Well, there's one little problem with that. Someone told me that Chrome pushes browsing history back to Google, which, if true, makes sense. But unless there's a way for a company or government entity to turn that off, which there may be, I can see Chrome remaining unsupported there for security reasons. For the average person, it's probably nothing significantly more nefarious than the average tracking cookie, but some security folks are bound to see a problem if that history contained information about secure sites.
