I noticed that Firefox has bookmarks that can be executed in the HUD. Love it!
Chrome and Chromium, which run javascript apps much faster for some odd reason, allow for history to be called through the HUD, but not bookmarks. This wouldn't be a problem if ALL history was callable, but it seems that Chrome LIMITS the amount of history visible to the hud.
Is there a version of chrome or chromium that will see our bookmarks?
Click on the Unity button (top-left) and type and click on Preferred Applications. In the Internet tab you'll be able to choose the Default Web browser you want.
As unfulvio said, the issue is with google-chrome.desktop, and it is missing the %U argument .
Open file: $HOME/.local/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop
Find the line:
Exec=/opt/google/chrome/chrome
Add a space and %U:
Exec=/opt/google/chrome/chrome %U
Then save the file.

Earlier versions of Chromium did have the bookmarks and full history exposed to the application menu and the HUD. The Chromium developers felt that Dbusmenu's implementation slowed their startup time too much, so they disabled it.
Since then we've drastically improved the speed of Dbusmenu requests, so it shouldn't be an issue, but someone needs to work with them to restore the feature in Chromium.
