Google Chrome Is Out, But Look Whats Missing

Google just announced their new open source web browser, Chrome. So far, I'm lovin' it! By far the fastest browser out there and looks like it's out performing IE8 and FF3 in Acid3 test.  Dragging tabs works so well, especially dragging outside to make a new browser window, and you gotta love the icoginto mode.


Besides all the great features and clean interface, there still is a lot missing which hopely will be added in the next version:
  • No Extensions - one of the great features of FireFox and Opera is the extendability, sadly, Chrome currently does not support extensions
  • No Live Bookmarks - RSS support in Live Bookmarks has sort of become standard, strange this is missing from Chrome
  • No Social Bookmarking - I thought for sure Google Bookmarks would be baked into Chrome, but nope, all bookmarks are stored locally
  • No OSX Support - Windows only? Where's my OSX version?
