[OSX-Users] Re: Tip: Chrome disk space

[Hugh Glaser]

Nice one. Thanks.
Got me more than a gig back, which is useful on an Air.

Getting there:
If you use Finder -> Go ->  "Go To Folder"
Then you don't want the \, use
/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/Versions/

Alternatively, Right-click, "Show Package Contents" on the App will let you navigate there.

Another example of Google doing Evil? :-)
