Re-openning last session in Chrome

Yesterday, I updated my my Chrome browser from version 0.2.149.29 to version 0.2.149.30, I didn't notice much difference and I didn't expected so, because usually this kind of minor updates are just about stability & security issues.
But actually, there was a difference. Usually, when I close my browser, I keep few tabs opened to continue what I'm doing next time. The one problem I was facing earlier that when I open my browser again, the browser has to reload all the pages I left open from the last time. This might not be a problem for people working ADSL or T1 connections, but for me, it is! Because I'm working on a dial-up connection, which is too slow.
But now with this latest version of Chrome the problem has been resolved. Now, even all the old pages are reopened, but they don't reload until I open that tap. So when I open my browser the tab that I was last on will reload, but others won't till I click on it to open it. Or after a while from opening Chrome, other tabs will load one after another, even if I didn't opened that other tabs.
There are some other stuff also under the hood that I don't know yet.

Google Chrome comic story

I've stumbled today upon a very nice comic story about Google Chrome, the brand new browser from Google.  It talks about technical issues, its features, and the new ideas applied by chrome team for the new generation of web browsers.

When I started to read the story, I couldn't stop to the end.  I suggest you to read it if you'd like to understand how google staf think about thier products, especialy Google Chrome.
