CODYQX4 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 As a heavy user of extensions, this new update is a festering pile of shit. I already have a lot of icons, and so I hid them. I was greeted with 2/3 of my toolbar in icons because they thought they'd "help" me by giving all of my extensions an icon. So I hid them all, only to end up with 4 rows of icons in the hamburger menu. In their infinite wisdom, you can't sort this at all. The most recent extension you hid goes to the top left-most spot. I sort mine in some sane pattern of usage (such as all the adblock/privacy stuff is sequential. Easy to see uMatrix when it's next to uBlock as opposed to randomly in between a bunch of other stuff. Then, now there's no more icons in the omnibar. No more IP Country Domain Flag at a glance, or Vanilla Cookie manager. I now have to either have them to the right of the omnibar or open up the hamburger menu. If I want to reshow an icon? Have to click it and with lightning quick reflexes, add it back to the toolbar, because if you don't do it in half a second the context menu dismisses. If I want to use one of those hidden extensions? It closes the hamburger menu, pops the extension in, and the controls are probably not where I want them to be, and a very good chance it dismisses or is in a very awkward place. Oh, and the real rub? I use developer editions of uMatrix/uBlock as well as extensions I made for my self that I can't be assed to put on the Chrome Web Store, reviews for every update, pay to be a dev, get feedback/complaints about something I made for me and me alone. So every time I start Chrome I get warned about developer mode extensions with a damn alert. Google, thanks for taking my user experience and making it tortuous in a misguided attempt to protect the lowest common denominator of noob. Meanwhile, Firefox slit it's own throat a long time ago and none of those forks work on OS X, nor will they innovate when Firefox dies. I hope they roll this back. Their last bookmark manager was an abomination and after enough bitching they got rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered what was going on when all my fucking extensions showed..I hid them and now I see them under the hamburger.. WTF. I hid them for a reason.. I can imagine if you have a lot of them then that'll really make your hamburger menu a fucking hamburger. Gonna tweet em about this.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You load your browser full of shit extensions that render it very unsecure and then blame Google for their attempts to make the browser more secure by showing all the extensions you are trying to hide. Quit your bitchin' and move on if you don't like it. Can't believe the senseless posts some people make as if anyone really cares what the fuck you do with your browser. Just being the honest asshole I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just being the honest asshole I am. I fail to see how anything you said had any value. Tell me again how me loading a security extension from outside the webstore is insecure? I'm being nagged because someone with no common sense wouldn't notice a malware extension. A lot of my extensions revert annoying browser behavior as well, because no company respects choice anymore. Firefox is going the same path. You need a dozen addons to make Firefox usable these days. They're not adding any security. The clueless will mindlessly click and ignore anything Google does, making it only a hindrance to power users. You say move on but there's no alternative. Opera = Chrome clone. Safari = shit, IE = shit, Firefox = dying losing all user customization trying to become Chrome clone. Firefox forks = dead the day Firefox dies, all they do is reuse old Firefox code.

Administrator DKT27 Posted March 4, 2016 Administrator Share Posted March 4, 2016 Wait some time, a good, trustable browser with it's own engine has to appear. Not made by current makers of the browsers but a new one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
