My list of things keeping from Chrome is same as yours though I'd also add lack of google gears support. I don't understand how they have that for firefox but they don't have it from Chrome. In addition to this Chrome (on the mac) crashes quite frequently for me.

Because Google Gears is dead.

Client-side HTML5 databases have supplanted gears.

Fair enough - so how do I use google docs when I'm offline?

Alternatively, would you have suggestions on some other service that provides similar doc capability with html5 database?

Good question(s), I was just relaying the decision Google made:

Thanks...that makes total sense. I need to (sadly) give google gears the boot.

I don't understand how they are missing the Pagespeed plugin...Available for firefox, but not Chrome, their own browser.
