Top five reasons why I don't use Chrome

As an opensource enthusiast, I love the Chromium project but there are things that keep me away from using Chromium-based web browsers for everyday browsing needs.

Reason #0: Font rendering is ugly
Google Chrome and Chromium (or Chrome for short) do not respect the desktop environment settings for font rendering. They use their own wrapping of freetype to produce a bad kerning and anti-aliasing result. This is not a problem of Webkit since other browsers including Midori do a very good job while using the same core as Chrome.

Google, don't tell me that I do not need to read texts when browsing the web.

Reason #1: Stupid cropping of titles in the tab bar
Chrome failed to render itself as a browser with excellent usability as claimed. By default, Chrome shows the page titles only in the tab for each page. The page titles seem to be always cropped and it's getting really hard for me to read the page title.

Google as a search giant knows very well how important a page title is but with Chrome they imply that "It's not any important, dude. Trust me. You don't want to read it."

Reason #2: No built-in tree-based XML view
I'm a programmer and it's my everyday need to inspect XML resources. Chrome claimed to be a developer-friendly browser but viewing XML files with it is funny.

Reason #3: I hardly see to where a bottom-left link points
For many cases, hovering over a link located a the bottom-left corner of the browser window hides the status bar which is displaying the target URL. This forces me to make a scroll-up to see the link location.

Reason #4: It should be named Chrashium
Yes, it crashes frequently on my desktop regardless it is a Google official build or a Chromium build.
