Google Chrome is still missing a Print Preview option, which is featured in IE/Firefox/Mozilla/Netscape/Safari/Opera browsers. Chrome version 1.0 was a big disappointment to me since it had a bunch of missing features but Chrome 2.0 beta has included some of them such as support for "Chrome Extensions" which are similar to the Firefox Add-ons. The google chrome extensions are in developmental stages and are not in final production yet. ouch!

Read the EULA, and avoid Chrome 'til that EULA is fixed. Recently, some tech writers kicked up a fuss about how Google Chrome's EULA gives Google the right to track your surfing habits, filter what you see, and so on. Quote: "Google reserves the right (but shall have no obligation) to pre-screen, review, flag, filter, modify, reuse or remove any or all content from our service". Google responded that this was just a repetition of the bog-standard EULA that the rest of their sotware carries, but calling something "standard" is not an adequate excuse. It's a euphemism for "we're screwing with the end users en masse, and we don't care about you." Care. And just say "Hell, NO!" to Big Brother. Chrome eyes are watching you.
