TL;DR: I got fired on my first day at a new fucking job for using Google Chrome.

So I got hired at an electronics store yesterday (think RadioShack, but not dead), but this job was just for me to have through college. I got started with training today and my manager told me to open the internet and my first instinct was Chrome because there was a desktop shortcut for it. "Not Google, the internet" he immediately responds to that. Not wanting to argue with my manager on the first day I open IE and go to the training site. A few minutes after he leaves I copy the URL into Chrome because IE took 10+ seconds to load each page. Oh fucking boy did I fuck up there.

My manager came back to check on me a few hours later and immediately started freaking out. The first thing he asked was "how Google got this data" and that "they should not have access to this". Fucking what? So then he just starts yelling at me about how I violated the NDA and non-compete agreement. Fucker even said he was gonna call corporate and get lawyers involved for this breach of data.

Well needless to say I got fired, not that I want to work at a place like that anyways :/

The war has begun..

idk why people keep saying Chrome hogs up all the memory
i have 16gb of RAM and it just takes 14gb

The most absurd thing that I heard today ,
Me: open this XYZ.com
Friend: Should I open it in chrome or in Google.
Me: (Speechless)
Ironically he is a cs student.
Thx devrant.

Wait. Say what Google Chrome? I can't use the .zip extension? Instead I have to use the .zip extension? What?

Gmail puts emails from YouTube into spam, Google Chrome blocks pop ups from Google Drive

10/10 compatibility across products _/\_

still not enough for Google Chrome 😑

Reading devRant feed is so fucking hard nowadays. Every other rant is about Windows rebooting, Google being evil, Quantum beating Chrome, M$ users being cunts and all these fanboy shits.

Fucking hell. Write some actual code and rant about some solid problems rather than being a stupid fanboy.

People use duckduckgo on chrome while they are signed in.. I mean come on.. Seriously??

Chrome wants to open 454 tabs at once.
That's literally the software version of suicide.

Google Chrome (Not responding)

One of my non technical friend thinks 'inspect element' is a bug which Google haven't fixed yet

Chrome is so selfish

Non-dev coworker (ndc) sees me using google chrome: I don't understand why chrome is so popular. I hate it and don't know why anyone would use it.
Me: what browser do you use?
NDC: internet explorer.
Me: why do you like ie better than chrome?
NDC: it does everything chrome can do and it's free.
Me: ie can NOT do everything chrome can do and chrome is free. You just have to download it from google.
NDC: no I read that chrome is proprietary software and why would I pay to use it when ie is free.
Me: ie is also proprietary software. Proprietary doesn't necessarily mean it costs money it's just not open source. Plus ie is not free. You paid for it when you bought the windows license that came with your computer.
NDC: no ie was already on the computer when I bought it so I didn't have to pay for it.
Me: it was included in the price of the computer but you still paid for it.
NDC: whatever I'm going to keep using ie because it's free for me.

ARE YOU RETARDED???

> Open google chrome console (F12)
> Press Ctrl + Shift + P (or Cmd + Shift + P)
> Type "dark theme"
> Press enter

Don't thank me, just my duty

Don't do this, Chrome

So a group of 'researchers' (you'll get later why I call them 'researchers') conducted research to find the most secure browser.

Their result is Google Chrome!

Few minor details:

- THE WHOLE FUCKING RESEARCH THINGY WAS (mostly?) SPONSORED BY GOOGLE.

- THEY COMPARED IT MOSTLY TO INTERNET FUCKING EXPLORER AND EDGE.

Are they fucking retarded or something?! Yeah if it's going to go like that, Google Chrome will certainly become the winner/number 1.

Mother of fucking god.

WTF GOOGLE CHROME!!

If you ever feel you're not self-confident enough, think about the guy who told his manager at Google about the great idea he had been working on: a T-Rex that jump over cactus when there's no internet connection in Chrome.

Me: *uses google chrome*
Parents: Stop, log out of everything, you're hogging up the internet, omg
Me: *unplugs computer*
Parents: *their computer still not working* You downloaded a virus to our wifi you're grounded for a month

Throughout the day I check Google analytics, I do it so much that I have a habit of typing "anal" and hitting enter into chrome and it auto completes,
I accidentally typed it not realising I still had focus on my company Slack chat window. The delete message feature is disabled 😰.

Do you understand ?

Person: Oh! blablabla.onion isn't working. It must be the government censoring it.
Me: No, its because you're trying to open a onion website in Google Chrome.

Unpopular opinion (and perhaps the most hated one in dev community):

I LOVE THE NEW GOOGLE CHROME UPDATE.

The design is smooth and flawless. UX is just amazing.

*awaits the negative comments bashing me for compromising my privacy and how Chrome sucks the RAM*

So my school forced everyone to buy a Chromebook G4 Education Edition which came with ChromeOS and we had to sign some shady e-policy. Days after I got it, I opened it up and manually reflashed the BIOS so I could use SeaBIOS and install Arch Linux.

Great, so I went on to instal Chrome and it was really slow and performance heavy, then I installed the new Firefox and it ran a lot faster...

*So hehe, Firefox works better than Chrome on a Chromebook!*

It looks like those who say "I don't use Chrome, I use Firefox" or "I use duckduckgo instead of Google" are like vegans.

No one gives a flying fuck if you're a vegan or you use Firefox.

Yes, many of us use Firefox, ddg, Altavista, Netscape and FreeBSD but there is no need to remind us at every opportunity you do so.

Do whatever you want to but we don't care and probably won't judge you.

Ouch, I got pwnd by the google chromium developers :D

Thank you google

Induce browser crash for realz

Epic...
Well done Microsoft👏😂

When Microsoft gets desperate

"Yeah i use linux because its free and open source and secure!!"

*uses chrome and google*

I was just starting to lean coding, and had just about learned what the inspector does...

So in a drunken fury I decided I would make a FaceBook/Google hybrid.

So I opened up old trusted chrome, went to Google and hit F12 like the madman I was. Copied everything into my shiny notepad++, went to Facebook and appended my file with their code..

Infuriated that it didn't work I made an SO account and started asking questions. (I have since removed said account out of shame)

I'm not a very clever drunk.. (note I was about 20 by then and should've known better even drunk 😂)

I used to use Firefox few years ago, but people around me called me fool and told me that Chrome was much better.
Now I use Chrome and you devRanters are making me feel like fool again.
Lesson Learnt: Stand straight on your decisions

Found a very interesting bug that was reported for Google Chrome.

Google Chrome doesn't support google earth plugin

Sometimes I daydream about one of my projects to become successful. Then I realize that Google Chrome has 56.000 open issues and I regret

No, you're not a hacker because you use inspect element.

You know the Microsoft guy who installed Chrome because Edge crashed.

Don't judge him that much!
The guys at Google use Microsoft's VSCode for their Firebase. Also they use Typescript.

Our company (if any) shouldn't determine the tools we use. I haven't used Edge, but they recently added full Css Grid support. I'm gonna give it a try for a week or two...

So many open tabs that Goole chrome fails to count them

Absolutely hate it when a random website wants to show me notifications via Google chrome. Go F yourself.

Fuck you google chrome ...just because I use Windows and have only 4 gigs of RAM doesn't mean you can just shit on my RAM.

Quitting Google Chrome is so refreshing for my computer.

This never gets old 😂

You know chrome is bloated when it needs its own dedicated task manager.

That weird and uncomfortable feeling you get when trawling through analytic data only to realise your top 5 browsers are in order:

Google Chrome
iOS Safari
IE11
Edge
Firefox

I think I need to go back to testing things in IE again 😫

Google chrome

Plz come on

Just take the whole c drive for ur cache and stuff...

Dont take my whole ram

I always have an alternative:
Friend: Google Chrome
Me: Firefox
Friend: Outlook
Me: Thunderbird
Friend: Winrar
Me: 7zip
Friend: Nvidia
Me: AMD
Friend: Intel
Me: AMD
Friend: Windows
Me: Linux
Me: Yep i guess i am the nice one, because I BELIEVE in AMD ans in the open source projects !

A big FUCK YOU to chrome, and a big FUCK YOU to google in generally. First the hell that is code.org, then the chrome. I genuinely want to open a dictionary in google to see if the word "privacy" is in there. Sure, first it was tracking users with by making them agree to a long ass TOS no one wants to read except lawyers, then barely even giving any info and asking for consent with YOUR data, but this is too far. For all you that dont know, LanSchool is an application that allows teachers to see students screens, internet history and more. Its the reason kids can't play games in English class. But most importantly, its a chrome extension. We have to do assignments from home right? So when we logon to the school account from home, LANSCHOOL GETS DOWNLOADED ANYRACKS EVERYTHING I DO. It pains me how teachers can view so much information unfairly because of some unknowing students, my friends privacy was unfairly in the hands of google and the school system. Right when I found out about tit (~2 mins after i first logged on) i made an Ubuntu VM just for goddamn google docs. Back to my friend, he went on some websites not to be considered appropriate, and got in huge trouble. He was completely unaware of the fact that they could see his screen, and I resent google for allowing a third party to manipulate my PERSONAL COMPUTER without my consent. Die google, you ruined android, which had so much potential, and now the web and virtual privacy. You should be <strike>ashamed</strike> dead, and I hope in the future you realize that one day people will have common sense.

In class:
-What do you do first when you get a new pc?
A: Chrome
B: Google Chrome
Me: Arch Linux

RAM- please stop :'(
chrome- OH yeah baby ;)

i am BEYOND pissed at google.

as some of you know, i recently got android studio to run on a chromebook (you read that right), but it being a chromebook and google being a protective fucktard of their crappy operating system, i had to boot into bios every time i started it.

when i was with some friends, i started up the chromebook, and left, after telling my friends how to boot the chromebook.

ten seconds and literally one press of the esc button later, he broke the entire thing.

but that's not what that rant was about, i honestly knew it would happen eventually (although, this wasn't the best time).

so now this screen pops up.

"chrome os is damaged or missing, please insert a usb recovery drive" or something like that.

well, i'll create one. simple enough.

no wait, this is google, just your average 750 billion dollar company who cares more about responsive design then a product actually responding.

i started to create the recovery usb. of course, chrome developers thought it would be a good idea to convert the old, working fine, windows executable usb recoverer, and replace with with a fucking chrome extension.

i truly hope someone got fired.

so, after doing everything fine with the instructions, it got to the part where it wrote the os image to the usb. the writing stayed at 0%.

now this was a disk thing, writing os's and shit, so i didn't want to fuck it up. after waiting ten minutes, i pressed 'cancel.'

i tried again many times, looked things up, and frantically googled the error. i even tried the same search queries on bing, yahoo, duckduckgo and ecosia because i had the feeling google secretly had tracked me over the past 7 years and decided to not help me after all the times i said google was a fucker or something similar.

google is a fucker.

after that, i decided to fuck with it, even if it formats my fucking c drive.

i got to the same point where the writing got stuck at 0% and proceeded to fuck. i start spamming random keys, and guess what?

after i press enter, it started.

what the fuck google?
1000s of people read the article on how to make the recovery drive. why not tell them to press the goddamn enter key?

i swear there are hundreds of other people in my same situation. and all they have to do is press one fucking key???

maybe tell those people who tried to fix the shit product you sold them.

fuck you google.

First line of google chrome source code

#include "ram_eater.h"

No Google translate, I don't want you to translate my Lorem Ipsum. You are misunderstanding what I'm trying to do here. Thanks anyway.

> System becomes Irresponsive
> Chrome is taking RAM
> Closes two windows with 60+ tabs
> Leaves 1 tab open
> Still taking RAM
> taskkill /f /t /im chrome.exe
> RAM is not being held as hostage by Chrome

How the fuck can this happen?
It might be a malware. I did not do a scan yet, but I guess that it has to do with Google Chrome itself.
I think that a pop up once appeared and ever since I get these windows alerts every 1 hour or something like that.

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

People complaining about Microsoft pushing MS-Edge are clearly not using the YouTube mobile app, this shit pushes their premium shit and YouTube music every fucking day. MS you get ONE pop up when you change default browser and they are done! Also Google products one concurrent browsers ? You get that nice yellow message telling you you're not using chrome but people just like to tell shit about MS like it's the national sport or something well fuck you and fuck Google

when you close google chrome after finding the solution

Fuck Google Chrome and fuck you too MSI...
Why the hell would you not allow me to register my motherfucking MSI motherboard without installing Chrome first.

We are now at this point where Web Devs are refusing to make a simple shitty html form work unless it is running in Google Chrome...

You know what? Shove a big fat horse dildo up your ass.. I'm not registering this piece of shit and if I find the dev behind this, I will shove the entire MoBo up their ass without lube just to watch them scream in pain and agony.

Why does Google Chrome mention 'Official Build'?

Do they even provide Un-official builds as well?

Playing with "Inspect" in Google Chrome is fun

No Google, I don't want to download Google Chrome to use YouTube. Thanks for the offer, but I'll stick with my browser.
Fucking cunts.

I've been coding in Visual Studio so much that when Google Chrome pops up suggested autofill options I just press tab and nothing happens.

Ram for Google Chrome users. Still not good enough?

Chrome, the Ram eater

You have Google Chrome installed..

Yet, constantly you open other browsers, and it asks you "Want to install Google Chrome?".

No because I've already got it installed you bloody stupid piece of software, can't you tell !

Any way of stopping that ?

What do you think is that useful feature or trash? 🤔

This is the last straw. I am so done with Chrome.

…

I woke up AGAIN this morning to my MacBook shining away brightly, having not gone to sleep the ENTIRE night. I did some better research this time and discovered it's actually Chrome that is causing this.

Yes Chrome is deciding whether my MacBook goes to sleep or not.

I am not ok with this. Worse, it doesn't even have any ability to change this behavior. It's basically a hidden "feature" of Chrome: it wastes your hydro too!

This is not the first time this has happened either. Last time my MacBook wasn't properly plugged in and it completely drained the battery, shutting it right off. I ranted about that already.

But I am just SO fucking livid about this right now. What on EARTH is going through google's mind that they think this is in any way even REMOTELY acceptable?

I've already filed a bug report but I think this is the last straw. I am just sick to death of Chrome. This bug is literally costing me money and damaging my property.

Shove it right up your fucking ass, Google. Right up there and twist it around.

I'm switching back to a real browser.

Automating Google Chrome Dinosaur game

I swear to god Chrome is becoming the new IE.
For some fucking reason it decided to add additional few pixels or margin to an element and fucked up my layout.
Firefox? It works. Edge? Works. Fucking IE - WORKS. Chrome? Shits the bed.

What the actual fuck, Google? Weren't you supposed to be the one working properly?

Not to mention forced renaming my local .dev TLDs...

When a colleague left their computer without logging out, I created a shortcut to internet explorer, named it Google Chrome, and changed the icon to Chrome's icon. I couldn't remove Chrome's shortcut from the desktop or modify it because I didn't have permissions, so I turned of icon snapping and dragged it off the screen. I also replaced Chrome in the task bar with my fake icon. I then set the Internet Explorer to open a bunch of useless pages when it opens, set it to the default browser, and changed the search engine to Yahoo!

Google Chrome has adopted material design. Expecting a change request from the client to change it back to how it looked before.

OMFG I think I've just experienced my first shock for 10 seconds after watching my boss looking for a tab on chrome that had Google opened so he could paste the searching string.

No offence to anyone but I'm wondering why so many people go for Google chrome while chromium browser provides about the exact same browsing experience and speed etc but without Google's proprietary tracking shit. I know not everyone cares about their privacy but still wondering.

Good fucking lord, what has Google done to Chrome mobile 😱💩💩💩

I never thought a browser will come close to Chrome. But wow, Vivaldi is AWESOME. It's really fast and the tab organization is just amazing.

I just MS doesn't buy it soon :|

So today I got a new CPU after the old ones were decommissioned. A fresh new desktop.
"Where is my chrome I think."
"Oh ya", I open Internet Explorer, type Google.
Google delightfully asks," Want to try chrome?."
"Yes sir I do."

-This one never gets old!!

Die Hard fan of Google Chrome

Just wow. I had a fellow developer tell me to drop support for Google Chrome. I hate to break it to you but roughly 70% of our user base uses Google Chrome (Google Analytics proves this). Like seriously!

What do u have open when coding?

Me (PHP/NodeJS web development on a Mac):

CODING & TESTING
- MAMP PRO
- PhpStrom
- Navicat (for localhost MySql DB)
- Chrome
- Terminal

COMMUNICATION
- Slack
- Mail
- Messenger (for Google Chat)
- WhatApp Web
- Calendar

NOTE TAKING
- Evernote
- TextWrangler (for quick notes)

PSA:

Just started using Firefox nightly. It has an add on called "super dark mode" that automatically converts ANY site you visit to a dark theme.

#How the fuck did I use Chrome till now.

WTF Google?!

Have you guys seen Google Chrome Canary release? Google chrome 69 has a new interface that looks like Firefox 2014.

And everything is round now. Jeez. Do you guys like it?

Google Chrome on Mac OS has been updated... How does the interface looks?

Oh look a new chrome update!

*Installs update*

I regret everything!!!!

Come on Google I love material design but fuck me is the new update ugly... Besides the new tab page.

Could you please just install Google Chrome?

Duckduckgo is AWESOME :)
So happy I moved on from Chrome & Google (just searching for now, its a long process)

Dear Firefox,

I have huge respect for you. I appreciate you. But don't claim you use 30% less ram than Google Chrome. That's just a lie.

Yours sincerely,

700mb of ram with one tab open

Watching google (chrome) dev summits is always both a blessing and a curse, their constant masturbation makes you catch air just to not vomit, but then they give actual interesting insight into webpack features.

Fidget spinner tech has come really far.

Behold the digital fidget spinner:

Just figured out: If you're browsing open tabs in Google Chrome on android and you're persistent on pulling them up while on the first one, they will spin. 😀

Dear, google chrome browser. Please stop taking up so much RAM. You are a browser not a game. Worst browser ever.

Some genius at Google Chrome team just fucked up the minimise, close buttons of the application in KDE.

Thank man, just what I needed.

Chrome extension of Google Dictionary have a different definition for PHP

I wonder whether this is a bug in Chrome, or if it's just Google drawing the conclusion from my northern geo-position, that we still haven't left the stage of building longships, raiding England and Scotland, burning monasteries and writing awesome poetry and literature in weird characters sets.

Well, I'm not Ragnarr f*cking Loðbrók or Egill Skallagrímsson, so I can't read electronic component data sheets the way those guys did.

I'll go grab my chisel, so I can carve a bug report into a suitably flat stone and shove it down the TCP/IP series of tubes leading to Google.

Polling time :-

Can FIREFOX QUANTUM beat GOOGLE CHROME ???????..

Google Chrome scans private files on the computer without mentioning the user and without the possibility do disable this "feature". Google never announced this anywhere.
Someone (Kelly Shortridge, @swagitda_ on Twitter) found this randomly and confronted Google. It answered that this was only an AV scan and wasn't done more than once a week.
Well, THAT'S why I use Firefox. I don't trust Google, and again and again it gives more and more reasons for this mistrust.

Uhmm yeah I'm pretty sure I am already in Google Chrome...

Yesterday I talked to my client for 1 hour about a problem she has on my website. When she does something on the administrative website, internet explorer stops working.

Then I told her: "try Google Chrome or Firefox" and I explain why Chrome or Firefox should work. Today, she tells me that it does not work yet and sends me a picture of her screen with the problem (not a print screen, a cell phone photo, with the sun on the screen so I do not see the screen). It was the same problem as the other days. But she was on ... wait for it ... Edge (yes, she's on w10 and she uses Internet Explorer).

So I reply "try Chrome or Firefox.".
I said nothing else and she just thanks me for the help.

Whatsapp: "How about you update your browser?"

How about you fire your whole fucking team of genetically engineered super-retards, that is making whatsapp shittier with ever recently rotten braincell you guys claim to have, and just let me use your shitty spyware I need to use for the time being. Fucking hell don't you even dare pulling that bullshit excuse on me when my browser is based on chromium Aka the fucking same browser engine that is powering google chrome. Just for once stop playing along with google, take your update and put it where the sun doesn't shine, you data-whoring deadshits.

Isn’t it ironic that the only browser that can’t deal with Google Calendar’s importing is Chrome? It has been broken for months now.

OH FUCKING GREAT. GOOGLE CHROME UPDATE 53 JUST BROKE MY PARALLAX WEBSITE. FUCCCCKKKKK

From yesterday, I have made Firefox Developer edition my primary browser replacing chrome.

So far it's doing a great job. Its feel fast as chrome.

Some google site like docs or spreadsheet is lagging sometimes.

I still click on chrome time to time without realizing.

Let's see how far I can do with this experience.

Being a total beginner to web developmentz I just started working on my personal website. A simple static HTML/CSS page. And the fucking Google font wasn't working on Chrome. I worked perfectly on Firefox and even Microsoft Edge for fucks sake. Spent a good part of two hours trying to figure out what was wrong. Tried all sorts of shit suggested in a ton of SO pages and some of my own noob css tricks. Fuckin none of it worked! And then, just when I was about to Alt+F4 my way out of all that crap, I realized the page worked fine in incognito mode.
Turns out it was a fucking Chrome extension I was using for spell checking which was interfering with the fonts. Like what the fuck.

One of my customers' laptop background (removed sensitive information and desktop icons).

Coworker: When you really love Chrome, but don't know what hi-res is!

Me: OK, Google.
Google: Hi, how can I help?
Me: Open example.com
Google: OK, which browser?
Me: Google Chrome.
Google: Sorry, I didn't get you.
Me: Google Chrome.
Google: Sorry, I didn't get you again. Just say the name of the app.
Me: *Looks at the list and finds Chrome (without 'Google')* Chrome
Google: *Opens Chrome*

I couldn't reproduce it as the. Latest version of Google Assistant now opens the page in a WebView.

Conspiracy theory: Google sent rogue pro devs to work for IE and make it so bad everyone would come running to Chrome for a savior.

Go home Chrome, you're drunk

After seeing so many posts about Firefox quantum using so much RAM. I can say this

"Firefox quantum is new Google chrome"

A friend sent me this message today: Hey, I have a great idea! An app that remembers your address so that when you are buying something online you don't have to type in your address.

Me: - (giggling)
Me: That's a great idea! I use it everyday. It's called Google Chrome!

To the users who complain about small MS Edge banners on google.com, and on bing.
This kind of bullshit to convince users to download Google Chrome is 100 times worse.

RAM's deadliest archenemies: Chrome + Android Studio

Forced me to add a SWAP partition so that Linux doesn't shit itself, and it's almost filled up as well.

Not work but

Years ago when i was in middle school i wanted to mess with the school computers a bit so i made a desktop shortcut for shutdown and changed the name and icon to google chrome.
The person in charge of the it department freaked out and thought some kind of a massive virus infected everything.

Long story short turns out they had an event logger installed, figured out it was me and what i did...
I nearly got expelled 😑

So I did not notice that my google chrome had another window and I accidentally closed the 2 chrome windows in the wrong order. Now my 1st chrome window tabs are all gone. Stupid me 😅

Tell me why r u running

VMs.....You always have to install Google chrome... Can't OSs just include it in the installation? No Microsoft is forcing you to use Edge and Internet Explorer

Web dev prob:

When you modify a code then refresh your browser, It doesn't change anything and you think your code has the problem, Modifies 100+ lines and refreshed the page, still nothing happens. Asked someone about it, Fix? Fucking cache! Fuck you google chrome!

WhatsApp devs suck so bad.. they won't let me use it in Chromium 65+ because "It works with Google Chrome 36+".

Good job once again fuckwits.

(google creating Chrome Quantum and pushing to Nightly secretly)

I just received an email from a weird company they wanted to offer me 150 dollars monthly to insert a script in my google chrome extension, when I asked about the script they sent me a function called "malmare"...
...
Nice...

I like how Google basically kicked itself...

So foobar, seems Copy is disabled now.

But I just discovered that in Chrome, I can drag the highlighted text out of it to copy it.

:D Chrome ;) 😁😎😂😋

Go Home Microsoft -- Ur drunk

!rant
Bought a Chromebook last weekend. Best. Decision. I've. Made.
It's so great. It's so light, it uses USB C to charge (so when I go to visit my parents halfway across the country, I can bring 1 cable for my phone, switch, and laptop), and it's the perfect Android development device, since it runs Android apps and you can use Android studio within crouton.
I have never loved a new device so much, and I remember the days when I mocked Chromebooks because they sucked. Android app support turned that around.

Hmm, I find it highly peculiar that I let a friend borrow my pc to watch stranger things on Netflix, with her account.

I signed her into the guest account, she picked Google Chrome (not signed in).

Now my Facebook feed and YouTube adds are all about stranger things..

I get the ip gets logged & mapped.. But srsly.

The guts of Microsoft:
"Microsoft Edge is faster than Chrome
Based on a Google benchmark. Change immediately your browser"
Yes, when hell will freeze 😂

I made a New Year's Resolution to take more of an interest in my Internet privacy. Feel like it's something I should have done a long time ago. I've stopped using Google search (DuckDuckGo instead), moved away from my Gmail account (Tutanota instead) and stopped using Chrome (Firefox/Firefox Focus instead). I've had my Gmail account since they first announced it and you could only sign up if someone invited you. It felt good to delete 7000 emails and what I estimate must have been 13-14 years of Google/YouTube searches. Currently experimenting with VPNs, considering paying for ProtonVPN soon.

I'm addicted to dark theme everywhere. Dark Firefox, dark chrome, dark YouTube, dark devrant, dark Reddit, dark Google keyboard. What else can I make dark?

I spent hours figuring out why my html5 video autoplay didn't work on Android. I muted it like they said, I tried many different ways to play it, even with a 3rd party video player, nothing worked. It's actually because my Google Chrome was on data-saving mode. Motherfuck.

So... Google suggests to use Java(?)

People complain about the high RAM usage of IDEs in general, particularly Jetbrain's one.

... They have never experienced Google Chrome ...

Greetings from vacation btw ^^

Each time I try firefox after somebody mentions it again or it's in my rss feed, it still seems to never actually advance

It's stuck and either gets worse or goes back to its stable non improving level again, how come do they still not have a proper mobile responsive tester, why are even the upgraded addons still suffering the same container and rendering bugs

how is it more important getting bad image by implementing mr robot malware, than getting on an actual competitive level

why is it default bloated with random pocket addon bullshit, why did it begin to lag, ..

I remember when I was using firefox for a good portion of my life and laughed at how google chrome is laggy, but nowadays theres simply no competition to chrome, its stability and developer tools

I wish there was competition, the grid tools were a great start, but then nothing followed and they just went back to their never improving flatline

when you have so many tabs opened

The new Chrome update sucks.

Or is it just me who is facing this issue that Chrome freezes completely?

Google is going downhill?

I have no idea how the fuck it happens, but whenever my mom uses computer, somehow, she manages to end up with the stupid shit Ask and other useless shitty extensions taking over Google Chrome!

:/

WHY DOES GOOGLE CHROME CACHE THIS SHIT AND WON'T LOAD IT AGAIN. I THOUGHT I DIDN'T FIX THE BUG BUT GOOGLE CHROME IS THE BUG. THIS FLYING FUCK

Google Chrome, Visual Studio and Android studio are like a Gang on my machine.. they overtake however RAM is there

Microsoft Edge for android has an adblock now, yet Google Chrome still refuses to get one somehow.

When will people at Google realise that the majority of people nowadays want to browse the internet without seeing crap on their screen?

Good job Microsoft for actually trying to provide a better experience for the user.

No I don't hate Google as a company, I just pointed out something I find bad/annoying about them.

What's up with all of these unstable updates at the same time from Google and Microsoft?

First Microsoft releases an update that deletes My Documents

Then chrome on windows gets updated with a "eat your disk in addition to ram usage" that freezes my PC.

Like whatever happened to testing before releasing, least some minimal testing...

Then again, it's a fucking Microsoft product... -.-

When you are fasting and bored AF😂😂

Me: Can you Double Click on the Google Chrome Icon?
Customer: Left or right Button?

So saw that google released 'official' themes for chrome and thought fuck it, lets try it out...

Chrome will only use CSD if you use the default fucking GTK+ theme else it will revert to chromes custom icons...

Just how fucking lazy do you have to be for this to still be a thing?!

Anywhere I can sell my mother for enough RAM to run slack, google chrome, hyperterm and sublime?

Security Issues with Chrome:
My dad was just saying that his work wouldn't let him use Google Chrome because of its supposed 'security issuse'. Just wondered if anyone knew of any real 'security issuse' with chrome that are legitimate? Or is it all just rumours...

You never know pain untill your website redirect is working on edge and not chrome... Yet it's all google hosted...

*Eye twitches*

Google in their *infinite wisdom* has decided the .dev domain they bought should be forced to https in Chrome 63 fully knowing it's a common test gTLD for Web developers.

I started when I was 14, 6 years ago, and I was trying to create my "google chrome" in VB.net (yep, a browser)... Fortunately after that newbie beginning, I started to study IT seriously at a technical school, and now I'm a student of IT engineering at university.

Google Chrome chill! It's just our in house CMS code!!!!

Chrome is Drunk ? or i'm the drunk one. 😬😬😬 . appCodeName = Mozilla ? i think i'm the drunk

Not much of a haxk, just a stupid thing that works.

In my hs videogame programming class, the teacher has this program called LANSchool (most of you have heard of it) which he used to restrict apps/browsers to the point of uselessness . He didn't (and still doesn't) know anything about the stuff he 'teaches', most is tought by TAs.

Here's the dumb part: he WHITELISTED APPS. A friend, one of the TAs, figured out that if you rename something 'Google Chrome', lanschool wouldn't care. So I got Chromium (for unblocked internet) and switched its blue icons in the exe for original chrome icons, then renamed it 'Google Chrime'. Woo.

LANSchool is such a bad program (you can even unblock a site by spamming the F key for refresh).

The teacher did, and still does, treat the TAs like trash. He's a babysitter while students listen to online vids and the TAs.

I bet that all web devs can confirm this.
-You spend hours writing the code, and then open it on google chrome but nothing works :-( so you try to fix it spending another hour and at the end of the day you think: "let me try with firefox" and magically everything works percectly. And after all this there is only one thing to do and is 'sudo apt purge google-chrome' LOL

How Mark Zuckerberg tells Bill Gates that his company is retarded.

Whatsapp works with M$ Edge 13+
DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION OF WINDOWS 10 or use Google Chrome, Firefox... 😂😂😂 -- No. you can't just download M$ Efge 13+ it won't work

So Google apparently removed the most important Chrome feature:

"Toolbar auto-hide in fullscreen"

This change came with the new UI recently and there are no #flags around to fix it

Previously the chrome browser was easy to use as a multi-tasking machine, but now it feels really dumb.

This resulted in a loss of 15% of screen-real estate.

Please give me back my choice

First experience with Android: our professor of Software Engineering gave us a project about building an app for University indoor geolocation using BLE beacons.
Just found out that only a few PhD-level dudes did such a thing with much fewer good results.
Sounds like when your average-hedidnotrealizedwhataprogrammeris-friend asks you if you are able to hack Google Chrome.

Google Chrome’s new update should be enough reason to shift to firefox

Google Chrome: Stealing RAM since 2008

Virus Rant: Unwanted folder keep creating itself after deleting it.

Windows Defender detected some malware & cryptominer exist and originated from Chrome folder

Solution: Remove completely Chrome and stick with Microsoft Edge for now!

I cant believe I am removing Chrome and stick with Microsoft Edge.

Lesson learn: please be vigilant at all time.

When the browser reads 'clas' as 'class' and things oddly work as expected. But when you fix it to be 'class' everything breaks horrifically.

Of course the first thing I do when I sat at my desk is to update my Firefox. And I realized that chrome also needs an update.

I remember clearly that I just updated everything yesterday. So Google released updates on the same date as Mozilla.

Coincidence? Don't think so.

Ugh time for my first google chrome rant... thing...

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, finished an arch linux install, fixed my slow internet connection in linux, installed only the things I need, vs code and google chrome but fuck me!

Google chromes performance is sinking like a rock, dropping about 25-40% of frames in youtube, slow page loading and the sort.

Installed firefox to ensure it wasn't my system and its all running perfect, I don't like using firefox and want to go back to the warmth of chrome, anyone able to help on this one :-(

Google knows i accidentally use EDGE browser and they want me back to chrome. Oh Google !

Google want to take over entirely, although all we know edge is use by .0001% people this days 😂😂😂😂😂

Chrome 63 forces .dev domains to HTTPS via preloaded HSTS.

Well, FUCK YOU google. Why do you even give a shit of my local proxy.

Fuck Google Chrome cache.

For almost an hour, sat and tried to make changes to a react UI but unfortunately nothing's changing. Started to worry and doubt myself.
Even thought of getting myself the yellow duck! But fuck no , little did I realise that Chrome "intelligently" fetched my page from cache even though I was using incognito! Had to re-open the browser to realise that.

How did I find out you ask? I thought why not fucking open the same page in Mozilla . Why? Because why not?! But I still can't believe that I wasted a whole fucking hour due to that piece of shit called cache!

Install windows
Open internet explorer
Download google chrome
Remove internet explorer from existence

- this is the kind of hate ie gets

opening (and closing) 400 tabs/hour with Google Chrome means Chrome will now memflood all my 32GB of RAM in less than an hour now! ... someone call Guinness World Records

Internet Explorer is the best until you have to use it to download Firefox or Google Chrome. 😂😀😁

Privacy nightmare!

So i had bought a second hand iPhone and it seemed the phone was reset as it had only the default apps.

But as soon as I downloaded Google Chrome on to it, things started to get weird. When i opened the newly downloaded Google Chrome app, it showed someone else's Google account already logged in Chrome. I went to the Chrome settings and the account section gave me full control over this person's Google account.

Not wanting any trouble, i didn't go further and removed that account from the browser.

I then logged in to Google Chrome via one of my "project specific" google account i had created months ago and it added fine. But guess what I found when checking out safari browser.

Safari has somehow synced bookmarks from my main & personal Google account!!

I'm just stunned. I didn't even provide gmail id of my personal Google account and safari somehow was able to get bookmarks from it.

I'm kind of scared now. 😵

One of my coworkers calls Firefox "Google". Oddly enough she also uses Chrome but calls it "Chrome". I get confused every time she asks me to help her with her computer.
