Chrome - autofill preferences a huge mess

Been using Chrome for a while now.  Finally found it's achilles heel.  An area where the Amazing Googlers who do so much good work, slacked off and left me mass clicking.  I almost couldn't believe I was at a Google App.

Missing from Autofill preferences:

1. Delete all - the only way to clear all the bullshit data that Google has been gathering and simplify my auto fill to one address so it works properly is to individually delete all of the auto fill data one at a time.  I'm well trained in video games, so the clicking is no problem for me, but it's really annoying.

2. Sync - just did this on one of my other computers and now I have to do it again.  Not good.  Not  Google.  Maybe it does sync but it hasn't yet, I don't now cause there's no sync button on the autofill preferences page.

3. Bizarre Floating Window Design - Strange X in the upper right corner to return to the preferences pane, strange floating window breaks the design yet again.  Should just be part of preferences with a menu entry on the left hand column, fully integrated.  Again, I don't know who's putting all these show stopping pop up windows in all your products, but it's a waste of time because you're just going to have to remove them all when you realize how lame and flow breaking they are.
