Chrome Sucks

7 Top Tips and Resources for Google Chrome


Google introduced the beta version of its open source Chrome browser nearly two months ago, and issued its third update to the beta yesterday. (The update pushes to you automatically if you're running Chrome.)


In an age where windows updates (and anti-virus updates, it's happened a few times) routinely break your computer and send you off to the repair shop for big bucks , and they don't reimburse you for this , in an age where windows updates do more to enforce their vender lock and strangle the competition than to improve their product or plug security holes (most "security holes" are infact an excuse to make some competitors package stop running on windows, duel booting linux comes to mind) ...

You have the gall to start another product with "automatic updates" on it that goes berserk and does whatever the heck it likes and the average user is simply stuck with whatever you , the big business , thinks is best for *YOUR* profit line and you don't give a rats behind about the actual user ?

And make no mistake about it , that is EXACTLY what this big business called Google is thinking.

Dump the thing in the trash can and move on.

I know of a couple of programs that can download arbitrary code, a catch phrase meaning they download any program they like and do anything they like to your system, always to their benifit and your detriment. Most virus scanners flag these programs as hostile and neutrilize them , but they always seem to miss a few.

Specifically ....
Windows with live update on
Any anti-virus program with automatic updates turned on
Google Chrome
Any program at all with automatic updates turned on

I run my system, not your turkeys ! And it runs just fine with automatic updates turned off. I have no virii , no trojens , no slow downs, and I monitor things with netstat every now and then and there are no weird connections apearing at random.

You guys are just not trustworthy. Period.
