^^ Finally! I guess they didn't want to confuse the new tab button with anything Google +. LOL I never liked it myself.
Anant
In the latest update, the plus (or +) has been removed from the new tab button (As stated above). You should change the screenshot.

In latest Chrome, if you guys are getting this message:
Java(TM) was blocked because it is out of date
Then add this line in Chrome's shortcut after chrome.exe:
--allow-outdated-plugins
When you need Java next time this message does not appear =D

VG, where is chrome's cache dir? and can it be relocated?. u r the man
VG
^^ Chrome cache is stored in following location:
AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
Copy above text, paste in RUN and press Enter. It'll open the folder.
To relocate or change cache location, you can use "--disk-cache-dir" parameter. Just add it at the end of the text present in Target textbox of Chrome's shortcut Properties:
--disk-cache-dir="new_folder_path"

Little tweak for a Chrome shortcut again :D
--extensions-update-frequency=3600
That will update your extensions automatically so you don't have to always manually check it.
PS: 3600 indicates 3600 seconds which is 1 hour, so it'll check updates 24 times a day ;) I recommend that you calculate a proper update frequency for slower connections.

Remove scrollbars in Chrome and Chromium:
1:
Navigate here:
C:\Users\#Username#\AppData\Local\Chromium\User Data\Default\User StyleSheets
2:
Open Custom.css file in notepad
3:
Copy/paste this line in it:
::-webkit-scrollbar { display:none; }
4:
Hit save and reload your current webpage or restart your browser, done =)
