TEXT: A Speedier Google Chrome for all users

Google doesn't like versions (Gmail is still beta) so they're not making a big deal of upgrading the browser from Chrome 1 to Chrome 2. The upgrades seem trivial: Improved Tab Page? Please, I hardly use that. Full Screen Mode and Form Autofill? Umm, features that most browsers already have? The upgrades in speed and stability are less sexy but more important. I noticed right away that Chrome can finally play Youtube.

However Chrome still needs just three things:

Extensions. AdBlock, Firebug, Tree Style Tabs, and Gestures at the very least.
Google Toolbar. Why can't Chrome install this common Google product? At the very least have the option to use Google Bookmarks over the browser's bookmarks.
Linux version. Not for me but it should be done.

People like me are eager to switch because as much as we love Firefox, it's still a memory hog.

PS: Google: The keyboard shortcuts to enter date (CTRL+;) and time (CTRL+:) in Google Spreadsheets are still broken for Chrome.
