I hate the way bookmarks are handled
That is about my only complaint about Chrome.
They should put a link icon in the browser for bookmarks and not try to link everything to the home page.
If I want a different home page (which I do) or I am trying to research something, the bookmarks are either inaccessible or just too much of a pain to deal with.
That in my opinion was a really bad idea.
Did you see the option
Did you see the option (under the wrench) to always display your bookmarks?

google chrome (Don Safar)
A number of the websites that I use everyday in my work are unworkable in chrome. These include internal and external websites that work in IE and Firefox. I'll use it for certain sites (i.e. gmail) because I like the screen space it affords. But I'll continue to split my main work between IE and Firefox for the time being.
