I really would like to use Chrome/Chromium, but what I am missing hardly is a bookmark panel, which is shown all the time, like in Firefox and in most other browsers. By "bookmark panel" I mean the tree that lists all bookmarks and that is displayed on the left side (what you get when you press CTRL + B in Firefox, Firefox calls it a "Sidebar").

I couldn't find a extension for that. Does some has an idea?

Press Ctrl+B for the Chrome 5 (or Shift+Ctrl+B for Chrome 6).

And bookmark sidebar probably would not be added:

I don't think Google would consider that; part of Chrome's appeal is the minimalistic interface. Many users of other browsers have complained as to how bulky sidebars can be, so I doubt Google will add them.

But anyway, you could check a non-ideal way to make something sidebar-like.

That just opens the 'Bookmark Manager', but that is not a panel that is visible all the time. – toobb Jun 7 '10 at 10:48
In my Chrome 6 the panel is shown in all tabs, like in Firefox. Anyway, you could try clicking on the rightmost button in the toolbar (with a 'configure' icon) and select the "Always Show Bookmarks Bar" option. – whitequark Jun 7 '10 at 14:32
Just discovered that it is Ctrl+B in Windows – whitequark Jun 7 '10 at 14:33
Sorry, I guess my question was too vague. I actually mean the "Bookmark Sidebar" like in Firefox. And under Linux it is also Ctrl-B (at least for Chromium 5). – toobb Jun 7 '10 at 18:31

Forget about the sidebar- if you want "firefox like" bookmark thing use the "live bookmarks" extension in chrome. i used to love firefox but its so buggy now its nearly useless...

Xmarks is also a very cool extension
