I really like Chrome and use it when developing just for webkit inspector but I can't switch to it for regular browsing as I still feel like Chrome can't match the browsing experience of FF. For example:
Tab Management
In firefox I can much more easily have dozens of tags without them all becoming squished. Instead I get scroll bars and a drop down menu.
With tab mix plus, tabs which I haven't read yet are highlighted.
I also have a close tabs to the left option in the context menu (which I really love).
Adverts
Adblock in firefox seems to be much more stable than the chrome alternative and just does a better job generally of blocking adverts. (This one might be solved by the likes of privoxy but then I lose the tight integration with the browser.)
Password Management
I'm a regular user of last pass but in chrome it can't integrate with the http auth dialog which means I'm forced to open up my vault and copy and paste my credential manually which is a huge hassle.
I really like Chrome and I'd love to use it all the time but these things (and a few others) prevent me from doing so. Does anyone know if there are any chrome extensions which address these issues?
