From a while back, but still relevant as the speed of the GMail web-UI still has not improved.

[WayBack] browser – Clearing old browsing data in Chrome instead of newer data – Super User had a few possibilities, but eHistory disappeared from the Chrome store (apparently due to some unknown violation), so the way that works best now is to hack the History database which is a SQLite file as mentioned in
[WayBack] How can I delete all web history that matches a specific query in Google Chrome – Super User: For literal values of “query”…You can even query your Chrome history using SQL. (Firefox too: see below. Of course, the appropriate file path will have to be changed).

Cool: [WayBack] GitHub – kzahel/web-server-chrome: An HTTP Web Server for Chrome (chrome.sockets API)
This allows you to develop HTTP applications that live in Chrome:
[Archive.is1/Archive.is2] Web Server for Chrome – Chrome Web Store: A Web Server for Chrome, serves web pages from a local folder over the network, using HTTP. Runs offline.
Of course you could to python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8888 or python -m http.server 8888, but this runs within chrome and can be used from inside JavaScript projects.
Features
- serve local files
- configure listening port
- configure listening interface (e.g. localhost or all interfaces)
- custom http handlers possible
- websocket support available
- works nice with chrome.runtime.onSuspend
- options for autostart, start in background, etc etc.
- handles range requests, HEAD, etc
- options for CORS
- optional PUT, DELETE request (for upload files)
- sets MIME types
- can render directory listing
- See relevant options: https://github.com/kzahel/web-server-chrome/blob/master/polymer-ui/options.js
Via [WayBack] This is super useful: A# web #server that runs in #Chrome! Makes it super easy to do local web dev without the hassle of setting up a complex back end s… – Jason Mayes – Google+

Interesting: Secure Shell – Chrome Web Store. But does not work behind an SSH blocking firewall, seem more on that below.
Terminal emulator and SSH client.
Secure Shell is an xterm-compatible terminal emulator and stand-alone ssh client for Chrome. It uses Native-Client to connect directly to ssh servers without the need for external proxies.
Secure Shell is a Beta release and has known bugs.
Please read the FAQ, available here: http://goo.gl/3i5AJ.
You can also exchange feedback in the chromium-hterm mailing list, available here: http://goo.gl/RYHiK.
Edit 20240818: the above Googl links will die; the redirects back at the time of writing in 2014 where to:
- [Wayback/Archive] [chromiumos/platform/assets.git] / chromeapps / nassh / doc / faq.txt which first moved to [Wayback/Archive] hterm and Secure Shell – nassh/doc/FAQ.md and later moved to [Wayback/Archive] hterm and Secure Shell – nassh/docs/FAQ.md.
- [Wayback/Archive] chromium-hterm – Google Groups which now has moved to [Wayback/Archive] chromium-hterm – Google Groups.
It is based on [WayBack] GitHub – chromium/hterm: MOVED: Please use the new libapps repo on chromium.googlesource.com insteadf.
With relays, you can tunnel over SSH. Two relays are on github:

Cool feature I discovered from [WayBack] How to read network requests in Chrome for new tab or popup window:
chrome://net-internals/#events
It will immediately show all events from all tabs including networking events.
The red bar at the top has a drop down on the right where you can stop them and perform a few other actions.
During or after capture, you can select relevant requests from the list (through checkboxes) so the right of the pane gets their info (which is a lot: not just the request/response content including all headers and cookies, but also any delegates from extensions and their results).

This is still so cool: [WayBack] Free Linux cloud shell for Gmail users … – Adrian Marius Popa – Google+:
Free Linux cloud shell for Gmail users
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16247577
comments are more interesting
“If you want a free Linux box with a Public IP and SSH, I’d recommend spinning up an f1-micro VM. It’s part of the permanent free tier”

Even cooler is that you can use it both from a web browser and from your own console, more on that below.

Boy, I totally missed that the Google Photos search has become this smart: [WayBack] 8 Brilliant Search Tools Hidden Within Google Photos:
Google Photos’ search tools have powerful algorithms that are on par with that of Google’s search engine.
Things I tried so far at photos.google.com and they all work, most way better than I anticipated:
- Person names
- Object names (like Fiat, BMW, Mercedes, Mitsubishi, Ford; Fiat got me way more car types than the other brands)
- Area names (cities, places, countries, etc)
- Time
- Screenshot, screenshots, png, jpg
- Tall, wide, but these worked better: portrait, landscape
- WMC

Reminder to self:
Some 5 years after the .zip top-level domain got live, I wonder if there are any domains in it.
Currently, it screws up non-quoted searches in browsers like Chrome, so I wonder if this still holds: .ZIP URLs (or, Why You Should Block Domains on a TLD That Doesn’t Have Any) | Blue Coat
When writing this, there was one domain (nic.zip) and two registrars.

It seems Google Voice has gotten more restrictions over time that I was not aware of: [Archive.is] No forwarding phone number – Google Product Forums:
Bluescat said:
There is no bug involved here. And no, you haven’t stumbled on a way to game the system.
Two things have changed.
- With the introduction of Google Hangouts’ ability to place and receive calls via a Google Voice telephone number, the requirement to maintain a 10-digit forwarding phone number was removed. So yes, you can remove all forwarding phone numbers from your account if you wish. However, keep in mind that you have now made it more difficult to access your account from a telephone, to manage your voicemail greetings, listen to messages, set Do Not Disturb mode, etc. Without a forwarding phone number, you have no way to do that over the phone.
- In response to fraud and abuse of the service, Google now requires that users have a valid, working (paid-service) telephone number, which hasn’t been previously used to claim another Google Voice number, to be eligible to be issued a new Google Voice number. This is designed to deter people from collecting multiple Google Voice phone numbers to use for spam, robocalling, stalking, etc. Once that number has been used to claim a Google Voice number, it can’t be used to claim another Google Voice number. However, there’s no requirement that it be left on the account. Removing the forwarding phone from one Google Voice account will not enable that forwarding number to be used to claim a Google Voice number for another account.
So, all you did was use up your husband’s entitlement to a Google Voice number.
Finally, a disclaimer: Google Voice cannot be used for emergency 911 calling. Not having some alternative telephone service available for that purpose is a very bad idea.

If you want to process the JSON form the Google Take Out, then below are some resources that will help you get started developing
Started developing you say?
Yes, of course the JSON does not match APIs any more, and of course Google has not provided and starting point or guidance.
A perfect execution of Sunset.
So you are on your own with:

In the mean time, some people started hosting their HTML take out, for instance:
Here you have to note that the take out does not include media, and many hyperlinks still point to within Google Plus itself, for instance for circles and avatars.
