Aside from the syncing, Chrome wins for me because I use hardware authentication for all my stuff. To access my server, gmail, google developers dashboard, all linkify related stuff requires a USB key. Not even my own desktop is trusted.
Without the physical key nothing can be accessed, until other places adopt similar technology I'll be sticking with the strongest hardware authentication around. It's great for me because I don't have mobile phone and this is more secure than text message two step verification.
I guess it depends on your needs, but for me this is a winner and it's biggest reason I like chrome.
Prices start at around $5 but personally I think it's wise to spend a little more. The thing is, it's very affordable.

Chrome was an early adopter and now and other sites are following.
list of sites that use this technology (look Jagex it's easy why don't you support this? All that's needed is a little software no hardware at all)
