Starting Life in a Browser

I've been using Chrome at home recently because Firefox 4 and Flash seem to be waging a war of attrition on my desktop. I haven't been using many extensions (just the usual ad-block stuff) but I installed this one today which has already proven useful: the Incredible Start Page from Visibo. In the right pane it lists your bookmark pages and your apps (of which I have exactly one - SlideRocket - which I never use because it only allows me 2 gig worth of uploads). In the left pane, though, it displays the pages you've closed, in the order you've closed them. That's great for me, because I have a habit of closing a page I'm writing about before pasting its URL into the form. Will I stay with Chrome? Only if they give me 'view selection source' rather than making me dig through whole web pages to see what's going on ('inspect element' is not a substitute).
