Comments on: 10 things we'd like to see in Chrome

Google's Chrome is pretty good, but it could be a whole lot better. We've rounded up 10 fairly extensive ways to tweak it to make it an all-around better browser.

I don't think they're going to break down one of the main features of Chrome separating the URL box from the search box.

Google should definitely make a USB version of Chrome much like Opera USB. They should also add a synchronization feature like Opera. Chrome seems to be a lot faster than Opera 9.52.

Hey! I agree with some of these, some of them are just "extra fluff" that I can live without.

One thing I noticed though, is you can easily put a tab back into a window. Once you drag a page out, click the TAB part (and not the blue part) and drag it into the tab bar of the previous window. Hope this helps someone out :) Great article, I am currently using Google Chrome and lovin' it!

Google is a government agency black ops unit, collecting more data on us than even our mothers, spouses, ex's, or even our 'Permanent Record' even knows... Lol...

I agree...Google is just Homeland Security in disguise ! Chrome ??? No thanks , it`s SO tarnished already.

What about the menu bar above the tabs? What about the home button by default? What about "Only allow the site I visit" in cookie settings? What about... the list goes on....

I would like to see a way to remove individual items from the history instead of just whole days.

Better scaling, Ctrl+ needs improvement, no comparison Firefox has it beat to a pulp. I would like to use Chrome but I use my HD Television as my monitor and the scaling in Firefox works really good. I can't use Chrome without better scaling. Not everyone uses a 20 inch vga monitor.

The only thing I want to see is the zoom function to function like Firefox, where it will zoom the entire page as opposed to just increasing the font size. Otherwise, I think Chrome is doing a fine job.

7. A way to drag "applications" back into the main browser. ** This actually works in Chrome - you just need to drag the application back in by the tab NOT the window. Go try it again and I bet you will find it works.

yeah chrome is fast but thats it. Chrome's book mark system sucks, on default homepage or printing icon ***? Along with Chrome's inablity to save and apply any universal font type/size preferences. Honestly I give the current verison c- to d grade. Very half bake at best, a real disappointment.

I'm sure someone will say "go Linux" or "Upgrade to XP or Vista" but I am still using Windows 2K and there is no Windows 2K version of Chrome. But Firefox works great on Windows 2K.

Nothing wrong with that...Security expert Steve Gibson still uses Win2000 and swears by it. Chrome looks like it was made for a fourth-grader.

It is nice program and easy to use . I think if can Google increase download speed from sit through this Google Chrome it will be the best.

[terminalblue]

google chrome is the Ed Nader of Browsers. all it does is take share away from Firefox and doesnt offer anything new.

[tehooper]

Is Ed Ralph's brother?

I am using Chrome right now. I like it its sleekness and its speed is good. There are a few sites that do not load to well and a couple of glitches that have forced me to restart Chrome. What I miss the most is the Google toolbar. I like the forms filler and the highlighter. Maybe Google could put a mini sidebar on to Chrome that had the toolbar. This would keep the Chrome off of the top. Chrome needs a Chrome cleaner and a log in button. This would be a cool feature. Kind of like the Roboform toolbar without the toolbar. Just a button that remembers about twenty log in userIDs and passwords. I had to manually key in this login info to leave this comment. Just a little Chrome polish is all it needs. As far as the visual effects, my Tweak VI settings have carried over to Chrome. Maybe a built in download manager. Let me go try a download. I have downloaded anything with Chrome.

Google is a company who's entire business is based around ad revenue. What makes you think they are going to make it easy to block ads and pop-ups? Until a full featured ad-blocker is in place like it is in FireFox, then I'll stay where I'm at.

[AppleSuxLeo]

Well said. I use FF just for the add-ons like FlashBlock. Google isn`t going to allow that. That is their revenue. FF is beholden to no one.

HEY,GOOGLE CHROME IS BETTER,SIMPLE FEATURES BUT FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[harchan]

How about using programs for password management like Roboform etc

[madsere]

5. A full-screen mode.

Check out "Create Applicaton Shortcut" - it is the ultimate full-screen mode!

[bc173]

What about the most basic features like a master password? I'm not using Chrome as my main browser at this moment because I refuse to import all my passwords without the ability to set a master password.

[AcrosticGroove]

Just some thoughts:
I don't like it when the browser closes when the final tab goes... That just forces me to reopen 10 web pages when I start-which would not have happened if I could set all those as my home pages!

And then maybe they should add compatibility to something like Rocketdock... It seems that clicking the button will restart the program, thinking that the running window is not responding...
