I found a pretty fun little list over at Lifehacker today, in one of the comment threads. If you are testing out Google Chrome (and you really should be so you can see how Browser War II is going to play out) then these toolbar commands will give you some things to play with.
- about:memory
- about:stats
- about:network
- about:internets
- about:histograms
- about:dns
- about:cache
- about:plugins
- about:version
Note: This is as “techy-nerdy” as this blog will ever get. But some of the commands are pretty cool. Let me know if you find others.
ADDITION: Yardloo.com also has a handy list of normal commands that you can use with Windows:
