Mission Control Like Tab Browsing in Chrome?

Google Chrome is always full of new surprises. This week I found this little gem that is sure to please a few. One of my features of Lion is Mission Control which allows you to see all your open programs at once. This feature started out as Expose but now is widely used because of the multi-touch trackpad.

Chrome offers a similar feature called Tab Overview. This is only on the Mac and you have to manually enable it. In Chrome open a new tab type “about:flags” and hit enter. This will open a menu of many features that you can enable and disable. Look for the one that says Tab Overview Mac and enable it. Then restart Chrome for this to take effect.

Now when you have multiple tabs open in chrome you can use a 3 fingers and swipe down to zoom out and see all tabs. It is also mention that this works spectacular in full screen mode. After playing with the for only a few minutes I was in love. Though it might not even be enabled at release of a new version of Chrome, I am glad that we can still turn on and enable the feature as we like. Test it out and let me know what you think.

Get Google Chrome
