I read the manifesto and it seemed like a brilliant way to reconstruct the browser. But it doesn’t seem to work all that great or be any faster or hang up less. New pages seem to hang blank for awhile before they appear. And it lacks basic functionality like being able to set the new tab page.
So maybe work the kinks out before you push the hype.
ymmv
It was significantly faster than other browsers when it first launched.
Seriously, is there a way to undo a close tab? 'Cos I seem to do that a lot and it irritates the shit out of me that there appears to be no way to get it back.
I don’t know about Chrome, but firefox has tab mix plus where one can reopen the last 10 tabs one had open.
I didn’t like Chrome’s response to adblock, even though it works on it now apparently.
Right-click any of the current tabs, the option is in the context menu.
Cheers. Had to be somewhere. I don’t really get on with Google’s UI decisions, but the browser is so much faster than Firefox and IE on the Windows machine I am forced to use at work.
Also, if you open a new tab, at the bottom you can click “Recently closed” and a list of all your recently closed tabs pops up that you can select from.
Not on mine it doesn’t.
Edit:
Oh you mean on the bottom of the screen/page, not the bottom of the menu? Google’s genius UI designers strike again.
Yeah, bottom of the page. I’m with you on the designers - don’t get me started on gmail.
Ctrl+Shift+t reopens closed tabs.
The “new tab redirect” extension will do that for you, if you want.
Although the idea of each thread having its own process has its advantages, that means each tab also uses more resources. I like to open like 40 or 50 tabs at once when I first sit at my PC at home. This works OK with Firefox, but with Chrome not so much.
