Only it really doesn't

It looks more and more like IE 8 with each update, they keep copying microsoft's features, like

* a close X in each tab
* a new tab icon
* leaving the tab bar present
* removing the menu bar in favor of tool buttons like 'Page' on the left and 'Tools' on the right (more confusing than IE 8)
* a quick tabs-like 'thumbnail preview' button
* separating tabs into their own process, a security and stability feature that MS pioneered in browsers

To answer all the ABMers:

No Chrome was not the first to release a browser with tab isolation, Microsoft was. They released IE 8 beta 1 publicly in March 2008, many moons before Chrome even saw the light of day!

Geez, doesn't anyone innovate anymore, or do they all just copy Microsoft?!
