I would have expected something like Firefox.

 VS  

So far Google Chrome seems to be pretty stable and is working well. I like few sleek implementation and found some articles that document the 10 things we’d like to see in Chrome….

1. Profile roaming between multiple browsers. Profiles cannot be shared between multiple browsers

2. Better bookmark management. Not so good in Bookmark management. Firefox users would definitely stick to the former as Chrome is at a very basic level and it seems like Google has no plans to integrate with delicious. Havent actually heard about it.

3. Plug-ins. Google has acknowledged that plug-ins are on the road map, which is a good thing. Here’s how the search giant can totally one-up Mozilla, though: let me install and make changes to extensions without having to restart the browser. Nothing is worse than having 30 tabs open and having to restart, even if it remembers what I had open before. This reminds me…

4. Saved sessions/warning messages when closing multiple tabs. Firefox’s little warning for when you’re closing a group of tabs was a huge lifesaver in version two. Firefox 3 brought with it a way to save that grouping of open tabs for later. Chrome has neither of these features. Accidentally closing your browser with a slew of tabs open means they’re gone for good. Chrome is nice enough to tell you some of the most recently closed tabs back on its special start page, but that’s it.

This feature in Firefox has saved this author many hours of hardship over the years. Sadly, it’s missing from Google’s Chrome.

5. A full-screen mode. I love the minimalism of Chrome, but sometimes I just want those extra 60-90 vertical pixels back. Give me a keyboard shortcut for this too, and I’ll be in screen hog heaven.

6. A more customizable interface. The blue is neat, but getting that great deep purple found in incognito mode is enough of a tease to make me want to change the way it looks based on how I’m feeling. Plus, you’ve taken away the nice special Windows-theme coloring I had when you got rid of the top of the application, so let me choose how I want it to look. Bonus points for a tie-dye mode or something that changes depending on what time of day it is–like your personalized homepage service iGoogle.

Dragging tabs in and out of windows is really cool. Trying to do this with sites you’ve designated as applications does not work though.

7. A way to drag “applications” back into the main browser. The option to turn a certain site into a self-contained browser window with a stripped-down interface is great. However, the inability to drag it back into an open Chrome browser window is maddening when you’re trying to re-open some real estate on the task bar. You can do this with existing tabs and windows, and it works great.

8. A Mac/Linux version. The lack of a Mac client has left the growing percentage of Mac users in a bit of a tizzy. Worse yet, based on Google’s track record with some of its other cross-platform software offerings like Google Earth and Google Desktop search, the Mac has fared a little worse with slower release schedules and less features than its PC siblings. Hopefully new features will be rolled out to all the platforms at about the same time.

9. A pop-up blocker that blocks. Clearly Google is trying to shake things up with a pop-up blocker that really should be called a “pop-up relocator,” since it not only lets them open but also load. Frankly, this drives me nuts since I have to close them down to get them off the screen. Also if it’s really important and something I meant to click, I have to go drag it off from the bottom of the screen.

10. A regular old search box. Yes progress is good and the “omnibar” does a pretty slam-dunk job of getting new searches going, but let’s get some of the ambiguity away from that thing and have an option to leave it for URLs only. Also, a separate search box would let me pick from the other multitude of search providers in addition to Google without compromising my screen real estate.
