A couple small things with Chrome

I just started using Chrome.

So far, a lot of it 'works smoothly', no problem.

There are a couple little things I don't care for.

One, in other browsers there's an easy pulldown to pick a page to return to. In Chrome, I only see hitting the 'back' button over and over.

Two, I accidentally hit the close X. On other browsers, they have a warning - are you sure you want to close all the windows? Chrome just closed.

Firefox restores my tabs; Chrome did not. All the tabs I had open - sorry, gone.

Third, when I have a bad auto-complete entry - say I'm going to anandtech and type www.anan and hit enter, oops it didn't auto-complete, now that's in the auto-complete list; on other browsers I can go to the entry and hit the delete key and it's removed, don't see how to remove it on Chrome.

The closing when I hit the X without a warning and not restoring tabs was the worst.

1. Click and hold the back button to get a pulldown list.
2. You can set it to restore tabs that were open on startup.
3. Not sure how to fix this.

if you close your browser window, next time you open a new one there should be a button to open up "9 Tabs" in the recently closed listing.

Thanks. Unfortunate 're-open tabs' isn't the default.

On my mac, if I hit the "X" (close) button for the main window, the browser disappears, but I can go to File->Reopen Closed Tab and it will re-open all tabs I just closed.
