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


Recommended Posts

I use chrome because it's fast. I've never used adblock because it is immoral, so I don't miss it in Chrome. Sometimes I boot up Firefox to use some addon, but this isn't so often for me. I prefer using a fast browser until I need to use some addon, than use a slow browser all the time.

1-No support for RoboForm :crazy:, it is impossible for me to trust any browser's automatic password saving specially after an experience in 2007 :no: , there are many tools that already can get passwords saved in Chrome as well as almost any other browser's passwords :shiftyninja:, but for RoboForm and other password saving professional tools which use real encryption none exists :cool: .

2-No support for Babylon :x , so i can't just click with my mouse to know the meaning of any word instantly, i have to copy then open babylon then paste then click enter :huh: ! that simply sucks !

Those are the 2 main reasons which made me didn't switch to Chrome and keep with FireFox, nothing else ! :woot:

What are your reasons ? :rolleyes:

Becuse IE8 does everything I need. There is absolutly no reason to use anything else, at least for me.

Finally someone agree with me !

I googled and found many others too agree:

Good thing is that roboform will work with it by the end of this year, that's one of the reasons i don't use it either.

Because there's no stable version for Linux.

That doesn't stop me from using it. For me, it's much more stable than FF (on Linux), and it's faster. I use it on my netbook, work Laptop, and as my main browser on my work Desktop (all three Linux).

Then again, I use FF on OSX since there's no compelling reason for me to switch.

well heloo..

did everyone forget the load times of firefox and internet on even todays 10000 core processes processors and can someone compare that with chrome.

well personally i use chrome even though it lacks the addon features because its CLEAN and SIMPLE and it DOES what a BROWSER is supposed to do.

And, as many of us who are here are Advanced Users we expect to get MORE THAN BASICS in our browsers

    • Exactly. They won't go 100 because current gen consoles are simply too old for any groundbreaking graphics or gaming experience otherwise. They will go with standard (console) price 70 or go with 80 if they really want to go premium. Of course they will have more expensive options too with some useless cosmetics as always.
    • Doesn’t surprise me at all. God is light & He gave us life so it sounds almost logical that we would therefore emit a certain amount of light.
    • This is what I want. Hey Gemini, how do I remove you from all my google products permanently?
    • I would never install install this build before rtm process. only 3 months to go. never install on your daily devices. just wait 3 months.
    • Motrix Next 3.9.6 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.6 changelog: New Features Clipboard management — App-owned copy actions no longer trigger the Add Task auto-detect popup. aria2 input compatibility — Multi-line aria2-style task input is supported for URLs with per-task options such as out=. BitTorrent IPv6 DHT — Added IPv6 DHT support and related configuration. File category URL patterns — File category rules can match URL patterns with validation and localized hints. Task status tags — Added clearer waiting and sharing states for task cards. Download event bridge — Added an aria2 WebSocket event bridge for faster download notifications.
