Chrome is experimenting with a 'Switch to this tab' button

If you've ever absentmindedly loaded a website that you already had open, don't worry - you're not alone. Google has long had a flag that could help with that, though it's now experimenting with an improved UI containing a 'Switch to this tab' button for it.

The stable implementation.

Chances are that you didn't know this flag (chrome://flags/#omnibox-tab-switch-suggestions) existed in the first place. In its current stable implementation (see above), it's only distinguished by a tiny icon and some 'Switch to tab' text.
