Google Chrome is equivalent to IE to me now. It does things which don't make any sense. One of my latest frustration is the auto-translate feature.<p>This text:<p>Click and hold a bar below to delay its respective bus. Note how even a short delay causes the buses to bunch together after a while.
Hover over a stop to see its history. The area of the curve is cumulative wait time. Bunching makes the area grow.<p>Gets auto translated to:<p>Click and hold a bar below to delay su respectivo bus. Note que incluso a short delay causes the buses to bunch juntos después de a while.
Hover over una parada to see su historia. The area of the curve is cumulative tiempo de espera. Bunching hace que el área grow.<p>I have tried to set the language setting to both ON/OFF for the "offer to translate" option.<p>There are some "full english" websites where the "translating" widget would keep spinning and blocking functionality on the UI. The only language I have configured in the browser is "English".<p>Google Chrome is dead to me.
Chrome suffers from gluttony. I need to restart it 10-15 times a day as it starts using gigabytes of memory. When I have 10-15 tabs open, my MacBook Air fan is always on. Safari is the best. For tabs with the same URLs, it uses times less memory and CPU. I've used FirefoxDeveloperEdition for a while and I still prefer it over Chrome. I only got mad once as One-Tab data file (a single JSON) got wiped out, and a few thousand links disappeared from this universe forever with no way to restore it. Then I spent the last four months using Chrome and I'm going back to Firefox, which has the best balance of features and gluttony. I really had a much higher opinion about Google's engineering talent, but the growing pile of crap that Chrome is becoming is starting to stink beyond tolerance.
I just wanted to say that I've never had this problem before, but the problems I do have with chrome are what people such as sophos has such as: the flash player crashing, certain webpages "memory hogging". I use both Google's chrome and chrome copy that uses less memory and is generally much better for watching flash videos while still compatible with adblock, and other chrome extensions.<p>The new bookmark UI really bugs me though, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.
I switched to Safari because my battery lasts far, far longer this way.<p>The only time I use Chrome is for the occasional site that still requires Flash. But that's getting rarer each month...
They ruined chrome:
auto translate crap..,
tabs are getting to damn high CPU,
flash players crash the browser sometimes
and many more "great features"
