Google Chrome

DctrHrrbl OTM

jesus christ, could they have rendered the programmers to look anymore smug?

i already hate them all with a passion, even as i'm sure that they're wonderful people

wtf at that

now I kind of never want to try it

that is some jack chick type shit

! It says "OMFG" in the chat window on the second panel. Wonder if that will stay that way.

so where's the download link, it's tuesday

Google removes cached page of Chrome download

California hipster programmers get up late.

27 minutes! CAN'T WAIT!

I'm not going to bother. All these browsers seem the same. You can't pull the wool over my eyes.

Dell otm; this comic was so fucking smug. The security "features" in this browser (black lists!!?!) are fucking dated. No heuristic security features, no new CSRF or XSS protection, no cred.

that comic loads funny. also how long is it? give me an xx / xx at the bottom please.

I'd like to see a Penny Arcade version of this comic...

u guys sure are mad at a comic on the internet about a new piece of software

ITS OUTRAGEOUS.

I'm mad that I clicked through 14 pages of nonsense with no end in sight, yes.

Yeah, I got to page 22 or so before giving up.

It's such shit.

maybe they deliberately didnt tell us how long it was.

max, at least we're talking about a comic that we are actually reading.
Here's a bunch of blowhards talking about Chrome itself, when they haven't even used it yet...

The commenter talking about the browser inside of a browser is mildly funny.

Whoa, yeah, I was gunna say. Full-on Scott McCloud going on on that site.

The press conference is on now, so you can live stream the video and see how much the developers look like their comic book representations.

Yeah, I got to page 22 or so before giving up.

Whaaa... ? Jesus, I'm only on page 5. Sod this.

this must be a 'software engineer' thing like when i get mad at jim derogatis

It'll be ironic if nu-nu-nu-ILX doesn't work with Chrome (yeah I know it will 'cause of WebKit etc.)

like rain on your wedding day

Windoze (Beta)

Needs Vista or XP SP 2

wau this is hideous

somehow uglier than ie

I feel like it was designed by me. This is not a good thing.

> Yeah, I got to page 22 or so before giving up

38 pages in total. and that thing that only let you click 'next' and then appeared to reshow the current page whilst downloading the next page really slowly in the background was really annoying.

images available directly:

interesting that they chose webkit over gecko. mildly. will be interesting to see whether Adblock gets ported to it...

and that thing that only let you click 'next' and then appeared to reshow the current page whilst downloading the next page really slowly in the background was really annoying.

that's what im talking about. such a basic functionality failure and these guys are making a browser?

Reminds me of that crap AOL browser from about 1996.

I dunno, I kinda like it. The comic is random and endless however.

pretty awful

what does it bring that firefox doesn't already have sewn up?

lower memory footprint?

Supposedly if a website causes a tab to crash, then that tab can be closed without affecting any other tabs that are open.

But Firefox will reopen your session back at the same state it had when it crashed.

Yep...

Although to be fair, it's usually necessary to force Firefox to close by using the Task Mananger.

I quit after that first page. I don't care if it has a small memory footprint than Firefox (probably not), I'm not going through THAT.

firefox is fine these days, memory-wise; those days are past us, we live in the promised age

safari is amazing too; what are google thinking

total palin play

I just can't believe how fast and light it is. I've just uninstalled firefox, and I don't think I'll regret it. Big surprise.

Don't you guys find it a LOT faster ?

Yeah the new bookmark tile shit is the worst. It turned my lovingly curated and carefully renamed porn folder into an absolute horror show.

So glad I moved to Firefox

does chrome 55 look stupid for everyone now or just me on desktop windows? it's enforcing "material design" ui (i know nothing about this stuff but this is surely the most arbitrary design language ever) which seems to mean big fat tall tabs with tiny little text and no option to disable in :flags

gave up with chrome ages ago as i was finding it very resource demanding.

Edge on W10 + adblock extension is very nice.

i have to refresh the page several times to get beyond either a blank screen or a dumb "aw snap" error message. internet connection is totally fine, so are other browers

this happens almost every time i open a link in a new tab

Are you updated? That was happening a lot for me until I did

i am! still happens w/ basically every new tab. very bad

yeah im getting blank. tabs a lot

mobile friendly offer at bottom of screen = i feel about the person responsible for this like everyone else feels about thatcher

^ that was driving me insane, u can turn it off

bless u a million times

I'm back on Firefox

reader mode is actually p good just useless on ilx. i don't suppose we can do a robots.txt or something to prevent it

does chrome 55 look stupid for everyone now or

got used to this within 3 hours and forgot i was ever radge lol

I have this bizzare thing going on with chrome were the url bar text is microscopic - it seems to be shrinking by the second

why is chrome making me -hold down- command Q to quit now? Yeah go ahead subvert the OS, dingbats

there's an option to turn it off under "chrome" in the menu bar (bc why would they just put this in options?)

awesome, thanks brah

i am having the weirdest chrome issue, since updating to whatever the latest version is a few weeks ago. and worse, i can't find anyone else having the same problem, and worserer, i am having trouble consistently replicating the issue.

it looks like this:

https://i.imgur.com/Pzo7jCv.png

pop-up URL boxes now occasionally appear, on some webpages. sometimes it's when my mouse passes over an image, sometimes when it's over a URL, sometimes when it's just text, and sometimes when it's just on the side of text. sometimes the pop-up box disappears relatively quickly. sometimes they persist until I move my mouse over the pop-up box. sometimes, even after I do that, they don't go away. it's insane. some websites have more of a problem with it than others - Pitchfork immediately became a nightmare to browse. sometimes i have to "clear" about a dozen pop-up URL boxes when i read a single review. then on the next review, maybe i don't get any at all. it is fucking weird.

twitter also occasionally completely flips out on me, especially when i'm trying to "compose" a new tweet

https://i.imgur.com/XMVqlVP.png

the problem is especially notable when I have a link in the tweet - the pop-ups stack on top of each other, and sometimes I've seen like 20 or 30 stacked - IT'S MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TWEET, OH HEAVENS

anyway, i have had zero luck troubleshooting this or finding anyone with a similar issue.

do you think their being drawn is connected w/ tooltip-style hovers or with the status bar traditionally at window bottom?

use firefox

xp

more like tooltip-style hovers. although again, sometimes the pop-up occurs right where the cursor is, and sometimes they show up several hundred pixels away. it's fucking weird (and incredibly annoying).

use firefox

yeah, this is probably the answer

Is Firefox good now?
Haven't used it for awhile
Chrome is a real hog

Firefox is good now

cosign

Still a memory hog more than other browsers on a mac

dropping this here in case anyone finds it useful--i noticed after the last chrome update that the prioritization of suggestions in the address bar had changed. i always use the first letter or two to get to the sites i check all the time, and after the update it started placing my most recent search starting w/that letter over my most visited url starting with that letter.

so like instead of typing 'i' to autocomplete ilxor.com i would end up repeating a search for "irrigating a garden" or whatever the last random thing i looked up was.

anyway this tells you how to fix it: https://www.ghacks.net/2019/05/14/fix-chrome-prioritizing-search-words-over-visited-sites-in-address-bar/

Appreciate that.

I thought I had noticed something happening, but it was one of those things where I thought maybe I was the crazy one.

search on my android isn't worth shit the past week

not getting fb or twitter notifications in the same time period

lol xiaomi?

(^^^^ this indicates that chrome will not allow ad blockers soon for anyone but Enterprise users)

i've been using Opera for a couple years now and it's great. i'm almost fully extricated from Big Google.

Where has the fucking flag to disable the incredibly stupid pull-to-refresh gone in Android Chrome?

How do I shot printing from Chrome these days?

The selected printer is not available or not installed correctly.
Check your printer or try selecting another printer.

Same even for Save as PDF.

Anyone have suggestions for an add-on or extension that gives Chrome a search bar similar to Firefox's? I basically want my search phrase to persist in case I need to edit it on subsequent searches.

Every time Chrome updates I have to go into flags and disable the side search panel.

Every tech company insists on making their product more annoying with every iteration.

I just updated it and it did not put the side search panel back.

Experiencing a weird bug using Chrome on my Mac, Chrome windows always appear behind / hidden by windows from every other application. No way to bring them to the front (including the "bring all to front" menu item.) Makes my computer a little bit unusable.

Restarting fixed it. Which is weird, because it started happening immediately after a prior restart ...

Oh hi I have another complaint. Cmd-clicking on links on my iPad no longer opens a new tab. Works fine in what I guess is my new favorite web browser, Safari.

Yeah that's the worst. Holding the link does the trick, but no one's got time for that

fuck Chrome and fuck Google

I like it! Microsoft Edge is far worse. It is at least 10 years since I last used Firefox.

chrome sucks, use firefox

I went back to safari after 5ish years of Firefox.

They added a feature equivalent to Firefox containers which was the only thing keeping me on ff, and the Apple Pay integration, iCloud sync of everything to phone, and the greatest feature in the world (https://appleinsider.com/articles/19/10/20/how-the-security-code-autofill-feature-made-it-to-the-iphone) are huge.
