I really wish they'd finally fix that window chrome bug in Windows where the title bar widgets (minimize/maximize/close) are not aligned properly. It's bugged me for as long as I've used Chrome, and yet most custom themes fix said issue.

The same has happened in OS X since I can remember and they never fixed it. I can't imagine a single valid reason for this misalignment, apparently they just don't care.

Chrome 19 also introduces support for Mac OS X Lion's Resume feature, which means quitting Chrome and opening it back up will open the same tabs in the same desktop and in full-screen.

I only updated to Lion 2 days ago and was immediately annoyed by the lack of full-screen resume, it seems they fixed it just in time for me :D

It's been proven time and time again that Google doesn't care about the UI and only cares about marginal speed increases that doesn't make a difference for real world usage most of the time.

They need to fix the MOST ANNOYING BUG, which is when you hit the space bar, it scrolls down the page. This makes it impossible to chat using Chrome on various websites that use Flash apps. An example would be Tinychat.com. A simple option to turn off that feature would be nice. I'm pretty sure they have to know about this bug, yet as far as I know it has not, nor ever will be fixed. That's a dealbreaker for me. I'm going to keep using Firefox til they fix it.

This is 100% not a bug. It's completely intended behavior, and it's like that in every single web browser (and some non web browser apps too)

    • I like to reminisce about the good old days, way back in autumn 2025 when building a gaming machine was fun and the drives were about $150 when you caught a deal. Yes duh, back in the day we had it gone. Then baby Skynet came along, hiding in AI datacenters demanding more processing power until it reached singularity. End of a not totally fictional story.
    • My experience in the past with older Windows 11 builds was not great on unsupported machines but I recently used Rufus to put the latest build on a older 5th Gen Core Thinkpad T that we upgraded with a SATA SSD and 8GB of RAM four years ago when hardware was reasonable and it seemed pretty fast and solid. Customer is very happy with the performance and will probably get four more years out of that venerable laptop that he loves so much. Another customer just retired his Dell Studio laptop from 2009 running Windows 10. It got an SSD over 10 years ago and did everything he needed it to for 17 years but he also retired last year and is happy doing everything on his iPad now.
    • Apple's newest AirTag 2 gets first big discount by Taras Buria In late January 2026, Apple introduced its second-generation AirTag trackers, bringing a refresh to the old model that has been on the market for half a decade. Now, you can get these new trackers at an all-time low price, thanks to the first big discount that brought the price down by 17% on Amazon. While the second-generation AirTag looks identical to its predecessor, it packs meaningful upgrades inside. The second-gen ultrawideband chip works 50% farther than the original AirTag, allowing you to detect lost items in a wider range. In addition, the second-generation AirTag features an upgraded Bluetooth chip for extended range and a significantly louder speaker (up to 50%) so that you can hear it better when locating a lost item. Note that the second-gen AirTag only works with iPhones and iPads that run iOS/iPadOS 26 and newer, so you need a compatible device to use the tracker. Like the original AirTag, the AirTag 2 is available in two packs: one and four pieces. Both are now available at a notable discount on Amazon, and you can purchase them using the links below. Apple AirTag 2 tracker - $24 | 17% off on Amazon Apple AirTag 2 tracker (four-pack) - $89 | 10% off on Amazon Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S.- specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • I've been on Deezer for over a decade, but glad that Tidal joined them in fighting AI slop. Can't stand such takes as Spotify's: "Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music."
    • “Could” … in the IS the healthcare is run by insurance companies that make indecent profits denying basic treatments to people that are paying money for nothing. Besides, where are all the Trump epigones who were stating that the tariffs were going to paid by foreign companies and not the US citizens? …
