Google Chrome is still missing a Print Preview option, which is featured in IE/Firefox/Mozilla/Netscape/Safari/Opera browsers.

Chrome version 1.0 was a big disappointment to me since it had a bunch of missing features but Chrome 2.0 beta has included some of them such as support for “Chrome Extensions” which are similar to the Firefox Add-ons. The google chrome extensions are in developmental stages and are not in final production yet.
