show something to your coworkers, and they see some search you did for butt cream or Pokemon or something.

  • To avoid this, create a separate Chrome "Person" (Click on the person image in the top-right and click "Manage people"), and move all of your work-related bookmarks in there, and don't have them in your "personal" Person account.  And then just have separate desktops for work and non-work.  I use a totally-different image for the work account's Person (I use the alien) so that it's easy for me to see which I'm account I'm using.
