Google Chrome aka browser of the future ... a bright future

I've been using Google Chrome quite successfully for a year and a half - my browser is smart, it leaves the web pages a lot of space, minimalist (and I love it).

There is, however, one unpleasant feature - the browser periodically hides checkboxes in forms. By the way, he also hides radio buttons with great pleasure. At the same time, they can be clicked and they work fine - you will not find fault with it.

In due time I used a beta and it confused me - they would correct it again. Now I have version 3 and Chrome still eats checkboxes. I became interested in the question, and it turned out that in the new version 4 this was also not fixed:

However, these are all emotions (this morning the Google Calendar hid all the checkboxes from me again). It's funny to read about workarounds to this problem (which, by the way, Google has not been able to fix for more than a year):

  1. Open a new window in Firefox or Internet Explorer , then close (aaaaaa!) - checkboxes sometimes appear
  2. Press Ctrl-Alt-Del, close the Task Manager, then Reload.
  3. Click Taskbar - Properties - OK. The problem disappears for a few minutes .
  4. Restart the computer (this is, apparently, if nothing at all helped)


This summer, Google posted a new version and suggested that everyone try a special key, --disable-winsta . This solution seems to have helped a lot, except that the problem still arose in GMail . This is becoming more and more fun - in 2010, Chrome will come in with a proudly open critical bug.

What conclusions can be made? I have to state the following:

Google is absolutely, absolutely not ready to develop desktop applications.


(This, by the way, is Ashmanov’s opinion, which I share.)

Google does not have the appropriate infrastructure or experience to develop and support desktop solutions (and these are hundreds of thousands of different hardware configurations and operating systems). What the hell is Google OS! Will the standard Google approach work - buy a ready-made company that seriously does this - to be honest, I doubt it. Compare at least Microsoft Knowledge Base and Google technical support forum - frankly, in this direction Google has not yet grown out of kindergarten. In general, let's see, let's see. This post is written under Firefox.
