Gmail Labels Not Working (Missing) in Google Chrome Today…

4yourwebsite — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 23:01:06 +0000

If you use Google Chrome for reading your Gmail then you may have noticed that all of your labels (including your Inbox) have been replaced by a More link with a small down arrow next to it. This would be a nuisance if the More link actually worked, but is a catastrophe instead because the More link does not do anything!

That’s the problem, here’s the solution…

Go to Settings –> Labels
There you will see a new System Label called ^act — if it is set to Show then Hide it and all of your labels should magically reappear.

Weird that Google broke Gmail in their own Chrome browser, but not in FireFox (which still works fine).

Seems this might be related to new Buzz functionality in Gmail?

UPDATE: The above fix took care of missing labels, but the Compose Mail link was still missing… Choosing Settings –> Offline –> Disable Offline Mail for this computer fixed the missing Compose Mail link. Not sure if the ^act hide is still necessary or not but I’m leaving it hidden.

New Google Internet Browser Launched

You can get it here: http://www.google.com/chrome Quote from Google’s “Why we built a browser page”:

Under the hood, we were able to build the foundation of a browser that runs today’s complex web applications much better . By keeping each tab in an isolated “sandbox”, we were able to prevent one tab from crashing another and provide improved protection from rogue sites. We improved speed and responsiveness across the board. We also built V8, a more powerful JavaScript engine, to power the next generation of web applications that aren’t even possible in today’s browsers.

I would suggest that you download it and fully test your website in it to be sure that your site functions as expected. If first impressions and Google’s history are any indication, it won’t be too long before this is the most popular browser on the Internet.

Official version of the new web browser Firefox launches today.

After a long testing period, the official version of the new web browser Firefox launches today. The United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT), a division of the Department of Homeland Security, recommends switching to this new web browser. You can find a link to the Firefox website on our Client Tools page.

Of course, once we all follow this advice, the virus authors will start attacking Firefox instead of Internet Explorer and then we’ll all have to switch back. Firefox does seem to be a more bulletproof browser but, so far, it has not been attacked like it will be once we are all using it.

Am I going to switch? Absolutely! I already did with the pre-release versions. I like it, not just for the extra security but for the speed, the tabbed views, the clean look and feel, it is a great browser, more stable at version 0.7.x than some other products (that will remain unnamed) at version 5.x.x and 6.x.x, all of that and it also has a really cool logo.
