Like GMail Chrome allows really useful shortcuts. Some of my favorites are:

  1. You can drag a link between tabs to open the link in a new tab in the specified position on the tab strip.
  2. Ctrl1-8 allows you to switch tabs by tab position on the strip. Ctrl-9 switched to the last tab.
  3. Like Firefox you can drag the tab to a different position in the tab strip, the UI is smoother.
  4. Use Ctrl-Shift-T to reopen the last closed tab. Chrome remembers last 10 closed tabs.
  5. Many Firefox and windows shortcuts work as expected like Alt-F4 to close current windows, use Ctrl-w to close current tab, Ctrl-Tab to switch to next tab, Ctrl-Shift-Tab to switch to previous tab etc.
