I’m using Opera, so Firefox and IE are not exactly gold standards of nonugliness to me. The biggest contributor to me finding Chrome ugly is certainly that the tab bar is placed on the top rather than the left (and me being too lazy to search for an appropriate extension to change that).

I see, yeah this is probably nice, I know many people who abuse the tab-feature, because they don't like the bookmarks. (Never had a problem with it, but most people seem to think the bookmarks are "broken") I like Chrome over FFox and IE BECAUSE of the top-tabs. Firefox needs more vertical space and Internet Explorer just cripples them beneath the address bar :\

  Oh, don’t get me wrong, of course tabs belong above the address bar (I think recent browsers get this right). Even better though is putting the tab bar on the right where it doesn’t eat precious vertical space.

  For me, bookmarks are a hole where content goes to die. Beyond about 5 of them which will get used more or less daily, I'm more likely to just search for content again than to think to check my bookmarks. Unfortunately this usually leads to 100-200 open tabs at any given time of things that are either "in-queue" for reading or research/reference for what I'm currently working on. I'm not going to claim it's the best system (or even a good one), but you really do get used to it and it works pretty well.

    I know what you mean, I only use a few bookmarks in the bookmarks-bar (sorted in folders) and the rest is lost... So you saying, the fact that you have about 100-200 open tabs is not because you need them (...just search for content again...), but you just don't close them when not needed anymore?

      Many of them you could probably say at some level that I "need them", in that it'd be faster to find the tab among the open ones then to find the content again. Usually they end up clustered into groups around particular topics. For example "all of the man pages for the BSD socket API" and "all of the RFCs for the protocol I'm implementing".
