The Power User's Guide to Google Chrome, 2009 Edition
Google Chrome has come a long way in the past year , steadily adding subtle but useful features for power users. Let's take a fresh look at Chrome's current offerings—especially for those willing to brave its early developer builds. Not long after Chrome's release, our 2008 Chrome Power User's Guide covered its best features for savvy surfers, such as keyboard shortcuts and startup switches.Reader Scott writes in with a useful tip: you can drag any link directly from Chrome to a new tab in Firefox, or the other way around.
