1. Customisation There has to be some actual customisation somewhere. Firefox's extensions and themes are great, and provide the user with almost unimaginable power over the browser as does the highly usable about:config and tools utilities. Even if they just included more options, it would be better...
2. Incognito mode This is a great idea and should be on every browser. Similar things are available for Firefix, but they tend to do things like clear your history, disable cookies, scripts, java, passwords, etc etc. while they are enabled and this can be very irritating. The Chrome method of only cleansing when the window is closed is a good idea, but some things need tweaking. I don't want to have to open a new window for private browsing. It should be an option, but incognito tabs should also be an option. Simply changing the colour or the logo of the tab should be enough to identify it and this would be a bit less clumsy.
3. More Web 2.0 integration Sure, the Google Gears Web App Shortcut works like a charm, but maybe a bit more, like integration with Gmail, Google Docs, or the legendary Google Reader... Don't ask me how, it just should in this new age of Netbooks and Web 2.0, if it wants to be a true Web 2.0 browser...
It is a good browser, but it's not a great browser, and these little changes would go a long way to propelling it towards greatness...
Yes, this is going to divide the population like a skunk in a lift, but it needed to be said...
