If you accidentally close too many tabs, Shift-Ctrl-T will reopen them. And will remember content in forms. I like Chrome.
Shift-cmd-t makes you wonder what the hell everybody else is doing that it took so long to get this feature.
Now its time to figure out how to set up a server that can handle few thousand viewers. Cache: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://...
I still really don't understand what's so hard about a couple thousand views. I've had a couple posts hit the front page (even #1 on HN and #5 on prog.reddit), and my server was fine. I use Apache to serve the resources and Clojure to handle web requests. Nothing fancy.

I can relate, though maybe he is being a tad sensationalist. I expect (say) my bookmarks to be synced between all my computers. I'm sure plugins do this on other browsers, though. The biggest reason I don't consider Opera or FF for daily use anymore: Non-chrome browsers drive me crazy due to the way they close tabs. It is very stressful compared to mouse-closing tabs in Chrome and its "smart positioning."
Compared to closing several tabs in Chrome, doing a similar thing in the Win7 shell (close several open folders) is infuriatingly difficult. The target size of the close icon is so small , and missing it is doubly bad: it makes you start the task all over again, plus a random window is now positioned to the front destroying your work context.
just like how you can middle close to close a tab in most browsers
From the article: > most people I know including myself couldn’t live without Chromium/V8 anymore. Is this a common sentiment ?

I've been leaning back towards firefox recently due to how chrome handles large number of tabs: poorly. It'll squeeze them down to the point that they wont even show the favicon, making finding an open page annoying - compared to firefox, which has a minimum tab length, and scrolls the tab bar if it grows too large to fit. The rest might be a personal prefference, but I rarely use the mouse to close tabs anyway, ctrl…

Using Chrome is like driving a luxury car for the first time. I remember when I got in a '93 Mercedes SL 500 in the rain and when I slowed down so did the windshield wipers. I know others replicated the behavior in later models, but driving that car made me realize that every other car was designed by people who didn't, apparently, drive cars. I love using the 'smart tab positioning' example: how many times have peop…
I love using the 'smart tab positioning' example: how many times have people moved the mouse to close 4 or 5 tabs? I would expect that most people close multiple tabs with [cmd|ctrl]-w, precisely because of the back and forth mousing otherwise required. One thing I've worried about while using Chrome has been accidentally closing more than one tab at once, since, being a klutz, I don't have wonderful control over my…
As it stands unless I'm wrong a user would have to go digging for these shortcuts online or by clicking help and actually knowing what they are looking for. Seems like a stretch for most browser users.
