Chrome still doesn't support CSS3 hyphenation. I wish they would, because it has a huge impact in web typography. http://caniuse.com/css-hyphens

I agree, hyphenation is crucial to proper line breaking. If you don't mind a JavaScript solution you can have a look at:

Yeah, I've looked into this in the past. In fact, it was exactly a year ago that I tweeted that Chrome doesn't support hyphenation. Had to double check today to see if it were still true.

In fact, it seems even more important now that they have Chrome on tablets and phones (this was announced one year ago as well, incidentally).
