Google recently released a new tool that lets you create your own custom themes for Chrome, and it’s pretty awesome. Here are six of our favourites.

Google Operating System points out this flaw, which is almost unavoidable because of browser security requirements.
Chrome: If you prefer a simplified, clutter-free interface for your RSS feeds, Google Reader Readable is an extension that cuts all the clutter and displays single posts from your feed in a clean, minimal layout.
