Nice de-obfuscation! Though I'm guessing they don't detect packers etc. http://jsbeautifier.org/ will remain a bookmark.

It uses uglifyjs and parse-js to prettyprint the js, so its pretty much functionally equivalent to what jsbeautifier is doing. Other than specifying tab size, I don't think jsbeautifier gets you any advantages here.

Google Chrome 13 changelog:

* Fixed an issue with the version number. It showed 11 where it should be 12.

:-)

they discontinued google gears support. yesterday when I tried to access Remember the milk (as a chrome-web-app) and it showed me an error message, when I tried to install the plug-in it said that it wasn't supported.

this is one of the disadvantages of the automatic update process I guess.

On Chrome 13.0.782.24 this doesn't seem to work: http://cl.ly/7euY. Is anyone else using the dev channel able to replicate this behavior?

On Chrome 13 it is instead a button at the bottom of the inspector.

It looks like this: { }

Thank you.

Javascript de-obfuscation FTW :-).

Finally! A feature so blindingly obvious but missing from all browsers: Native print to PDF

Am I missing something? It's there in Firefox, at least on Linux - can't speak for Windows though.

FF4/Win7 and FF6 (Aurora)/Win7 - no way to print to PDF natively. I still need to use a virtual PDF printer driver.

Whoops, huge misunderstanding. Apparently this is natively supported by the print dialog in Mac OS X too. I don't usually use Macs but I do now so I thought this was a novelty.

However the print/save feature mentioned in TFA only applies to PDF documents... It doesn't allow you to directly save webpages as PDFs which was what I thought.

Nevertheless it's not possible to save webpages to pdf natively on Windows without software printers such as pdfcreator. That hasn't changed... but would be a nice feature :)

I see. I didn't know Windows didn't get that feature. I guess we still need pdfcreator and friends then!

From which all browsers?

Version 12 and still no print preview?

It's there, but not yet enabled by default.

If you want to try it, go to about:flags, and set it to enabled.

Aren't they just using the "print to PDF, then show it in the brower" method?

I had it enabled for a while, but it never worked, which was pretty annoying when wanting to print a boarding pass.

Install IE-tab, which will give it to you on the right-click menu. Assumes you are on Windows.
