I do not really like google chrome anymore.
 

It was pressuring me to sign in and i was already signed in. I signed in again, and it cleared out all of my bookmarks and everything. Now i am using firefox.

I was a firefox user until I had issues with firefox and Facebook. Then I switched to Chrome. Now I sometimes have issues with Chrome and think about changing back (plus, they never built a full-blown firebug for Chrome!). I do hate that I have to stare at my username in the upper right corner of Chrome and I can't remove it even though I am the only user!

It sounds like you were adding bookmarks while not logged in.

You all know Chrome is just Safari, with lipstick on that pig and google's adware and spyware added, right?

And to Lynne - I never had any issues with FF and FB.

What's Firebug have that Chorme's dev tool doesn't? I tried FireBug once and saw it abbreviated the post values in the network mode with an ellipsis. Well, I wanted to know what the heck the post value was. That's why I looked. Anyway I get along with Chrome's version just fine.

No. I was logged in and it said to log in in a different place near the top, so i did. Then it messed up my bookmarks. I tried to log out, and after i did all of the cookies and all of my bookmarks were gone.

what is firebug?

Firebug is a great little free tool that coders, web designers etc use to view and pinpoint the code in a web page to help them find stuff easier to fix code or work with it. FIREBUG.

I use FireFox, tried Chrome. I was not impressed. Cannot stand IE, its horrible IMO. Currently I'm having some issues with FF but i think its because I really need to run my anti-spyware stuff.

I'm on the Beta update channel and work in the Dev and have for years.

For what? Firebug or Firefox?

Firefox.

So did your bookmarks bar empty, or did it reset to the default bookmarks?


I was about to say, I never really saw much difference between Firebug and the Developer Tools. It seems they fundamentally do the same thing with, maybe, some minor distinctions in how you get to some menus. Maybe there's some deeper function I've not run into, yet.

It removed my bookmarks bar. All it said was "click here to import bookmarks" where all of my bookmark were.

Ah! Cool.

This is gonna sound silly, but when you hit Ctrl+Shift+B, does anything happen?

Chrome's dev tools have a lot of the stuff I need, but I like the firebug interface better. You can see template names in firebug and you may easily add CSS to any of the CSS files. I'm just very comfortable using firebug.

For dev tools, Firebug > IE11 = Chrome > default firefox debug for me anyway.

Chrome is a nice browser, and the only thing that bugs me is we're starting to see what happened with IE6. People are going out of their way to do chrome things for chrome, instead of web standards.

You login to save your bookmarks, apps, settings, history, passwords, etc in the cloud. This allows you to jump right in where you left off when using another computer or mobile (work vs home).

You can always disconnect your Google Account via Settings.

I personally prefer Chrome but do use the dev tools on both Chrome and Firefox.

The only thing I use google chrome for is to use mightytext so I can text on my phone through the browser. There may be a plugin for firefox but it's what I setup on chrome so I've continued to use it.

I use Hangouts for that, as well. Though, they have one now that's a desktop version. Requires using Google Voice, as well.

I used to love Firefox until I started to have some problems and noticed that Chrome starts a lot faster. I know that's partly because of the extensions in Firefox but I use the same extensions in Chrome and it has no issues starting at all. I rather use the dev tools of Chrome than something such as Firebug in Firefox, it works much smoother.

My experience exactly. But now I keep getting a popup that wants me to update my profile on Google or something like that. The certificate seems to be expired and if this thing is legit I think Google knows more about me than I want anyway.

Thinking of going back to firefox or try Opera (though I think Google owns that too now)

Google & Microsoft seem to own everything nowadays.....

They don't own them. But they did run opt-in Google Ads for a time, and now they somehow generate revenue through their search engine, though I'm fuzzy on the details of how that works. I just know it's contractual. But they're two separate entities.

Give it time man, give it time.....lol

Well, I think technically they both are webkit based, now. So, Chrome and Opera are not all that dissimilar, in that respect.

I haven't actively used Opera in years other than...Does the site work in Opera? Yes? Great Going back to FF now lol.

Last time I checked. I have most of the major browsers for dev purposes, but unless I'm just finishing up a project, I hardly ever open them.

I was able to get my bookmarks back so i am using google chrome again!
