Comment #3 on issue 7699 by [email protected]: make the list of 'most  
visited' (?) sites accessible in omnibox with "mouse only"
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=7699

pkasting is correct about the dropdown - some people like it, but it's a  
little
mysterious and few people can describe what it actually does. The New Tab  
Page is
designed to satisfy these mouse-driven navigation use-cases.

Most-Visited navigation in the current tab is something we explicitly  
avoided in
favor of tabs and having a single obvious way of doing things. If a user  
really wants
it, he or she can enable the home button, which can open the New Tab Page  
in the
current tab.

I realize that many of our design decisions clash across cultures, but  
we're not yet
attempting to satisfy every possible use-case, as that would lead to  
satisfies-no-one
UI proliferation. The extension system (which at this point is a magical  
panacea) may
be a good outlet for these regional frustrations - we could offer different  
default
extension packs (UI customizations) for users in different countries.
