You're the 2% who needs to install add-ons.
- shanelja 14y agoBut why should I have to install an addon? This is something already built in to the browser, in all honesty, if you removed a feature I used frequently then told me to go elsewhere to re-download it, I would be going elsewhere to download some software and the software would be Google Chrome.
- wpietri 14y agoYou already know why it should be in an add-on: because your use case is a rare one, and rare features for particular audiences don't belong in the main browser UI. There are some fields where "But it's traditional," is a reasonable response to a proposed change. But software isn't really one of them.
- singleuse 14y agoI'd like to know on where the notion that removing features used by only a fraction of the user base is what should be done comes from ? It is brandished right and left as if obvious, but it is never explained.
- wpietri 14y agoConsider all the possible features that 1% of the userbase wants. Are you saying they all should be included?
- king_jester 14y agoSo the solution for someone with expensive bandwidth limitations is to download additional software on top of the software they already downloaded just to configure a setting that was already inside of the first download?
- samastur 14y agoYes and if you want to browse more securely with Javascript turned off, you should also download a 3rd party add-on from unknown developer that will do this for you ;-)
- hexagonc 14y agoNo he/she is the 2% that need to touch the advanced settings tab.
