Jumplists are part of the new Windows 7 taskbar. The jumplists basically provide access to program related options. This can be the most recent documents of Microsoft Word, the latest visited websites in Internet Explorer but also options to create a task like sending an email or opening a new web browser window.
The latest dev version of Google Chrome is now offering jumplist support in Windows 7. The jumplist can be opened by right-clicking the Google Chrome icon in the Windows taskbar. The Google Chrome jumplist is divided into four areas of which three are always visible and one only if the user has added at least one item to it.
The Google Browser will display the most visited websites, the recently closed websites and tasks in the jumplist. The most visited and recent websites are directly taken from the web browser’s history while the task allow the user to open a new window (either normal or in incognito mode).
The fourth group only becomes available if the user pins an element in the jumplist. This is for example excellent for quickly accessing favorite websites from the Windows 7 jumplist. The latest developer build of Google Chrome can be downloaded from the dev channel page. It is interesting to see that the Google Chrome development 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.

I would love to see support for the preview windows when you highlight the icon, showing each tab rather than just the currently open tab.
Internet Explorer does it and I hope Google can also include this feature.
Well then I am gonna show signs of not supporting firefox anymore and switching to chrome.
