Hey, it’s not only Firefox that has “hidden” pages. Google Chrome has them too. While FF has seven of these lovely giblets, Chrome has more – 14 (and counting?). Most of them provide some helpful information about things regarding your browser.
- about:
- about:network
- about:stats
- about:cache
- about:objects
- about:plugins
- about:dns
- about:version
- about:memory
- about:crash
- about:ipc
- about:histograms
- about:histograms/Loop
- about:internets
These ones are supposed to be there but I can’t quite figure out what they do. Some warnings say this might crash whatever web app you’re running.
- about:hang
- about:shorthang
I have yet to encounter the crash page so accessing about:crash allowed me to see it with my own eyes. Since the other pages are for geeks and uber power users, Too bad there ain’t no cryptic messages like a passage from the “Book of Google” or something and it doesn’t have an in-depth configuration page like Firefox’s about:config. I want one for Chrome!
