Googlepedia for Chrome Released!

Googlepedia for Chrome is now here! The installation is still rough round the edges since Chrome doesn’t yet have proper extension management features. It should be fairly straightforward though.

How to install:

  1. Download Chrome Channel Switcher
  2. Change your channel to ‘Dev’
  3. Click wrench menu in Chrome, click ‘About’ then ‘Check for updates’, wait for the update to install
  4. Restart Chrome
  5. Download Googlepedia for Chrome
  6. Open the file (it appears like nothing happens)
  7. Close chrome, then open it again with the command-line parameter ’ —enable-extensions’ (you can do this by right-clicking the Chrome icon, clicking properties and adding it to the end of the ‘Target’ field, without the quotes, but with the space at the start)
  8. Do a search on Google, Wikipedia should be on the right! :)

If you have issues - please report them. Thanks! :)

Please come back soon to get new versions and bug fixes, Chrome should have an auto-update feature soon. Oh, and also please support development by donating! Thanks. :D

Got my development environment setup. Running XP on my MacBook Pro using VMware Fusion. The Unity mode really is impressive. Mounted a shared folder as a virtual drive so I can continue using Aptana on OSX and check into Subversion from there.
The Google Chrome port should be well on the way soon as long as I don’t run into any major snags *fingers crossed*.

I’m currently playing around with porting Googlepedia to Google Chome. Their extension support isn’t quite finished yet, but there’s enough there to make a start :)
