My only beef with Chrome is the lack of application-specific proxying.
With FireFox, I can set the proxy to be different than the system
one. With chrome, I can't. Sure, foxyproxy exists for Chrome, but it
switches the bloody system proxy on demand (imagine what else that may
blow up).
Otherwise, I use chrome for 99.95% of my activity. And the other 3
browsers that I use are only for browser-specific bugs that come up...
