I Love Chrome
Firefox 4 will be introducing a new feature called “Switch to Tab” or “Tab Matches in Awesomebar”, a feature that attempts to see if the page you’re looking for is already open. You’ll be taken to that open tab instead of opening a new one.
Wait a second, am I talking about Chrome or Firefox here ?
Confused ? sorry, here is the real deal. Chrome developers are also working on a similar functionality. This will be really useful for people who use a lot of tabs at the same time. I had noticed something similar when I was playing with web apps earlier.
Talking about of those kind of people, here is an extension that will let you limit the number of tabs you will open at the same time, and news about side tabs coming to chrome, which also will give you a better tab managing experience.

First off, we are talking about early development or beta version of all three browsers, and when the final product is out, things may change.
Now, here is the deal.
Sebastian Anthony of Downloadsquad took all three browsers, their latest beta or dev versions with hardware acceleration enabled, for a spin and he has a good news for Chrome users. Chrome 7 seems to be performing better than Firefox 4 and IE9. This however comes at a cost, a high amount of resource usage compared to the rest.

Google introduced a new gmail feature, priority inbox yesterday. Now looks like it has a funny, musical, chrome only bug ! I couldn’t test and confirm since I do not have priority inbox yet, if anyone here has a clue, let me know ! so, here goes
Google is rolling out Gmail Priority Inbox to all Gmail users this week, but it’s causing a (mildly entertaining) problem in Google Chrome already, which has meant that we, along with countless others, have opened our inboxes to the jaunty sound of some old ragtime type jazz. If this is you too, don’t worry, it’s not a virus, and yes, it is real.
Gmail Priority Inbox has been launched in beta today, and it’s got a curious bug, but only in Google’s own Chrome browser: Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer don’t seem to be affected.
The music is coming from the new Gmail Priority Inbox tab on the top right of the page, and should only be appearing if you’re in your Gmail Inbox in a Chrome browser. Click on the tab, and a video comes up. This video is the source of the music, even if it doesn’t actually appear to be playing. Switch it off, and you’re good to go, and the problem shouldn’t reappear if you reopen your browser.

The Mac version of Chrome is experimenting with something Google calls “Tab Overview” or Tabpose. Tabpose is similar to Mac OS X’s Expose; it allows you to visually pull back and see all your tabs as thumbnails and quickly switch between them.
Here is a screenshot that http://arstechnica.com has posted on their blog. However, I believe that there a lot more coming in for tab pose and it will be something that adds beauty to Chrome OS.
