I had just moved to Chrome when...
I found the (mostly) stable version of Firefox 4 available for Ubuntu (excepting the official version with its hideous text display). Phew. Chrome's awesome-fast, but the bookmark interface sucks. And when I say sucks, I mean it is horrible. Netscape Communicator 4.06, released in August 1998, has an infinitely better interface (I have it running under Wine right now). Chrome a) won't let you drag the page your on onto the bookmark bar folder and open said folder to drop it anywhere you want in the folder. This is something I do all the time, as I like to have new Notable bookmarks at the top rather than the bottom. More than that, there is no way to make a bookmark below the top level (which includes all top-level bookmark bar folders, to be fair) without deleting any copies of said bookmark that might be hanging around. This means that if I want more than one copy of a bookmark, I have to open the damned bookmark manager. There's no keyboard shortcut to do that, which there was in Netscape 4.06 in 1998 and ever since, and the bookmark manager doesn't even support drag and drop copying. You have to copy and paste.
