This is the main reason why I don't use Chrome. Its okay being fast but not at the expense of usability and I use RSS feeds a lot. You mention the manner in which IE uses RSS feeds, but doesn't Firefox and therefore Flock the browser I use also do that as well? I have never needed to use an 'outside' feed reader in those browsers either. ???

Yeh, I don't mind the fact that it is lacking RSS. I often use it to analyze web pages... In some ways, it does a better job than Firefox's Firebug. And yes, I do love its speed. But it will never be a primary browser for me.

Thanks, but that setting is on. It does not seem to work. Thanks for the tip though :)

I donâ€™t know whatâ€™s surprising about the move from beta without many features. Thatâ€™s what you are going to see in the iPhone era. Release something as soon as itâ€™s got just enough, then every time you add any feature, itâ€™s a big deal.

Not that minimalism is a bad thing. Being featureâ€“rich doesnâ€™t mean the thing works correctly (or well, e.g. Internet Explorer). It just means that features will continue to creep in, rather than be there all along.

This is a communityâ€“driven software, so I expect there to be steady improvement of the feature set. Heck, considering the shotgun spray that is browser standards, Iâ€™m surprised any browser is considered anything but beta.

DC Crowley - For the search feature in the url bar to work, follow the steps: Go to the options menu, go to the "Under the Hood" tab and click the check-box which says "Use a suggestion service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar".

Weird! That is one feature I really want to see in Chrome. I have 1.0, but that feature is not showing up at all
