متصفّح Google Chrome ١٧+

After using this browser for almost 15 years, it’s a very reliable browser. It can literally be downloaded on any OS, I have it on an old iPad that can’t even download the App Store yet chrome runs perfectly fine. Although I do feel like chrome should implement a feature where if a site has way too many ads they automatically get blocked or ads get reduced because that’s a very common problem that I face. I also feel like chrome is decently customizable although there are still some options that could be implemented. Another massive problem that chrome has is that it’s very resource dependent, even though it can run fine on any device, the device must be able to give most of its resources to chrome, so if it had a limiter or was less resource intensive then I feel like it would be the PERFECT browser.

I’ve been using the mobile version of Chrome ever since it came out. I loved it! It was always super quick, it was familiar and easy to use, and you can use your plugins with it.

It wasn’t until recently when things went downhill. There are so many bugs with it now, and some that have been there for literally half a year that have been left unaddressed. From a massive company like Google, you’d think they try to fix these issues, right? Well, if I rotate my phone, the window just will not work for me. It will shrink the size and just be incredibly frustrating to use. This bug has been with me since SEPTEMBER of 2020. Four months this issue has been here, and the Chrome forum/FAQ is reporting the same issue. It has not been fixed, and I feel like they haven’t even attempted to fix it. I had to move back to Safari because it’s just not full of bugs and issues.

I really like Chrome for a lot of reasons, but when bugs and other issues have been left unfixed for this long, it’s just not worth my time anymore. Once these bugs are fixed, this will be back on top, but in the meantime, I’d recommend to not waste your time and energy using this browser.

Desktop, mobile, Windows, Linux, doesn’t matter. This is THE worst browser. Even Edge is better than this trash. Slow, memory hogging, unstable browser no matter where you use it. This has to come along with all the Google bloatware, good thing Apple is left out, but they have their own bloatware. Delete all Google apps, but you still won’t be able to escape them. Also, it’s Gulf of Mexico. There goes Google, trying to erase history. Wish they’d stop bowing down to America’s tyrant like every company is. I wish we could have stopped him when we had the chance. Yes, this review is bias, but the first two paragraphs are fact.

Also, Firefox isn’t any better if you’re thinking of switching to it. Slow and unstable as Chrome, only a bit better, isn’t even nearly as private as other browsers, or things you could do yourself (thanks Mozilla), and they bow down to Google. Literally the only reason it still exists, but it’s a start. I wouldn’t recommend Firefox to anyone, but if you’re just looking to get away from Chrome, then it’s pretty good alternative for a beginner, but there is better when you move on.
