Goodby Google Chrome (a rant)

A couple nights ago for the first time I had Google “alert” me to “an unknown device” logging in to my gmail account using my password. After much screwing around to change my password and re-allow my non-Google email client I finally located a subtle little wedge that provided details of said attacker. The IP address was for my ISP router! Uggh! What **** system that didn’t recognize the address that literally every device in my house has been transmitting from for years.

I’ve often referred to Google as the 90% company. Such beautiful data and applications but always missing the mark just a little on usability, then changing it repeatedly only to still miss.

I have no issues. Clear your browser cache and dump your cookies every so often. That's an issue with every browser.

I'm having trouble with live video on one of my wife's favorite websites, Mt. Ashland live webcam.

I was a big Firefox user for many years but switched to Chrome. No ISSUE, EVER.

Working fine here.

Hmmm, Chrome is working fine for me, haven't seen any changes.

Still using Chrome. you can turn the pop up blocker off (As I recall) I'm not having issues with passwords on most sites. I do have 2 that bug me. but I tried alternate browsers on one of those and .. same bug.

It's (Google, not just Chrome) been creeping in the wrong direction for a few weeks, it seems.
Excessive false alarm security alerts, are driving me nuts to the point where I'm disabling many of the security features that used to be non-intrusive.
Removing smartphone app access to contacts/phone book/phone numbers is crippling some of the most useful phone apps going.

X2...changed this weekend, just had enough!
