Pretty good, but: "I wish Chrome was a better browser" John can you elaborate on this?

I use a ton of tabs in my browser, in Firefox the tabs go off to the side and allow me to scroll through them (while still allowing me to read the title) whereas Chrome squishes the tabs into tiny micro-sized pills that are completely unreadable.
Additionally I use App Tabs in both browsers - but only in Firefox does it highlight when I've received an update (such as a message in Hip Chat or an email in Gmail).
The lack of integrated extensions in Chrome makes for a weaker overall experience. I use PasswordMaker to manage my passwords - works great in Firefox, can enter passwords into any field, but in Chrome it frequently doesn't detect a password field - and since it doesn't have context menu access I can't fill in my password. I end up having to open up Firefox just to get to my password.
So yeah, I still use Firefox for daily browsing, and Chrome for dev.

> The lack of integrated extensions in Chrome Could you elaborate on this -- do you mean that the permissions available to Chrome extensions are limited?
So yeah, strike the last item from my list - I blame it solely on PasswordMaker.
I thought the most interesting part was his wish list at the end. "I wish my MacBook had built-in 3G capabilities, I wish it was easier to type on my iPad, I wish Chrome was a better browser, I wish SABnzbd+ was smart enough to not re-download files, I wish my iPhone was faster, I wish I didn’t need a dongle to do a presentation with my MacBook, I wish Boxee didn’t crash so much, I wish my car accepted audio input, I…
Short version: Apple! Apple! Apple!
I'm working on a infographic, or something along those lines, that shows a breakdown of what it used on UsesThis, but the pie charts are going to mostly be Apple flavored.
