in other forums on other sites they say you can enable it i have posted same question on chrome forums and im waiting for reply i quite liked the feature of the aero safari and explorer uses it, firefox too but turned it off in there latest update of the browser.

Did you read this line?

"To re-enable in Chromium, just append --enable-aero-peek-tabs to your shortcut's target field."

Locate your Chrome or Chromium shortcut. There should be one on your desktop and one in your start menu - either one will work.
Right Click the shortcut and choose properties.
Find the target box (it will be highlighted when the properties screen appears).
Left click at the end of the line (after chrome.exe).
Press space.
Add your command line switch. The result looks like this:
C:\Users\Bill\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --enable-aero-peek-tabs

Instead of Bill, it will be your username of course.
