Story: Why a Firefox fan became a Chrome convert

Quick, looks nice, terrible bookmark management

Bookmarks become more and more important - certainly for me, and I suspect for many people - and yet browsers get worse and worse at handling them. Do developers live on another planet, where there are only 3 web sites? To pick just a couple of issues, Firefox 2 allowed separators to be labelled; FF3 has separators, but they can't be labelled; Chrome doesn't have them at all. FF never could cope with ampersands, but at least it's ok with apostrophes; Chrome can't even handle them. I can arrange bookmarks as I want in both FF and Chrome, but as soon as I drop one I've moved in Chrome the bookmarks fly-out vanishes and I have to navigate back to the folder to move another. And I'm entirely with Stephen in his annoyance at Chrome's failure to recognise colour profiles. Bottom line: speed and a pretty interface aren't enough, and I'm sticking with Firefox for now
