Some things Chrome includes that other browsers do not: Pepper, Native Client, Chrome Web Store, WebSQL (Safari might have that one too), a native PDF viewer, SwiftShader, etc.

(People of course disagree on which of those are bad and which are good.)

Isn't WebSQL supposed to be replaced by IndexedDB?(which FF has btw)
Yes. Google hasn't removed it yet though (apparently some Google properties use it, so there is a conflict of interest here with web standards).
Of course, web standards don't oblige browsers to not have features that aren't in the standard (it would be a harsh world if they did!).

Ah, I forgot that, thanks!
Don't forget Dart!
It's only in the Dartium branch so far, I believe - not in trunk Chromium or release Chrome. But yes, it's another controversial feature that Google is planning to bundle.
Isn't the native PDF viewer to protect windows users from themselves
