How can Google's own browser not work for it's websites?
all I need is to figure out how to bookmark a page... and importing bookmarks didn't work for me :(

Something i don't like: On my laptop's touch pad i have a little strip i can slide my finger down to scroll up and down pages. It doesn't work in Chrome! Seeing as how most of the time i use my pad rather than a mouse, this needs to be fixed
Lastly, are there apps for chrome like in firefox? I'd like to have gmail checker
