OS X Chrome – One Great Yet Annoying Browser
I have been using Chrome of Mac OS X since it was released few months ago. I love the light weight speedy browser but I’m just really annoyed by the lack of major features that I have accustomed to when using Safari or Firefox.
1. Having a dedicated search field would be nice, currently all searches are executed through the address bar, which is okay but at times I would like to know the last search term I typed without having to dig it out of history.
2. It would be nice to be able to have bookmarks and history entries displayed as a sidebar for quick reference.
3. Lack of integration with major email applications allowing users to easily email a link or the content of a web page on the fly.
I understand that it is still a beta, nevertheless, my wish list is also missing from the non-beta version running on Windows.
I feel it is time to unset Chrome from being my default browser and replace it with Safari. Firefox is just too slow and bulky running on OS X.
