Google Chrome - Drag and Drop URL from Firefox

SUMMARY: You can drag and drop a tab from Firefox to view the same page from within Google Chrome.

Viewing a webpage in Firefox and want to see how it looks in Google Chrome? Instead of copying the URL from Firefox and pasting it into Google Chrome, or even retyping it, there's an easier way.

(This has been tested with Firefox 2 and Firefox 3.)

Just move your mouse pointer to a tab in Firefox, hold the left button down and move the mouse pointer to Google Chrome. Release the left button, and voila! Your webpage is now visible inside Google Chrome.

Note that this will replace the contents of the current tab, so you may want to create a new tab in Google Chrome before dragging and dropping a tab from Firefox.

This tip is for a BETA version of Google Chrome. Information and screenshots are subject to change.
