On: Coming to Chrome: a new way to use tabs

[macrael]

LOL "tab groups" AKA "windows". You can have this life today! When you have a tab that doesn't fit in with the others, pull it into its own window. When you're done asking google a question, close the window to close all the tabs associated with it. Use cmd-` to cycle through windows and expose to find a specific one!

I am happy to see them doing something new with tabs, I'm just sad that so many people seem to have stopped using the oldest GUI metaphor in the book in favor of monolithic browsers.

This is what I do, but for me it only works because window management is so quicky and easy with Expose gestures on my Mac.

Doing the same approach on Windows drives me crazy and I end up wanting to have all my tabs in one window so I can find them.
