Ah, memories; in those days a UI had to be reactive, giving the user immediate feedback. Nowadays, you click a button and wait for the machine to respond.

That's what the customer wanted. Don't blame MS for doing what the user wants

How quickly people forget. As I recall, you were more likely back then to hear it described as having a "Fisher-Price UI" than "being the best OS ever by Micky".

What, you had to wait until Brexit to realise that the English are frugging idiots?

CTRL+SHIFT+T - reopens the last closed tab and switches to it.
Pressed it by accident - didn't realise Chrome was focussed - and thought "where did that come from?". Checked, and yes, that's what it does. Handy!
How often have you shut a tab by mistake and sworn?

ctrl-shift-T is indispensable. For an added bonus, it works in Firefox too

Huh?
firefox and it's offspring (Pale Moon) has always had "Historry->Recently Closed Tabs" with ctrl-shift-T set as the last closed tab (but if you've closed a bunch they're all in there).

It's been there for a while ... love it, can't live without it ... look at the Chrome history menu (from the 3 dot menu button) and the shortcut is shown...
[edit] here are some more for you... Google Chrome shortcut keys[^]

The only problem is that CTRL+SHIFT+T doubles as the "I give you permission to transmit every tiny personal detail about me that you can find on this computer to twenty-seven different google servers, from where it will be sold on to any wonderful and phenomenally trustworthy organisation who will pay us money for it" keyboard shortcut.
Mind you, the keyboard shortcuts "A", "B", "C", "D", etc. issue the same permissions.

Vivaldi is one less key: Ctrl + Z. Can't go wrong with the universal undo.

Really useful when you have to restart and you've got 11 open tabs - including this one - and haven't saved the URLs.
Restart. Start Chrome. One home-screen tab. CTRL+SHIFT+T. A new Chrome window opens with all 11 "lost" tabs open!
Love it!

Exists in Edge as well, as I just found out. I personally close a tab I am still interested in a couple times per week, but I never swear. Until now, I've been using the context menu to reopen it.

I thought you were gonna mention ALT+F4. It performs a better function with far greater purpose.

That only works in Edge.
