To prevent lawsuits alleging anti-competitive behavior, many of these software companies will go out of their way to accommodate competitors in this way. Microsoft spent a shit-ton of money because they made IE the default browser.

It's easier to google google scholar that it is to drill down the menu. Indeed, the new google menu is nothing other than a 3x3 matrix of squares, and if you roll your mouse over it, it tells you it's apps, and I don't find any of that intuitive.

On some level, I think google has taken the whole "clean interface" thing way too far. it's partly why I don't use chrome often. I like a I also find the new google maps with the huge box in the upper left corner annoying. I'm old and cranky.

I used to bookmark stuff all the time until I realized I never used them after adding them. Now I just leave like 20 windows and tabs open all the time. Toolbar is a different story.

I have a few, specifically online calculators or charts with weird urls to autocomplete

e.g.) http://www.awc.org/calculators/span/cal ... cstyle.asp

Also have a folder of webcomic links

I don't have any bookmarks or toolbars. The toolbar just means more scrolling. And I figure Google can find what I'm looking for faster than I can drill down into Chrome's menus and find a bookmark.

the bookmarks toolbar is like a quarter of an inch. doesn't really affect scrolling too much

i have tons and tons of bookmarks, i guess thats a habit i've carried over from the original internetting days of my youth. all the main stuff is on the toolbar and everything i would need is pretty accessible though from the drop down menu, but i have some stuff stored in folders upon folders for reference. it will all be useful someday

that's how i feel.

also a pro tip for those that don't do this. You can make it so that your toolbar bookmarks are just the web site logo. lets you add ton more
