Great feature. Unfortunately, Adobe have a patent (http://www.patentgenius.com/patent/5546528.html http://www.patentgenius.com/patent/5546528.html) on dragging tabs to create new windows. They filed suit against Macromedia over it in 2000 (http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200008/20000810macro.html http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/2000...).
Hopefully Adobe will be good sports this time...
- tlrobinson 18y agoSafari has had the "drag tab for a new window" feature for a few years, and Apple hasn't had any problems... yet. Of course I doubt Adobe would want to mess with Apple, or Google for that matter.
- river_styx 18y agoIndeed, many of these amazing new innovations that people are ascribing to Chrome have been there in Safari/Webkit for a while.
- DougBTX 18y agoJust the way these things go - the same happened with features from Opera being introduced to a wider audience through Firefox. Answer: if you want credit for an idea, implement and get it in the hands of millions of people.
