No buttons for printing/cutting/clipping or anything!!!
It was faster than IE though.
Un-installed it and returned to IE7, hopefully I didn't screw up IE7.
IE7 ?? IE7 ???? please, say it isn't so !!!! install firefox3 !!! it's sooooo much better. IE is the work of the devil. take it from me. or any number of people. seriously. every time you use IE, you make a webdesigner cry.

you are right about chrome. definitely has a ways to go. it does have some nice features though. i love that you can drag any tab out of the window and it becomes a new window. or you can drag it into a different window. excellent for keeping things organised. i also love that any text-box is resizeable without having to use some kind of hack, or click on anything. you just drag the corner. and it's pretty fast. and i like the searchbar feature ; very useful. especially the "hit tab to search on this site" if you type in wikipedia or similar, so you can load your search directly. i like how it searches for matching keywords among your bookmarks / history / google results when you start typing in the address bar.

i do not like the fact that from time to time (far too often) it crashes, and there is no session restore (arg !! all those tabs i was saving !). i do not like the fact that as you say, i haven't found a way to install the plugins (flash, etc.). i do not like the fact that you can really easily close an whole window of tabs (no prompt to confirm) or accidentally close a different tab than the one you're in / you intended to if you get a little careless with the mouse (or your cat bumps your hand while you're clicking).

What am I going to do?

Go out and buy a pair of suspenders, if anyone sells them anymore.
My pants keep falling down, and yes I have heard of a belt.
i like suspenders. let us know if you find some.
