Is there a way to set a different search engine to private browsing mode? e.g. Google for normal mode and duckduckgo when switching to private mode? Thanks for your help!
Maybe you can try Turbo Browser：
You can switch the search engine easily on the search bar. Whether you want to use duckduckgo/google in normal mode or duckduckgo/google in privacy mode, it works.

I'm looking to offer the user (inside my Chrome Extension) the option to change their Omnibox default search engine.
Sadly, I've been unable to find any documentation on how to do something like this. Has anyone does this before successfully?
Actually with new versions of chrome it's possible through chrome API via settings_override section. But for now it's working only on windows.
Not possible, sadly. See this bug filed in Chromium
I am developing a responsive website. For each and every change I made in javascript, css & html file, I need to test it in all possible screen size in portrait and landscape mode. Normally we used to test it in 3 to 5 different browser window size, and in portrait & landscape. I felt changing screensize and orientation again and again is a tedious job. So planned to write a tool, which will open multiple browser windows in a different screen size with the given url loaded in it. Any idea, or advice how to start this?
PS. If you are voting for deleting this question, please consider commenting with some suggestion how I can start, or is there any free tool available for this.
Thanks in advance.
There are number of great tools and services for helping test a website in just about every possible OS/browser/size these days.
BrowserStack.com allows you to pull up your website on nearly every combination of OS/browser/size and use the site to see how elements and features perform. There are other many other services that do this.
Another option would be a browser extension/plugin like Chrome's Window Resizer. It allows you to quickly toggle between common (and custom) window sizes. This is the most manual of the three options here, and the only free option.
One final option is Adobe's Edge Inspect. This app allows you to connect several devices to your computer and simultaneously browse a site across each of the devices. It also allows you to remote inspection on each of the connected devices.
Tools like Selenium can drive browsers and resize them as needed. Depending on the language of your choice, google for something like: selenium resize browser (language of your choice)
I have problem that me (I'm in Europe) and my college (he is Europe) are getting different results for a search a Google query even though we use the following:
we added &pws=0 to query
we use browser in incognito mode.
Is there any way to turn off personalization completely?
It may be personalizing based on your location. You can get around this by going through a proxy (dreaded and unacceptable answer, I know). Google doesn't provide an easy option to disable it.
Try these Yoast plugins:

Or this Chrome extension:

Google allows you to set your search area as large as a country. By default, I set mine for the United States to remove any local bias that creeps into my results.
try go to the preference page and see if you and your colleague have different settings.

You may try using a different browser to get an "unpersonalized" search. There are some browsers that already claim to do this, but I haven't tested them myself...
There may be the problem of the search not being as complete as Google can 'sometimes' be. Google is most famous for it's search engine because of how it worked differently from other engines at the time it came out. This may be more or less the same now, or other companies may have caught up - I'm not sure.
One such engine goes by the ridiculous name "DuckDuckGo." It is the first result to show up "for me" when searching "unfiltered web search engines".
Other than that, you may try contacting Google representatives to get answers more directly.
How do I bring the Omnibar into focus in Google Chrome after a given event?
I've heard API support for the Omnibar is rather limited, but is this possible?
From the Google Chrome Extensions Omnibox Documentation:
The omnibox API allows you to register a keyword with Google Chrome's address bar, which is also known as the omnibox.
Unfortunately, that's the extent of what's possible. You can only specify the response to the user's query with a keyword you've registered, nothing else. Their discussion groups confirm that there are no current plans to add any more functionality.
option+command+f on a Mac, although it does type out?
I've been using VIM for a few weeks now while messing with various web languages and I'm really enjoying it.
I find it cumbersome having to tab or click into my browser and refresh the page to see the effect of a code change. It's even more annoying as I'm using Virtual Box and I tend to be working from PDF files on the host system so I have limited window space.
Do you gurus have any fancy ways of doing this? I was wondering if it's possible to split the VIM workspace and have links/lynx in a window of its own or something to that effect?
edit:
out of curiosity, if anyone is still glancing at this:-
is it possible to execute a browser from vim and load a URL based on a variable of sorts?
:! firefox http://localhost/bla/$CURRENTWORKINGFILE
sort of thing?
If you are developing locally where no one cares, how about setting some JS to refresh the page?
<script>
setTimeout(function() { location.reload() }, 60000 );
</script>
That way you can keep working in vim and take a glance at the web page every min or so to see it refresh. This should work for most web pages.
I do this on dual monitors by leaving VIM open on one monitor and the browser on the other.
I don't know how to do this in specific, but I know of two plugins which let you communicate with a shell from within VIM:

Use an app called XRefresh.
