Google Chrome Tips

Tom Spring of PC World has posted some handy tips and tweaks to the new Google Chrome browser. The highlights for me are:

1. CTRL + SHIFT + N automatically opens up a Chrome 'incognito' window which allows you to surf on a PC without leaving behind any digital footprints.
2. CTRL + SHIFT + T will open recently closed browser tabs.
3. Type about:internets into the address bar and you'll see a tribute to United States Senator Ted Stevens' take on the Internet. (This only works in Windows XP)
4. Chrome allows you to peel browser tabs off a browser so they can become their own browser window. Chrome also allows you to take two separate Chrome browsers and drag them together creating one window with two tabs.
