App Support Turned on in Chromium by Default

DownloadSquad’s Lee Matthews is reporting today that the switch once required to use webapps as tabs in Chromium has been turned on off and is now standard in the browser. This pretty much means the same feature is going to start trickling down through the rest of the browser channels sometime soon.
This is a pretty cool feature; tabs have been transformed from simple web pages into something more “application-like” complete with icons. There are currently apps for Facebook, Dropbox, Reader and more. If you want information on how to do this right now, here is my article on it.
We should see these features in stable builds very soon. The pace of Chrome development is starting to speed up as we hurtle towards the fourth quarter when Chrome OS tablets/netbooks are slated to arrive from major manufacturers.
