It is far too easy to accidentally rip the tab out of the browser when swapping tabs.

To reproduce:

  1. Load up a whole load of tabs
  2. Click on the tabs in an excited agitated state

After a few clicks you are almost certainly going to accidentally rip a tab out of the browser.

If you didn't try this...

espresso

Have two espressos and repeat step 2.

Maybe it is my fault because I drink too much espresso but frankly I think if you conducted a focus group session of your target market you'd find a lot of us like to Drink and Browse.  Dangerous I know!  But common.

I shudder to think how many other anxious shaking wrecks out there are accidentally ripping their Chrome browser to pieces because the tabs come off to easily.

Perhaps you could have a configurable amount of "stickiness" to the tabs?

p.s.  LOVE Chrome overall. Keep up the great work!

Warm (yet hyper-anxious) regards,
