Firefox in Chrome's clothing

I am a fan of the look and feel of Google Chrome, but I found it didn't display some web pages properly, and I had problems with it caching images in mid-download so that the full image wouldn't display.  Anyway, I found that the following set of plug-ins makes Firefox look and feel pretty close to Chrome.

 
Addons:
Chromifox Theme
Hide Menubar (hides the menu bar until you press ALT)
Show Go (Always show the go button at the end of the address bar)

Fan and Dandy Mr. Dinn, but the best feature on Chrome was the Dashboard... in the new tab window.

That said, I'm back to Firefox until Chrome is displaying everything all standardly—and well, the plugin base for Firefox still owns!

Steve works as a software developer for a large software company in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. He runs Windows at home, but he's not above Open Source. He mainly writes code in C#, a touch of C/C++, and hints of woodiness and plum that taper off towards the back of the palate. The nose is a pleasant cherry with lingering strawberry notes.
