Why does Chrome need an update every few days

That nasty green update box appeared this morning and I just updated on Wednesday.

It is like my phone apps, a constant annoyance.

Build it right the first fucking time.

No one?

They're probably constantly fine-tuning their tracking of your online behavior.

Switch to Firefox. Google is a rubbish company.

It shouldn't. Spesk to a technician. Your phone or whatever you are using is not uploading it correctly.

They may not be testing the change well enough. If you get an update and then another a day or so later it is usually to fix a bug they missed. I see it occasionally with Microsoft and recently with my Verizon phone.

Google and Microsoft work very closely with the NSA. Many of the updates are driven by NSA backdoor needs. It is what it is.

I don't like the new chrome - for some reason when I scroll down on DL for example, it sort of blurs and strains my eyes....it's too "powerful" or something. I tried to switchback back it kept updating - then I tried to stop the update function, but you need a degree in computers to work out how to do it, so I switched to Opera and I really like it, though it can be slow sometimes.

I don't like Firefox be sure the search line is at the bottom.

Pity brittle old OP. She doesn't like change and knows only to resist it.

by Anonymousreply 8November 21, 2020 11:24 AM

I had been using opera, but now just use the DuckDuckGo app.

OP, Get off the internet, I think it is over your head.

As a web programmer, who has worked with a lot of browsers, I can say Chrome is the best.

Firefox is a snooty perfectionist

Ooooo, R10 is a sassy bitch!

R10= Only codes for Chrome and ignores the 10,000 complaints clogging the corporate feedback Inbox.

by Anonymousreply 12November 21, 2020 1:47 PM

Just because 10,000 idiots complain, that doesn't mean that their complaints are valid. Look at the guy above who said he doesn't like the search box at the bottom of the screen. That's a setting you can easily change. "The screen gets blurry" doesn't even make sense and is probably a problem with the computer created by the user.

Aging eyes!

I'm not even going to say more about the blurry screen when I scroll - all I'll get is a gurl puhlease and no one wants that. NO ONE!
