http://chobas.com/blog Just another WordPress weblog Sat, 28 Jul 2012 07:08:47 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= http://chobas.com/blog/2009/09/23/chrome-gripes/ http://chobas.com/blog/2009/09/23/chrome-gripes/#comments Thu, 24 Sep 2009 01:14:15 +0000 Thomas http://chobas.com/blog/?p=819 Chrome doesn’t:

• Expose proxy settings through the ui (they’re set via environment variables). So if I want to change them, I have to go to the cli to set env vars, then restart chrome.
• Display link urls in the status bar when I hover over links. Apparently it does this. Don’t know what I was smoking.
• Let me middle click in the body of the page to load a new url (this is fixed upstream, but not in the versions I’m running).
• Allow css ad blocking (http://www.floppymoose.com/).
• I have to add a trailing slash to the end of everything so it doesn’t try to do a web search for whatever I type.
• Update: Doesn’t let you hit ‘/’ to start searching.
• Update: When searching doesn’t let you hit enter when matching a link to go to that link.
• Update: It seems to take its sweet time sometimes doing what appears to be a dns lookup on the proxy. TTLs anyone?
• Update: Selected text isn’t automatically the desired search text when opening the search box.
• Update: Can’t shift delete mistyped urls in the omnibox.
• Update: Chrome automatically selects text when the omnibox gains focus, clobbering anything I had in my clipboard. Something similar happens with the find field, but it’s that whatever I had in the clipboard goes away completely.
• Update: Can’t control click and drag to select multiple rows of a single column in an html table.
• Update: When selecting space delimited text, pressing delete/backspace will actually delete more than is actually selected.
• Update: Backspace no longer goes to the previous page.
