A bit too simple if you ask me; to the point of making it difficult to access basic info. I still can't find the system info (manufacturer, CPU, speed, RAM, OS, etc).

I'm not sure what you mean by menu bar, but you pin things to the black launcher that by default is along the bottom by dragging them from the apps tray which pops up when you hit the Search key, or by right-clicking on them in the apps tray and choosing Pin To Launcher.
In Windows, the menu bar contained file, edit, view, history, etc in drop down tabs across the top of the screen. I realize some of this info is available in the menu tab in the upper right, but it requires an extra step to access.

As APK says, storage left is on a Chrome flag:

chrome://quota-internals

but it's also now available from the Files app, by clicking on the gear icon on the toolbar, though this seems to show slightly less space.
I've already discovered some of these, but was hoping for something better. Obviously that's not going to happen. So now I'm in the process of bookmarking these various urls so I can readily access them when needed.

Don't get me wrong, because I really appreciate the help. Like I said, I was really hoping for better solutions than what I've already discovered.

What's really driving me crazy is the missing delete key. I keep reaching for it and hit the power button instead.
