One advantage that wasn't mentioned is the ability to send a tab between devices.

I'm looking at something on my desktop, have to go somewhere, so I just send the tabs to my phone and continue consuming. If I forget to do so, I can also use the url bar to search through common history, so that I could enter a few words from the title and go back to that article.

That being said, I personally wouldn't trust Google to do this, so I use Firefox that I believe encrypts data client-side by default.

Your use of the word "consuming" definitely solidified the idea that I'm all set without these features, I don't miss them that much.
