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

Everyone that needs to

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

the aforementioned Chrome bug

If you're involved in IT, then to be successful (and not suffer the stresses that often accompany cutting-edge technologies), a sense of humor is required. Patience, too.

As a multimedia producer, I must take *all* browser products seriously.

On Mac I prefer Firefox to Safari.

In the Windows environment, I have been switching between Firefox and IE forever (well, Netscape used to factor in too).

Each browser has its strengths and weaknesses.

While I realize that Chrome has *many* bugs yet to be addressed (many having to do with javascript), all I can say is that I'm delighted by its overall performance.

Thanks to borrowing (licensing?) some Apple technologies, the page rendering is FAST. The fastest I've seen on any browser yet.

Also remember that IE has been around since the very beginning of time, Firefox, with the benefits of all the experience that the Mozilla organization have incorporated into its lovely browser - which is far from being 'the new kid on the block'......

......remember that we are dealing with the first Chrome BETA - out only a week !!!

give 'em a little time to pull it together, ok?

In the meantime, it's still: ***different browsers handle certain chores better than others - so use as many as are practical for your optimum productivity!***

Respectfully.

Best to all,

Elliott
