I find Chrome full of little annoyances like this. I tried to move to it because of the huge speed advantage over firefox but gave up pretty quickly.
I understand - and generally approve - the drive towards simplicity, but things should be made as simple as possible, and no simpler. (With apologies to Einstein.)
Chrome crosses that line in several ways which ends up causing more confusion than it solves.
- redthrowaway 16y agoI've found the simplicity of Chrome to be great. Mainly I'm bugged by how it just doesn't quite get flash right on OSX. Still, I've tried the latest FF and Opera releases, and I can't get over the extra toolbar real estate. Chrome just plain looks nicer, which, in combination with its other great features, solidifies its spot as my browser of choice. I just wish they'd fix the bugs.
- sid0 16y agoAgreed. Have you tried the latest nightlies of Firefox 4? They're much closer to what I imagined browsing would be like today, ten years ago, than Chrome is (Firefox has new features like Panorama, and is as hackable as ever. Chrome has... the http prefix hidden? Seriously?). Ever since I started using Panorama, my productivity has shot through the roof.
- sigzero 16y agoChrome on the Mac is still lacking. In Safari if I right click and copy an image I can paste that directly in Mail. Using Chrome I get a broken image icon.
