But that's true in any browser, no?
"..and you can’t read the title of the tab you’re on."
This part is true. I love how my firefox looks lately: https://profiles.google.com/u/0/akkartik#1104401391899068610.... I think it's taken all the good stuff of chrome's tab bar without the bad.

I see your point about #3, but to be honest, I've been using Chrome since v1 and I have never once had this be an issue. Not a single time. There is simply never a case where what I'm searching for is in the very top right 10 pixels of a page. In your github example, why would you ever be searching for "dashboard", "inbox", "account settings", or "log out"? Also I don't really understand your complaint about the book…

In your github example, why would you ever be searching for "dashboard", "inbox", "account settings", or "log out"? I think jtaby made it very clear that he wasn't referring to cases where it covers search results, but that it covers the website's UI. In fact, those were his exact words.

I'm sure it's a big deal for you, but surely you understand that this is a feature that only 0.5% of the population cares about. Most people are happy to watch 4:3 television stretched to fit their wide screen TVs and you can't believe that Google hasn't implemented color profiles?
Considering this has been standard is every single browser, major and minor, and Google is the sole standout... yes. And color profiles aren't some obscure thing that only graphics people care about - there are a lot of photos online right now where people look like zombies (or tomatoes) because the embedded profile isn't being accounted for. If you Google for it, there are plenty of complaints from non-techy people…
I think the title bar issue is actually more of a window manager issue: I always use Alt+mouse movement[1] which has the added benefit that I don't have to move the pointer over to a special dragging area. I realize this is more of a Unix thing and not necessarily available on OSX. Same goes for resizing in Awesome WM, which is well... awesome: WM key[2] + right mouse button + mouse move to resize. Written down it lo…
I bought a Macbook a month ago, and window management being more cumbersome there when compared to properly-configured window managers from the rest of the world of Unix clones is pretty surprising and the third most annoying thing to me about my Macbook experience. (Where the second most annoying thing is the ~half second delay between lifting my finger from the touchpad and the actual release during a drag operation, and the first most is the lack of an equivalent for middle clicks.)
Favicons: This is by far my favorite feature of modern browsers, and I in no way apologize for loving them. They make bookmarks actually useful for sites you visit regularly. Take a look at my bookmark bar: [1] The favicons allow me to fit all of the links I visit regularly in one easily accessible, compact place. I don't care if they look "tacky", they're incredibly useful. [1] http://min.us/l5aGM

The tools UI also does not have issues like broken gradient or draggability

"..if you have a lot of tabs open, you end up having to hunt for the tab you want.." But that's true in any browser, no? "..and you can’t read the title of the tab you’re on." This part is true. I love how my firefox looks lately: https://profiles.google.com/u/0/akkartik#1104401391899068610... . I think it's taken all the good stuff of chrome's tab bar without the bad.
Safari will not lower the width of a tab under a preset size, the rest is moved off-bar. You can always see at least half a dozen characters of the title.
