...where is the function that shows the drop down history of previously visited sites as I type the first few letters in the address bar?

Select options from the dropdown menu.

Click on Privacy.

Should be self explanitory from there.

* Privacy. Chrome's taken a lot of heat for its monitoring and collection of user data, some of which happens before you even hit enter.

* Security. It didn't take long for users to discover vulnerabilities in the beta browser. Several of these have already been patched.

* Reliability. Some sites and online services still don't work with Chrome.

* Consistency. Because Chrome is build on the WebKit system, it differs from the dominant platforms that most designers focus on.

* Support. Chrome doesn't yet have any add-ons or customization options available. It's yet to be seen how these, once developed, will compare to the rich options available for Firefox.
