Also, Chrome is not immune to "crashes for everyone at the same time" bugs. Like that time when the start of daylight saving time made it crash for a full day (a quick search tells me it probably was https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=287821 https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=287821).
- username223 8y ago> "crashes for everyone at the same time" bugs What else would you expect for auto-updating software that relies on the internet to work? It's a monoculture attached to a firehose of disease. This is exactly the same as "pushing out a security fix to all users," except it apparently wasn't intentional. You can't have one without the other.
- craftinator 8y agoI love "firehose of disease", and will steal it. And I agree that bugs are bugs; every time you add a new capability, you add all the possible bugs that can occur with that capability.
- tssva 8y agoThat bug seems to have affected only users on Android versions earlier than 4.3 and in Brazil or Chile.
