Reasons we don't use Chrome (participation wanted !)


Recommended Posts

I am impressed by the speed but thats about it.

I don't use it because...

No addon support for the many addons/features I need.

Impossible to customize the interface.

I feel locked in a box when I look at the options.

Chrome will need to be a LOT more flexible and have more customization options for it to be a serious contender.

It seems peopel would rather say why they hate something than why they like something... guess which ones spark the most arguments too...

Nice to see your not lowering yourself to it then... :rolleyes:

Anyway. I don't use chrome, opera and safari because of lack of addons. I use Roboform, which I couldn't live without, I need an ad-blocker and I like the built in gmail checker. None of these I can get with the others (easily, or at all).

As many have said before... Firefox because you can do just about anything you want to it given the right knowledge. It's a browser without walls.

It's a tad slower and uses a lot of memory with a lot of extensions, but QQ just go buy 4 GB of RAM, it's cheap nowadays lol.

btw, why make a "negative", or in other words a flame topic, instead of leaving it at a positive "why do you use Chrome" topic, and perhaps one for other browsers. What's the need for flamebatiing with a negative topic ?

It's not flamebait if the feedback's constructive.

I bought admuncher (which works, by definition with ALL browsers) and switched to Chrome with v3.x (dev build). I've found this version of Chrome to be faster and more stable in every way that IE8 or FF3.5, and it only appears to be getting better every weekly update. Compatibility issues I had just a month ago are now gone. 8)

I use Chrome as my default browser, but that doesn't stop me from noticing its certain deficiencies that I have to live with for now:

1. No native adblock and accelerators, and not stable extension mechanism to add them either.

2. Feeds cannot be subscribed to. Even if they don't add feed reader, they should add a subscription mechanism to subscribe to feeds using the Windows RSS Platform (the common feed store used by IE, WL Mail, Outlook and others).

3. About one in a thousand clicks go right through the Chrome window to whatever window is behind it.

4. No virtual folders in bookmarks manager.

5. Removal of recent searches from the new new tab page.
