[chromium-discuss] Drop-down list for Address Bar on Chrome

[hanntd]

I'm excited with Chrome browser but one thing I think should have for
Chrome. As other browsers like Firefox, IE they have Address Bar is
shown as a drop-down list so user can easy access to the history sites
by clicking on address bar. Many users familiar with using this way.
That's the disadvantage prevent me using Chrome now.

Regards,
Han

We discussed this early on and decided this feature is too obscure and
little-used to be worth the extra UI and complexity. Although I'm sure
others have missed this feature, you're the first I've heard, so in
retrospect I think our view was probably correct. You can always hit
control-H to view the most recent sites.

There was a Recent History extension that worked ok (not as good as Firefox's default, but ok), but it has been removed (surprisingly, it is still on one computer, but I can't install on any others.

For me, that is 99% of the functionality I need for a browser.  I honestly cannot fathom how Chrome could lack such a basic feature.

Please advise.  I want ot like chrome, but if I can't get to the sites I visit daily easily, what's the point?  Again, I cannot comprehend how such a basic feature is gone.

I guess it's back to Firefox and maybe even IE,  I hear it's made a lot of progress.
