Here's a list of features supported by the latest Chrome and latest Opera http://caniuse.com/#compare=chrome+28,opera+12.1 http://caniuse.com/#compare=chrome+28,opera+12.1 There's a couple of things that Opera might be loosing in this update, with the switch to Blink. Hopefully anything the do loose they'll be able to port over soon.

The most annoying feature in Chrome to me is its inability to select text. Yes, you read that right, it is impossible to select text in Chrome. Instead, what you get is selected elements – divs, headlines and the like, which causes horrible breakage if you just want to select (and then copy) simple letters.

  Huh? I'm using chrome now and can easily select single letters, words or your whole comment. Care to elaborate? Windows 7 - Version 27.0.1453.94 m (which BTWI copied and pasted from Chromes about page)

    Selecting single words, letters etc. works fine, yes, but Chromium seems to tend to select whole elements rather than only the ‘visible’ text. There was a particular case recently where this annoyed me greatly, I will try to remember it as my memory currently appears to be blacked out. (Another annoying bit about Webkit in general: if you underline an element (such as a link) and then use sup inside this element, the underline is moved up under the superscript.)

    This is what claudius means (screenshots from the latest versions running on Ubuntu 13.04): Firefox: http://i.imgur.com/2yPmm0K.png http://i.imgur.com/2yPmm0K.png Chrome: http://i.imgur.com/EXz8wQF.png http://i.imgur.com/EXz8wQF.png FWIW, I have the not uncommon affliction of selecting text on articles and blog posts as I read along. Chrome's text selection "paradigm" is greatly annoying as it tends to be a little, uh, unpredictable on layouts with a middling level of complexity.

      Ahh yep, think I understand now. Thanks for the screenshots :) Edit: And now that you've pointed it out the way that chrome does it is really annoying!
