I was experimenting with Google chrome and accidnely foud a cool new feature which I liked a lot. Suppose you have 10 tabs opened in your chrome browser and you want to move out one tab to a new window, hust drag the tab out of the main window….. There you are… you get a new chrome window witht the same page opened. If you do the same in Firefox 3, you get a short cut added to the desktop and you cant do this in IE 7
.
Note: Google chrome tabs are seperate windows process and as a result if one tab crashes, it wont affect other tabs!!
The screen shot is provided below.

The thing I like most… browser competition and the ending of a proprietary monopoly.
Very good features Thanks for sharing
I am enjoying how fast Chrome is and it will be my default browser for a minute. I am missing the way FF handles bookmarks and of course if Chrome had Adblock Plus, Greasemonkey, and a few other extensions it would be over for Firefox. Until then Firefox will remain on my system. It’s so strange going to my usual websites like Digg and seeing ads for the first time.
Chrome is superb.
Some things i noticed were that firstly, its address bar also works as a search bar and on right clicking it, it also allows to select a particular search engine
This is one of many good features on Google Chrome. I like it very much!

Yeah, my mousepad is pretty warn in so when I click on one of my tabs it accidentally drags the tab out but it crashes my whole browser whenever it happens. I am NOT happy with it. It the only way it causes my browser to crash. I wish there was a way to LOCK tabs so I cant do this.
