Why Google Can Suck a Big Prolapsed rear end in a top hat:
Google owns YouTube, hates Flash, Firefox, and Facebook, and wants everything on the internet to go to HTML5 with no user privacy so they can shovel a poo poo mountain of ads down our throats.
1. gently caress this bullshit of Google+. I now have settings in Gmail, Google+, YouTube, and Chrome, for loving everything! If I want to change something in YouTube, sometimes the setting is in YouTube, and sometimes it's in Chrome. Sometimes it's in both loving places and turning off a "feature" in one does nothing while turning it off in the other might fix it.
Take chat or notifications for instance. Gmail has settings to enable or disable notifications. Chrome also has settings to enable or disable notifications. YouTube also has loving notification settings, and instead of emailing you poo poo to your Gmail account it's now going soley to your Google+ account.
Instead of loving making ONE product that does all of this poo poo, they're trying to run like 20 different loving apps that don't loving work and they don't loving talk to each other. You turned off notifications in Gmail and YouTube and Chrome? Sorry, but loving Google+ Hangouts is still going to send you poo poo.
2. YouTube functionality loving sucks now. You can't do anything on YouTube without using a Google+ account. You can't post, comment, rate, vote, or loving do anything! Google pulled this poo poo because no one on the loving planet wants to use Google+! NO ONE! Go look up their loving feedback threads! Everyone on the planet loving hates Google+ and doesn't want to use it!
They also added a little check box that is automatically checked whenever you try to post a comment on YouTube, that says "also share with Google+" which not only shares the comment on your Google+ page, but the loving video as well! This loving bullshit is just to get stupid users forgetting to uncheck the box to post tons and tons of poo poo on their Google+ pages so they can doctor their stats and show everyone this huge loving spike in Google+ usage! It's a loving outright lie!
Plus, say I hate a loving video and comment as such, forget to uncheck the box, and bam, it's on my loving Google+ page that I don't even want. Now if anyone views my Google+ page they get to see me advertising this video I hate, giving them free exposure! Not only that, but if you want to remove it, you have to log into your loving Google+ page and choose to delete the post with the video, which then deletes the original post on YouTube, forcing you to go back and repost with the loving box unchecked!
This kind of loving straight up bullshit is going to have 99% of YouTube users just lazily leaving that loving box checked, sending Google+ "usage" through the roof, getting all their little dickhead CEOs huge bonuses from the fuckface shareholders. OMFG ALREADY!
3. Chrome's built in Flash extension doesn't loving work, and it doesn't loving disable itself when you install real Flash, creating a conflict by trying to run both loving Flash extensions at once, bogging the poo poo out of your bandwidth and memory if you have anything Flash running. They've never fixed it, only hidden the error menus that used to pop up, and are making everyone think it's Flash's fault, because they want everyone to start using HTML5, of which they are invested in financially.
4. Unless you install an extension, you cannot prevent Chrome from saving your History. It also changed its loving launch screen to these little thumbnails of "most-used" sites so when you open a new tab it shows what it thinks you use the "most." So say some loving program gets in and spams the poo poo out of you with ads from kiddie porn sites, then boom, your whole loving start page is thumbnails of kiddie porn. Nice.
5. YouTube has been letting everyone disable their Google+ connected account, but finally took it away, and won't let you comment or do anything on YouTube until you re-enable it, and each time it tries to re-enable the bullshit, it tries to create a new Google+ page for the same YouTube account, so accidentally fumbling around I had like six loving Google+ pages with the same loving name linked to my YouTube account, and they allllllllll loving turned notifications and chat back on, so now I'm getting random pings and ding-a-lings in Chrome, my Gmail, and a little loving notification icon Chrome proc'd in my loving taskbar, so I had to go and delete every last loving redundant page, and triple check loving chat and notification settings in no less than 10 different loving places to get rid of it.
6. You can't do half of the poo poo you need to fix something in Chrome unless you go into its hidden loving settings for plugins, extensions, and switches. Even though everyone is complaining about being unable to turn off History and the lovely home tab menu and the Flash plugin and notifications and chat, Google is not listening, and as posters on their feedback forums leave information on how to manually edit the switches in Chrome's hidden menus, Google follows them up by removing those switches.
OMFG GOOGLE YOU loving SUCK AND loving HOPE YOU loving DIE!!!

I hate that you can't change anything about the way chrome looks. the way it handles tabs is abysmal compared to firefox, so i generally use firefox

except anything related to videos at all makes firefox run like complete poo poo on an i7. my laptop fan starts spinning like crazy and if it ever decides to load (after 20 seconds of hardlocking the browser), it runs like poo poo and i can't do anything else on this i7 laptop with 16gb of rams

so now whenever i am browsing the web on firefox and i want to watch a video, i copy and paste the URL and watch it in chrome :negative:

your Firefox is broken, make a new profile and/or reinstall.

this is one of the hallmarks of firefox, poo poo spontaneously breaking over time for no apparent reason and requiring you to completely nuke your profile

I use chrome at work for salesfarce and ie for our lovely intranet site which is half sharepoint and half links to word docs on the network drive, ie handles bookmarks better but chrome has better everything else. I use Firefox at home but I have to restart it every few days because it leaks memory like a sieve and suddenly stops responding anytime you click on something and even if you close all tabs it takes 2gb of memory. welp that's my story
