About:Labs Now in Chrome Dev
Posted on 09. Sep, 2010 by Daniel Cawrey in Tips
As mentioned in last night’s Daily post, the newest version of Chrome Dev now has the Google Chrome Labs function in the browser. In order to use it, all you need to do is type in “about:labs” in the Omnibox, and you’ll get a screen that looks like this.
For the time being, the only thing that Chrome Labs has to offer is the ability to use sidebar tabs. This may be helpful if you are using a computer that has widescreen, otherwise I’m not sure what the benefits would be. As Google has said, Chrome Labs is simply “crazy experimental stuff” which is another way of saying “we’re going to try some stuff and some of it may not be useful”.
There’s nothing wrong with a little experimentation. If you haven’t used side tabs yet, try it out. Let us know if it is useful, or if you envision it being good on tablets or some other device.
