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

Javascript de-obfuscation FTW :-).

On Chrome 13.0.782.24 this doesn't seem to work: http://cl.ly/7euY 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: { }

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.

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.
  - gardarh 15y ago
    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?

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.
