I haven't had it for long, but the implementation and integration of everything works incredibly well.
that's really all I have to say.

Do yourself a favor and get Opera.

Personally my only advantages in using opera are;Quote:

Soon as chrome can do those without an extension or having to write it myself, I'll probably ditch opera.
I don't get what you mean about opening bookmarks with keywords - chrome can do the same. if I bookmarked this site, or even visited it often, I could just type out "sou-", and then I would get an instant suggestion of going here.Quote:

No, I type in "daily" and it opens seven bookmarks.Quote:

Nothing to do with the name. You can actually name and group entire chunks of bookmarks.
Reopening a closed tab is a pain in the ass when you can just not accidentally close it in the first place.
"Pinned" tabs also only take up their icon's worth of space in your tab-bar, leaving more space for other 'temporary' windows so you can see what they are. This is helpful for me since I have at a minimum 4 pinned windows at all time on my primary browser window.
ooooh, I see. that sounds really nice, but it doesn't seem essential to my browsing. :pQuote:

Keyword bookmarking sounds really nice.
Doesn't stop them from being closed though, whereas it does in Opera.Quote:

I actually tried pinning - you can't close them without right clicking.Quote:

Close tabs to the right will save a pinned tab in Chrome, but in Opera my pinned tabs don't have to be to the right
Actually looks like the "close other" leaves behind pinned tabs now in Chrome, so that may be moot, except for being able to organize pinned tabs wherever one wanted.
