Stupid Chrome bug: Why I'm switching back to Firefox

GNU/Chrome and GNU/Firefox

GNU/Chrome and GNU/Firefox are both good browsers. I've taken to calling them the above names because when I set out to release a free operating system, I was lacking just one thing, a browser.

Google and Mozilla only put in all the money and effort, but they are only one small part of the GNU system.

Everyone that needs to reinstall a OS because a program is a crying noob.

I Love Chrome, But...

I love chrome, but there are few bugs that I wish weren't there.

1. Sometimes I login to citibank.com.ph the window abruptly closes.

2. Sometimes when I type a search in Facebook, even if I already emptied the search field, the letters are still there.

3. Sometimes I can't close Chrome. I don't know.

I haven't yet tried to investigate cause these behaviors are sporadic. My alternative is Firefox.

Chrome is just not designed for non-web-savy users

John Brandon,
Don’t feel too bad about not knowing how to Ctrl-y. It is Google’s fault for designing software that Google Employees can use with ease. They need to remember that, most of them are 10x better with computers then most of the rest of us. I have to admit that I never even noticed that there is no “Redo” Button or even an “Edit Menu” until you mentioned it. I almost always use the hot-keys and so I haven’t looked for cut, copy, paste, undo, redo, or select-all for a really long time. If you use computers for long enough, then you will get the hang of hot-keys, too. Hang in there buddy, some day you will be able to call yourself a “technology writer” and not just a “writer.”

Chrome does have redo!

Ummmm, not to say Chrome doesn't have annoying bugs but Ctrl+y is redo, in virtually any application, including chrome.

Or just right click the text box, and select "redo" from the context menu. (On the context menu it says Ctrl+Shift+z = redo -- but Ctrl+y also works.)

RE: Stupid Chrome bug: Why I'm switching back to Firefox

I too have found Chrome unusable for serious, professional Web use:

1.) Chrome does not retain formatting when you copy a page and paste it in another app (e.g., Outlook or Microsoft Word). This is a no-no.

2.) Chrome does not have Print Preview. I print a lot of web pages while doing research. This is another no-no.

3.) Chrome's video playback is spotty at best and completely unusable at worst.

4.) I have seen numerous rendering glitches with printed documents - in other words, lack of WYSIWYG
