Chromium Gets Rid Of Windows 7 Taskbar Thumbnails
The feature to display taskbar thumbnails in the Windows 7 operating system was recently added to Chromium and later on to Google Chrome. The taskbar thumbnails were enabled by default with no option to disable them in the web browser. Some users found a way to disable the thumbnail previews by running the Google Chrome or Chromium browser in Vista compatibility mode but that was seen as a temporary and not permanent solution.
This has caused some controversy and the latest Chromium nightlies now have the feature disabled by default which means that it is again possible to one-click access the web browser. It takes two clicks to open the web browser with taskbar thumbnails enabled.
