Chrome update tackles what is the most annoying problem on the web

article published on 23 March, 2018

The internet is decades and decades old already, and more specifically even the web, the world wide web as it was once known, has come of age a decade ago, depending on how you define adulthood and start of the WWW. Most of you probably still can think of a few problems with the undoubtedly revolutionary technology that has brought all information in the world to our fingertips.

I don't trust this at all. This is the same company that has been out-right censoring things in both their search engine and video platform for a long time now. And now people look at the browser automatically blocking things as a positive?

For personal use this means basically nothing to me; I only use Chrome when there is some website that is terribly written and only works on Chrome.

However, I do use Chrome at work. I asked why we run Chrome instead of Firefox and was told that it was because Firefox is open source and that's somehow a bad thing for security. Sure, chrome is mostly open source...but the built-in spyware isn't, so I guess that's better for security? That's all I can figure since a clean Chromium isn't approved. I was also reminded that we have Edge and Internet Explorer too...for that high security browsing! Hey, if it's useless on my end it must be useless to crackers too, right??? I could probably run FF portable, but then I have to worry about getting s**t from IT for running unapproved software...I already have a strike for using bulk rename utility to turn 4 hours of typing into a few clicks and a 20 second wait...plus all sorts of website violations for going to our own suppliers and customers, many of which are classified as arms dealers...because they are...and so are we. Ah, corporate logic.

So...if you have no control over your system, you can't unplug the speakers, and you are stuck with Chrome, then I guess this is a good feature.
