Like Chrome, needs more

In keeping with the title of this blog, just something I'm thinking about.

I've been using Google's Chrome for a few months, about since it came out in beta.  It's fast and good looking, but I've found that there are a few sites that I can't access correctly.  It's not a total replacement for Firefox, for me as of yet.

What I was pondering though is why does Chrome not tie in better with Google's other offerings.  Most notably Bookmarks and Notebook.  

Why does Chrome even have it's own bookmarks?  The two at the very least should be synced.

If I'm doing research on a subject and I want to save anything I find to my Google Noteback, an excellent tool for that job, I typically switch back to Firefox, which has a plugin for that function.  That should be something built right into Chrome.

Neither of these are a game ender for me.  I still have Chrome up and running for accessing Gmail and general web surfing, at least at work where I have to use Windows.  No OpenSolaris version yet, or probably in the near future for use at home, or a Mac version for the family computer.
