Settings Button

A shortcut to Chrome settings page

This is just a shortcut to Chrome Settings, nothing more. When installed, it will add Settings icon to your browser's toolbar. Click the settings icon and you'll open Chrome settings page. And that's all this "extension" does... (There are, however, some settings for the extension itself that you may wih to check: you can set the button to open the settings panel in new tab or in the current tab and, if you want, you can add it to the context menu.) **Questions & Answers** Why adding separate extension for something that needs only two clicks in the menu? -- Because with the settings button in the toolbar you’ll do it in one click, which is 50% faster :) But extensions eat system memory, isn’t it stupid to waste resources just for quick shortcut to the settings page? -- This extension doesn’t “eat” memory. In technical words, it uses non-persistent background page, which means chrome doesn’t need to reserve memory for the settings button (check the Chrome Task Manager if you don’t trust us: when you click on the settings icon it will start the extension, open the settings page and remove it quickly after that) Why not just use a simple bookmark to the settings page instead of installing separate extension? -- You could, but you’ll need more clicks to access the bookmark from the menu or you’ll need to have the bookmarks bar open. For people like me the bookmarks bar is not a good choice (it takes from the vertical space of the browser) and the toolbar icon is more convinient. If I install it, is it easy to remove the extension if I don’t like it? -- Yes, you can remove it with literally two clicks (just right-click on the settings button and select “Remove from Chrome”) How to access the options page? -- Right-click on the settings icon and select “Options”. How to open the settings page in the current tab instead of opening new tab? -- Right-click on the extension’s icon and select “Options”, then uncheck the first checkbox How to add settings shortcut to the context menu? -- Go to the options page (see above) and check the respective checkbox (“Add settings button to context menu”) How to change the settings icon? -- Currently you can’t, but in the next version (coming soon) we’ll add this functionality Is it possible to add the settings button to chrome apps page? -- Currently you can, but in future it will be possible only on Chrome OS devices.
