Heh, checked that in Opera just to see if it would work, and they have the same command usage.  Shows all plugins.

Can't remember, do other browsers have a recent history/trashcan like setup where you can reopen a tab you closed earlier?

Chrome has an open last closed tab/open last closed window/recently closed

I frequently get all clicky and close windows i needed. opens right back up (even most time with entered text fields still filled in).
Oh wow, I figured the trashcan was standard on all the popular web browsers since it's so incredibly useful.  In Opera it works just as you describe in Chrome, except it lists every tab ever closed in the session.  I guess that's another reason I'll stick with Opera :)

Firefox has the same. There's a Recently Closed Tab menu, showing the ten most recently closed tabs (and restoring any you click on), a similar Recently Closed Windows menu, and a session manager, allowing you to restore entire previous sessions (including all the open tabs at the time the session was closed).

I mainly use Chrome though I still have FF to get my girlfriend free coins on Bejeweled blitz on Facebook with a hack.

I abandoned IE at version 7 (I think) when they installed that awful anti-phishing feature that bogged down page load. You could disable it but it soured me enough to not want to go back.

Plus Google chrome has some cool Atari plugins so I can play tempest, asteroids, and centipede how they were meant to be played. On a keyboard with the sound off hunched over in my cubicle when my boss isn't looking.

Google and Apple are EVIL, so Chrome and Safari are only there to test some websites.
Firefox I use most, mainly because I loaded it with add-ons. The search plugin collection of MOZDEV is unmatched, and Greasemonkey, Adblock, Webdeveloper, UASwitcher, Ghostery, Downloadthemall etc are really nice plugins.
I use Camino a lot on my old G4 mac, and Opera/Tenfourfox if I want the fancy HTML5 stuff on a G4 mac, since almost noone compiles for PowerPC any longer.

I use Safari to grab stuff hidden in Javascript or Flash, since its activity console gives you URL's to ANY content. There is nothing that can be blocked from Safari to download!

Last I use is Paparazzi, as it allows you to render webpages at 10000x10000 pixels, very nice for Google Maps.
