Jumplists are one part of the new Windows 7. The jumplists basically give access to program related options. This can be the latest documents of Microsoft Word the most recent visited websites in Internet Explorer but also options to create a task like opening a new web browser window or sending an email.

The latest dev build of Google Chrome is now offering jumplist support in Windows 7. To open the jumplist just right-clicking the Google Chrome icon in the Windows taskbar. In Google Chrome jumplist is divided into four parts of which three are visible and one only if the user has added at least one item to it.

The Google Browser will show the most visited websites, the recently closed tab and tasks in the jumplist. The most visited and recent websites are directly taken from the web browser’s history while the task allows the user to open a new tab page.

The fourth group only becomes obtainable if the user pins an element in the jumplist. This is for example exceptional for fast accessing favorite websites from the Window 7 jumplist. The latest version of Google Chrome can be downloaded from the dev channel page. It is interesting to see that the Google Chrome progress team has added jumplist support while the Mozilla Firefox team has not shown any signs that they intend to support that feature in the near future.
