I use FF for virtually everything, FF4 came with a Chrome “lookalike” interface, essentially bald and an IE 8 look. But with the ability to move things around, I was able to recreate what I prefer to see up top, my File Edit menu’s and address bar at the bottom. But what I find so confounding about Chrome is that the customization features are so sparce, I can’t really seem to customize anything I actually care about. Has anyone found a way to put a File Edit menu toolbar on the browser itself? Are there better customizing tools out there than that silly little cogged wheel that is really not much help at all in terms of changing the look and feel of the browser? There are things I like about it and I might use it more were I able to have it “my way”. Ideas, suggestions appreciated. :^) gene
