• On the bottom of New Tab page, the most recent few are listed in the “Recently closed” section. You can even use this after restarting the browser, in case you accidentally quit with something important open.



• If you right-click in the tabstrip, you’ll see an option to “Reopen closed tab” or “Reopen closed window”, depending on what you last closed. Using this repeatedly goes back through the remembered tabs and windows, from most to least recent.



• If keyboard shortcuts suit you more than context menus, just use ctrl-shift-T to reopen a close tab or window.

Google Chrome is a web browser that runs web pages and applications with lightning speed.

Incognito – When you don’t want your website visits to be recorded in your browser history, you can browse in incognito mode. (A handy feature for planning surprise gifts and birthdays!)

Darin Fisher talks about the recently upstreamed Chromium WebKit API. The API is a critical step in our path to becoming completely integrated into the WebKit project. Like the other WebKit APIs, ours is a veneer which shields developers (including many of our own) from the internal details of WebKit (named WebCore). Darin talks at a high level about the API, dives into some code examples, and talks about the history and future of the API.

You can read more about these features on the Google Chrome blog, or you can try it out directly by downloading the Google Chrome Beta for Mac. If you’re already using Chrome, you should be automatically updated to the new beta within the next day.

Downloading Google Chrome will give your mouse pointer a new reason to get excited:

You can use the mouse to grab a tab and drag it around in the tabstrip, to keep related tabs close to each other.

If you need even better delineation between tasks, just drag a tab out of the strip entirely and drop it somewhere on your desktop. You’ll get a whole new window to keep stuff in, and you can then drag more tabs from your old window to your new one.

Didn’t mean to create that window? Just drag the tab you dropped back up to the original tabstrip to put it back.

Of course, sometimes you don’t want to move tabs, you just want to get rid of them. If you find that highlighting the little “x” that closes a tab is too tricky, you can just point at any part of the tab in the tabstrip and press your mouse’s middle button. This makes it just a little easier to go close a tab.

And after you close one tab, the next tab will slide right under your mouse, so if you want to close a bunch, you can just keep clicking.

Extensions are little programs, created by developers, which add useful functionality to the browser and to the websites you visit. Some provide you with alerts and notifications, others let you easily access your favorite web services from icons next to your address bar, and there are lots more.

In the video below, I walk through how to install an extension as well as a few that I find useful:

You can find extensions for Google Chrome in our extension gallery, and install the ones that interest you. Extensions on Google Chrome take only seconds to install, and can be uninstalled just as easily. You can view and manage the settings for your extensions by clicking on the Tools menu and selecting “Extensions.”

In addition to extensions, another feature that’s moving from our beta to the stable channel on the Windows version of Google Chrome is bookmark sync. For those of you who use several computers — for example, a laptop at work and a desktop at home — you can now keep your Google Chrome bookmarks synchronized and up-to-date across computers, without needing to manually recreate your bookmarks every time you switch computers. To read more on bookmark sync, check out this handy guide.

For web developers and designers, we’re excited to integrate a number of new HTML5 APIs in this stable release, including LocalStorage, Database API, WebSockets, and more. To dive into these features, read on in the Chromium Blog.

Lastly but certainly not the least, we’ve improved performance (as measured by Mozilla’s Dromaeo DOM Core Tests) by 42% over our last stable release and 400% since our first stable release last year.

To those using Google Chrome on Linux, extensions are enabled on the beta channel. And for those using Google Chrome for Mac, hang tight — we’re working on bringing extensions, bookmark sync and more to the beta soon. Those currently using the stable version for Windows will be automatically updated within the next week (or you can check for updates manually).

If you’re on a PC and haven’t tried Google Chrome yet, you can download Google Chrome and give all these new features a whirl.

Extensions let you add new features and functions to your browser. Some provide one-click access to some of your favorite web applications like eBay and digg, or news and information sources such as NPR and Time.com. Others are useful tweaks for performing common online tasks such as browsing photos, getting directions or shopping.

We previously launched extensions on the beta channel, and many new extensions have since been contributed by developers from all over the world. Now you can browse over 1,500 in our extensions gallery and install them on the stable version of Google Chrome.

Bookmark sync is a handy feature for those of you who use several computers — say, a laptop at work and a desktop at home. You can enable bookmark sync to synchronize your bookmarks on all of your computers so that when you create a bookmark on one computer, it’s automatically added across all your computers. This means that you won’t need to manually recreate the bookmark each time you switch computers.

You can read more about today’s stable release — including performance improvements — on the Google Chrome Blog. Or if you want a look under the hood at what this update means for web developers (including new HTML and Javascript APIs), check out the Chromium blog.
