Last month my XP was much afflicted with an aggressive virus/trojan and I called in a professional Geek for repairs. He didn't cure the virus completely - it still redirects ordinary Google and Bing searches (but not Metacrawler) - but among the improvements he recommended was switching to Chrome because, evidently, it is more resistant to trojans (or at least most trojans are geared to screwing up Internet Explorer).

Chrome has some advantages but among my many whinings are:

(1) Installation of Chrome only imperfectly reproduced my IE8 Favorites, leaving many out, changing the names of most entries (I had included my passwords in the IE8 list, so I would have them right at hand), evidently eliminating repetitions of some websites that I had listed in multiple files.

(2) The Chrome display of favorites is very different and much more cumbersome than IE8, and I wouldn't mind an optional add-on that would give Chrome favorites the look-and-feel of IE8 favorites.

(3) Chrome lacks the Print Preview feature of IE8, which enables changes in size in order to made text more readable or compact. There is a feature that almost - but not quite - enables IE8-like printing but it has its own inconveniences.

(4) The internet commands available with IE8's Tools simply not available yet with Chrome.

Unfortunately, I get the impression that Google is paying more attention to other projects, there doesn't seem to have been much progress in Chrome improvements over the past few years.

That is most likely because Firefox is still the browser of choice by many more people and Chrome, beyond its initial splash, has been unable to carve out a very large niche. So, Google is not throwing excessive amounts of money and resources into a more or less failed project.

And then there is their involvement with NSA/CIA/Mossad. I would never use a Google product because I do not trust them.
