It's the simple things that keep me from switching to Google Chrome

In every major way, I find Chrome to be far superior to the public release version of Firefox. It's the minor things that get me:
  1. Bookmark Management. Firefox is simply far, far superior. Not only can I conveniently search through my bookmarks in the sidebar, I can much more importantly drag and drop links into folders on the toolbar and choose where they go (rather than have them always fall to the bottom). This is how I use bookmarks and until Chrome fixes that I don't see myself switching.
  2. RSS Support. True, extensions and bookmarklets can help with this problem, but Chrome's native inability to deal with RSS feeds at all really irks me.
  3. History. Chrome's history interface is a joke. Not only is it highly difficult to plow through, you cannot both search and delete simultaneously. So one foolishly browsed along embarrassing lines outside of Incognito mode, searching for that subject and deleting all history pertaining to it is not an option. The smallest of the three points, but still highly annoying.
