Using it, meh.

Doesn't allow middle-mouse-button click+drag scrolling, didn't ask where I wanted it to download or install either.

Gonna keep using Firefox, I can deal with slightly slower load times.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

The speed in which this browser thing is is loading pages is making me dizzy.

I love the home page and the fact I can see my top 6 sites visited in picture form.

Oh and you can set Chrome to open up as many sites as you want the moment you load it up!  No more opening up the 2-4 different forums I keep up all the time.  Load program, boom done.  Though I may be dumb and not realize other browsers do this.  But oh well.

Javascript runs wicked fast:

I have stuff crunching in the background, so it's doing well even with that. Tested here:   http://dromaeo.com/

Opera has something like that (I'm on my Mac right now so I can't try Chrome out). Firefox 3 does too, in theory, but it's kind of crappy.

Doesn't IE7 allow for multiple home pages?

How do I do some serious editing of my bookmarks?  Bloody thing imported from the wrong browsers and I want to either get a folder view to add and purge, cut-n-paste, or... anything?  It's also annoying to need to move dozens of book marks from a lower level folder to a higher one.  I'm missing something, right?

Hahahaha!  I'm really good at this!

Been using it for 5 minutes and it is already pretty awesome. I really wish it had middle-click-and-drag though.

Or click the rotate arrow. I'm surprised anybody right-click/refreshes. Crazy.

I prefer the minimal context menu in Chrome to anything of the other browsers.

Doubt it.  Do not count out Big-G's ability track you.  They need to know.

The minimal interface and speed is nice.  I hate having even less control over options than Firefox though.  Hide it until I ask for it.

I want tabs opened from links to come to the front, not open in a window out of focus.  When I look at the properties of a picture, I want the damn properties of it, not its irrelavent container.

Got bookmarks by a yucky roundabout way.

Nice, but not there yet.

Hahahaha!  I'm really good at this!

It needs a keyboard shortcut to open a link in an incognito window and make it so I can open bookmarks with it. There's not even an option to open an incognito by right-clicking a bookmark like there is with links.

Yes, I want to open a bookmark in super-sekrit mode easily. No one needs to know how much of my day is idly spent looking at porn. Hence the not having to enter a user/pass every time.

I can understand you wanting to have it remember passwords in incognito mode, that /is/ rather annoying.

But you want to click a bookmark...in secret?
What's the point of secret mode if the bookmark is right up there on the bar?

You might have something bookmarked or linked from another site (Fark?) and not want to have it keep cookies/crap on your machine, not just keep it out of browser history.

I can't hit F5 with my mouse. I'm not complaining that I can't refresh, I'm complaining that I can't do it in the way I prefer. And yes, I could move the mouse up to click the button, but I prefer it the other way. I'm lazy.

Don't be so picky! Nah, I agree, just like you can't click the mousescroll and scroll as I always do, so this is the only reason I'm not using it right now. And that tabs are on top of the screen instead of below bookmarks.

Yes. I don't care if the bookmark is there but I don't want someone looking at my history and thinking (knowing) that I spend eight hours a day there. It makes me look crazy. CRAZY. MY NEEDS MAKE SENSE IN MY WORLD.

Plus on a 24 inch screen that refresh button is way far out of the way!

I notice that most of the objections I have to it are related to message board use.

Right-click refresh, I only use for seeing if new posts are up.
Middle-click scroll, I use to get down to the bottom of a message board thread quickly.
Right-click image properties, I use primarily for cut and pasting direct image links into message board posts.

Etc.

I think maybe this is just something the Google people didn't spend a lot of time on yet (although you'd think with their referencing of /. in the little comic book they might be aware of the need for those kinds of tools.)

I think the CTRL+SHIFT+N feature was specifically designed for the purpose of porn.
