Interestingly enough, both you an Beta are complaining about this on a Mac. Another fail.

I open a new tab before I enter an address in;

if I use that, I have to move my hand to the keyboard, which take more time than moving my mouse up.

How often do you NOT type if you are opening a new tab?

I move my hand to the keyboard while opening the tab.

As for your mouse disappearing on ⌘ Cmd+T, looks like you Mac is broken. That is the right keyboard shortcut. You should use Windows!

I said what happens on control t, not command t; look at my post.

And in general, GUI navigation is slow. I recommend trying to go a few weeks without a mouse as MUCH as possible. You might be amazed how much faster you can become leveraging your shortcuts.

Just set my clock to display seconds to time this... and... less than a second opening tab with mouse... about 1.5 seconds for keyboard. That's on Safari, I don't know about Chrome.

Edit: Also, to the argument that tabs on top saves space, chew on this:

Safari has, actually, slightly more space when you have address bar, tab bar, and bookmarks bar all visible. That's great space saving on Chrome's part, right?

1. Control + T is for Windows. You can safely assume most tips I give you (and most users for that fact) are for Windows, and you need to convert for Mac.
2. And blame your Mac once again. Here is a Windows screenshot. Nice. (notice no forced menu, no minimize/maximize/close as that is on the right side inline with tabs. What you are seeing is literally the very top-left of my screen).

To me tho, these are minor nuances when you have a 1920x1080 screen rez. Chrome puts them all to bed is several other ways... mostly it's speed, ability to render elements correctly, great web dev tools, and it's pretty awesome array of extensions in such a short period of time... especially the ones that integrate my droid phone (like chome to phone).

I'm not complaining about the mac, just the way when I use private browsing, get logged out sometimes. I just dealt with it the simple way. No private browsing in VW forum.
As for the tabs, well yeah Cmd+T and immediately start typing with maximum time saving. I'm also using a laptop so my hands are basically always on the keyboard

And blame your Mac once again

Actually you have the same amount of space with the option of "full-screen" apps and quickly navigate in between them with a trackpad or with cmd+arrows or alt+tab etc etc...

1. Yes, I know. That's why, in my original post responding to that, I pointed that out.
2. Blame windows would be more appropriate, I think. I just came on my Windows computer, and all the browsers have less space due to the stuff Windows forces on it. And the menu bar is something many people find useful, believe it or not.

I'm not complaining about the mac,

I know... I'm just not missing an opportunity to bash the mac users Macs are actually very good in different ways, like OS architecture.

just the way when I use private browsing

This will happen on Windows too. When I use Chrome Incognito, this is exactly what happens. I'm pretty sure it has to do with cookies not being stored. So yes, if you want to stay logged, no private browsing.

Blame windows would be more appropriate, I think. I just came on my Windows computer, and all the browsers have less space due to the stuff Windows forces on it. And the menu bar is something many people find useful, believe it or not.

1. Based on our screenshots and what are you referring to: What I see is Mac forcing stuff not Windows, and I have more space, not you.
2. Menu, it's there in Chrome. Notice the nice use of space by leveraging a single icon (let alone, keyboard shortcuts once again eliminate the need for one quite often):

1. Our WIndows computers may be different. Regardless, this would be irrelevant if my parents weren't too technophobic to upgrade the OS on here...
2. Yet is has fewer options and requires going to more menus for much of the stuff...
3. THis has turned into a Browser/OS debate, not a bug report. Not really a reason to keep this topic open anymore.
