Google Chrome 15+

Hello, Chrome is a great app and especially the best because you also can’t delete it. In Chrome, I would love a new feature that you can take a photo of something like an artwork for example and then it will come up with the full picture. I do art classes and I would love to find the pictures they put in the books. So can you make something that you can take a picture and then it will originally give you the image you’re looking for or related images. Overall, this is great! :)

I just updated to the latest and I’m seriously annoyed. The discover section is so…enlarged. I don’t want to have to scroll so much to see all of what’s being suggested to me. Unlike before it’s all more or less basically visible on the screen at a glance with minimal scrolling. I understand some people might like to see enlarged thumbnails but it would be nice to have viewing options as I personally prefer to see less.

In addition, I used to be able to remove/dismiss discover suggested articles with a swipe of the finger. Now i am forced to manually click … and then click ‘hide this’. Again, it’d be nice to have a quick way to deal with this. If there’s a way to currently do so, I’d like to know since nothing I’ve done works.

Finally, the translate banner is no less frustrating to use too. Previously I could easily switch from original to translated language just by tapping on the banner which allows you to switch back and forth. Now I actually have to click the translate icon, then click translate or show original each time I want to switch back and forth. It doesn’t help that the banner keeps vanishing after a few seconds and to get it up again requires you to click the translate icon.

I honestly wish I hadn’t updated

That said, I’m glad there is no longer a ‘close all’ button which can be accidentally tapped. So that’s a pro at least.

I’ve always loved google/chrome/gmail BUT!!! lately all I ever seem to do is login 1500 times a session!! I actually don’t get anything done, just endless logins from one space to another. Even turning on Chrome I get a drop down telling me to verify it’s me and I follow the prompts, logging in 5 times to get there and then see that everything is good and go back to the webpage and BOOM!! Drop down to verify it’s me!!! I go from phone apps to my laptop and still am persistently having to log in over and over again!! Keeps asking for a password which I don’t have as I was led to believe passwordless was easier. Seems my face, fingerprint, Authenticator and phone call isn’t enough…. Tired of trying to work out these changes. The more google tried to be like Microsoft, the less I’m liking it!! Even the search sessions only give me reddit results, nothing like the broad interest like in the beginning of google search. Really disappointed!!
