I'm trying out Chrome again - hot DAMN it's fast.
Anyone know how I can get it to open new tabs from the omnibar by default?

I just installed Ubuntu on my wee Asus Eee PC. It's so pretty and fast! And I used the terminal to install a chat client, so I feel all power-user-ish. That won't last, but it's a nice feeling for the moment.

Jessica,
if you find out, let me know.
I LOVE Chrome. Poor Firefox. I kicked it to the curb.

Chrome and Firefox 4 have become somewhat interchangeable for me. I like the higher level of control Firefox gives you over the browser, but I really like the way you can use URLs and Searches in the same place instead of two different places. Not that the Firefox way is some huge burden though.
IE 9 is a huge improvement, but setting it up with useful extensions seems like such a PITA compared to the other browsers.
I suspect once Firefox 4 is released that'll be my go-to browser. Chrome is still great, though.

I switched to Chrome on my netbook because the little processor in there was really burdened by Firefox and my love of multiple tabs. It's amazing the difference in speed, but I do miss some of the functionality of Firefox.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
This laptop came with chrome as its default browser instead of ie. So I used it like I do ie, to download firefox. But I'm cranky at the new tabs in this version of firefox, because when I click a link to open a new tab, it opens in a tab right next to my current one, instead of at the end. I prefer it at the end, because I like to go through the tabs chronologically, left to right. I'm not really looking at the titles. But now I have to, and I don't remember which ones I clicked when, and I can't see where to change it and it's annoying.

This is vaguely tech-related: anyone have a favorite website or method for last minute travel deals? My travel for next week just got canceled, and while normally id be fine, this weeks was also canceled, so I may take vacation...if I can find somewhere to go.
