Google Chrome has two serious deficiencies. i) The step size for ZOOM function from the Tools icon (spanner) is too gross. So when it is used the web page spills over the display area very fast – typically within two clicks on the ZOOM menu – or is too small for users with visual defects like me, to comfortably read the page. ii) There seems to be no way to adjust the background and text colors in the web page directly from the Tools icon. The default white background is too irritating to the eyes of persons with visual defects like me. Adjusting the Window color scheme doesn’t help either, as Chrome defaults to its own color scheme always. The only alternative is to reduce the display brightness, in which case the details of images are not seen clearly and hence the same is not a viable option.
Both the above deficiencies are excellently handled in your competitor Mozilla Firefox through the add-on “No-Squint” . Why can’t the great brains working for Google come up with a scheme – either an add-on or a built in feature – to alleviate these deficiencies, without infringing IPRs? Such a step would make persons like me to completely switch over to Chrome, as the lack of the above mentioned features, makes me stick to Firefox, even though the latter is slower and memory goggling.

You should also checkout the FlashPlus Extension. You can resize, move and maximize Flash – Games, Videos, etc to full browser. A demo on youtube – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CHktLVF0yM

Is there an extension that automatically fills out common fields in forms for you? I think they have that for Firefox and I’d love to have that on Chrome too.

I like the smooth scrolling one.
It does look smoother, but a little weird at first with two-finger scrolling on my netbook.
