I recall it was a lot of little things, but I don't recall what exactly
they were.  I do know that one was that I really missed being able to type
some things into the address bar and come up with a reasonable set of URLs
that were likely matches to it.  In Firefox I could live without bookmarks
because I could just "search" through my historic URLs in the address bar.
Chrome does this, but it does it much, much worse.

It looks like it's become a bit better in this respect, but it still isn't
as good as firefox here.

I also don't like the certificate management.  Sites with self-signed
certs, or other unknown certs end up having to jump through hoops to get it
to not throw up a certificate warning.

That's what I recall was some of the bigger pain-points.  I don't remember
exactly what it was that made me decide to just head back to Firefox
though.
