as a student, i am using several sites of my university, chrome is not happy with few of them.
it could be little annoying thing like clicking on login that does not work (but if you click few times eventually it get's true),
to rendering issues with assignment. it is specially pain when they are timed, and even though entry field of the pull down list
is right in the middle of the scree, rest of it (the fanned out list) is out of screen, only bottom line of 5 line list is partially visible
on top of the screen, rest is out. then there are others similar to it like flashcardDB etc. couple of work sites (restricted...) etc.
ive run into couple others that were simple page, no frames, no bells and whistles, looking like something one would do with a notepad.
the problem was that part of the page would show with extremely large font and the rest was 2-3 points high.
reinstalling chrome fixed it once but that was it.
also has problem with security on some sites. I am sure that many of those things could be resolved by those that
created those pages but the bottom line is i don't give a rats.... if chrome cannot get it's recognition by web developers,
perhaps there should be mode to fool websites into thinking that it is not chrome but IE or FF.
personally i don't like that websites can tell what browser i'm using, i don't like that someone is collecting
any kind of info on me and google must have tons by now. maybe it is not so bad idea to use something else after all.
there was a time when other browsers were left in dust by chrome. i have couple of them installed and this does not feel like that any more.
i also use host file to block bunch of add sites etc (from MVPS.org) and don't like how chrome is handling it.
it is showing large ugly place holders and nagging all the time or even substituting own adds etc.
neither IE and FF have no problem with any of that.
aside from issues with rendering, or inability to load some page, i find it annoying that is crushes - too often for my taste.
even my AV is warning me that "Chrome is taking to much memory and does not seem to do much, should it be closed?"
again, none of other have that issue.
sometimes it will work three days with no issue, sometimes it would crash few times a day. yes, it recovers and reloads all pages
and tends to blame plugg-ins like shockwave (it came with chrome, i don't install or use any others although there is ton of interesting ones).
but i don't care, whatever the problem is, i am annoyed by "it's dead Jim" and other "x-eyes" smilies telling me that what i was working on had to be interrupted.
it fas cute and maybe funny first time but not any more.
