PostPosted: Thu, 13th Feb 2014 02:06    Post subject: Hey... Chrome.


First, the other day, it was that they removed the scrollbar arrows. Why? This is a desktop OS. Keep the functionality of a desktop OS inside a desktop browser. But okay, that's cool, I rarely used them even though I found them useful at times. I *can* live with it.

A few days later... drop downs are styled differently and are more restricted in height. This makes using combo/drop boxes very annoying when they're long. Why do it? I don't even see a valid reason in anyone's eyes for doing this.

Today I start getting notifications for stuff I don't even care about with a notification icon in my taskbar. Gmail? Drive? I don't use any of them. I see extensions are down there too, I don't even know what some could possibly notify me of. I can't turn it off (and if I can, it's not obvious as to how, maybe through chrome://flags I'm guessing).

Every update I get also resets how I have the browser bar at the top configured. Why keep hiding my extension icons on a fucking 1440p screen? 2000px of horizontal free space isn't enough?

It's starting to feel less and less like a Windows browser.

thousand of comments of the suggestion topic, and chrome still dont have a way to limit the disk cache. (intuitive one, you can add limit to reg's or command line).

I don't find FF slow anymore. Last couple of versions really improved the memory issues, and the only problem I had was with flash, but that's sorted now.

Yeah, those ridiculously looking sites on desktop browsers - as if I were blind or something, because everything has to be huge enough to be touchable. And it doesn't scale well usually

Yeah, I recently switched back to the Fox after several months of Chroming and I must say that it is better indeed, a bit more responsive than I remembered. The layout is still fine (not too fancy, but functional), no signs of derping so far...I think I'll stay in her company for a while J Browman

It is actually very good, I agree. And it is fastest of the browsers on Mac. But then again, so is IE on Windows...

Depends on what I search
If you search for a brand/company/person it displays more information about it on the right.

Oh that? Yeah, what madness said. The "sponsored" stuff is gone if you use ABP and the white space is used for brands/etc. If I search for "Google" (divide by zero!) then I get the Google company info.
