I can't find a way
- to sort search results by sender.

Sample use case: search for something in the spam folder and sort the results by sender to quickly weed out unwanted results.
Google calendar
missing features
- No way to show rolling seven days. The closest I could find is a weekly view with a customizable start day.
- No way to enter strike through text in the event description.
Youtube
use html5 instead of flash
- Go to www.youtube.com/html5 and set YouTube's HTML5 player to be used wherever possible. This setting is stored in a cookie.
