Google Chrome - News, Updates & Discussions

This new theme uses more space. I didn't like that either. But I still use chrome because (I feel) it is more secure (compare to other chromium browsers).

Waiting for MS-Edge chromium based browser.

Me too switched back to Chrome today!! I want to KILL Google!

I don't like this new Chrome UI either, but no great alternate browser, so somehow managing with it.

Mobile Chrome also having this silly UI update, so didn't updated it yet and marked the app as manual update.

Google never budges once they make a decision. The recent design changes in Chrome tabs is a good example. Despite of so much flak, they didn't care to enable the flag!!

And most Websites/Apps/Pages are now building their code based on Chrome. IE/Firefox are not being considered as the primary browsers anymore. Google made the browser popular and created a monopoly by Google! Developers don't have much choice now except following their standards. And also, it's undeniable fact that Firefox isn't as fast as Chrome despite of such claims from them.

I recently wanted to switch to Firefox because of this tab design, but after spending an hour or so with it I understood it's lagging and switched to Cent. Finally switched back to Chrome realizing there might be security issues with third party Chromium browsers. Edge might be our only hope, if they can do any better with Chromium base.

I think it's probably because people can still do what they intend to do on mobile/laptop with Ads (They co-exist with actual content), and on TV you don't have any choice except watching the ad (People are Ok with Ads on EPG). Chrome also enabled native blocking to block annoying ads like TV ads, which doesn't allow the user to do anything except watching it!

Web was not so much developed then bro. Internet was also very slow so loading images could have taken much time. Now heavy pages loads in a blink of eye.
