I doubt it. I can't even download files from SourceForge using IE8! (And that's the best they have to offer!)
I only ever use IE to download another browser. :lol:

Chrome's is 'Omnibox'. :)) You just type your keywords into the address bar, and it searches for you - what more do you want?
Chrome's search is the best!The separate ones keep your keyword in the search. :| (And who want's to search with Bing? :( )
The only trouble with Chrome is the bookmark bar is hidden when you first start it up, but that is easily fixed. :D

I have used the same FF "profile" for soo long i barely have to type a word in the awesomebar to get to a commninly visited site.
Plus, i can just "add a keyword" for searches so i can type "g(oogle) <foobar>" "addon <xyz>", etc

IE9 is better security wise than Safari.

I use Neat Bookmarks. One of my few complaints is lack of a bookmarks sidebar - that was one thing IE (and then FF) had right. I'm not alone, of course.

Another thing is that extensions can't change the way the browser works - unlike Firefox Add-ons.

The Chrome Team is working on Tab Management for Chrome, to compete with Firefox's Panorama (which I like, although the inability to pin them is annoying).

A complaint for Firefox: A Private Browsing Mode Window should be able to function alongside a Normal Window, like in Chrome.

Hmmm... Looks like there's an add-on to fix this. But it really should be integrated into the browser. I'll file a bug later.

EDIT: I did, and it was one of the 10+ duplicates of this. :)

It looks like some people agree with you about Chrome. Try SRWare Iron. It deals with many of the sercurity issues, but still has Chrome's fatastic look + features. (It is based on the open-source Chrominim.)

Chrome vs Iron
