I agree with Hunnter2k3 - I should dearly love to have access to the features of the Google Toolbar on my Chrome browser, but a button which would «unroll» the Toolbar would be a nice solution and prevent Chrome's minimalistic GUI from becoming cluttered. I should, however, like to have the option to display my bookmarks and tags in a permanent sidebar on my Chrome screen, à la Delicious Bookmarks on Firefox. If these two features, plus certain add-ons like Adblock Plus and NoScript could be made available with Chrome, I fear that I should desert my beloved Firefox and go over to the new kid on the block....
