New Chromebook feature: three-finger trackpad scrub moves between tabs!

I was browsing the Chrome Releases blog today, at the intersection between Chrome OS and Stable Updates and noticed an interesting new feature in the 27.0.1453.103 version release:

Horizontal three finger scrub moves between tabs

I tried this out on my Chromebook, and it works amazingly well — with a little indicator of which tab you’re about to switch to.

To get this working:

1. Ensure your Chromebook is updated to at least 27.0.1453.103. [Settings > Help > note the Version you're running]
2. Open more than one tab (three works well!)
3. Ensure that the tab on the far left (or the far right) is selected.
4. Place three fingers on left side of the trackpad, and swipe them to the right side of the trackpad. (Or the opposite, to go the other way.)
5. Watch your tabs change!

I haven’t written a review of my 11.6″ ARM-based Samsung Chromebook yet, but I really like it.  When I travel on business, it’s the only computer I take with me., since I only need to access webmail or read PDFs when I’m away from teh office.  It also works great for any personal business — Google Docs, Hangouts with friends over hotel wifi (since I use a hotspot for my internet at home), reading the news, etc.
