I've never used Chrome on Windows, but I must say I'm a bit disappointed using it on the Mac. I do like the technical side of it so I use it often for watching Hulu, but the polish is not there. Often times, keyboard shortcuts stop working completely for me and I'm pretty sure that the silent update roll borked my copy of the app once. Also, having the close buttons on the wrong side of the tab is really annoying and, similarly, they reversed the order of "open in new window" and "open in new tab" on the contextual menus for links.
But I feel that on Windows, this "non-nativeness" actually works to its advantage. As an example, by avoiding window chrome, the UI becomes more compact, taking over almost the entire screen for browsing.
Wow, you are exactly right! It is mostly the Cmd-L shortcut I notice going missing. I wonder why that one is getting eaten but Cmd-N, T, W, and Q all work?
