Holy poo poo it's so ugly

The specific thing I disabled was "Chrome Refresh 2023". Guess I need to actually find a new Chromium-like browser to use for non-Firefox things soon

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Thanks for this both - the new UI was loving awful, especially displaying tabs. Some of them have a line to separate, some of them don't! Why? Who knows! Which tab do I have active? Who knows - there's nothing in the UI to indicate this!

No, it seems like right now the windows build is just getting started, and is barely different than chrome. It doesn't even have a settings menu.

Seems like they update weekly though, so excited to see where it goes, but way to early to get excited at this point.

Here is a nice video I found showing it off, and showing where it's at at this point.

Is there any reason my audio in chrome would be uncharacteristically quiet? It's hard to hear youtube and twitch, but the mixer appears fine:


That's as high as the chrome audio bar seems to peak. The windows system noises are loud, but anything in browser seems quiet.

I don't understand why I can't harass people online. Seriously, somebody please explain why I shouldn't be allowed to stalk others on social media!
How do I disable the touchpad gesture where scrolling left = clicking on the back button? In Firefox it's browser.gesture.swipe.left in about :config but I don't see anything similar in Chrome.

I found this:

https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/5616407/how-do-you-turn-off-the-back-trackpad-gesture?hl=en

But I have no chrome://flags/#overscroll-history-navigation flag.

Sometimes you're reading an article and halfway down they have a button to continue and reveal the rest of it. I'm sure this is some ad boosting trickery, but I'm wondering if someone can explain why/how this is

Nitter’s days are numbered, unfortunately. The instance I use, nitter.poast.org, is still kicking, but when it dies, I just don’t think I’ll bother any more.

Probably makes it easier to throw up a paywall after a certain number of articles have been read instead of a button to show more of the article.

Forcing an interaction with the page changes some rules about cookie expiration/blocking. Probably for paywall tracking and tracking in general.

Chrome just popped up something asking if I wanted to use AI for some dumb poo poo. I quickly dismissed it, but I'm wondering if there are any flags I need to set to makre sure...

Wondering about this too. What are people switching to now that Chrome continues to get worse?

Arc (can't speak for the Windows beta) and Firefox are the best two

Chrome has updated its UI for me, I've reset flags and redisabled the 2023 entries but nothing has changed. Anything new to try now?

We're approaching the point where the least invasive way to do that will be to locate and install an older version, and then break Google update.

The only possible lead I found was searching for Refresh 2023 in chrome://flags and disabling both of the results & restarting.
It only seems to happen when you have too many plugins putting their own lines in that menu.

After this recent update, my right click menu was padded enough that it required scrolling to see all the options.
Quoting this because they did it again.
Found a reddit thread on it though.
https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/1bjd74f/new_chrome_design_comparison_and_the_flags_to/

And making sure these 2 were disabled fixed it for me.

chrome-refresh-2023
customize-chrome-side-panel

Specifically that second option was what did it for me, since I changed the first one last time.

It's a piece of JUNK!
Is this where we go to gripe about Google in general? Because I got this fun email today:


quote:

We're letting you know about a forthcoming change to draft reviews on Google Maps.

Here's what you need to know:

•Review drafts will no longer be supported. Starting July 16th, existing drafts will be removed and you will be unable to save new drafts on Google Maps.

Actions to take by July 16th:

•Make sure to finish and publish any reviews in progress.
•If you wish to download existing draft reviews, please do so by July 16th. Here's how:
1.Go to Google Takeout
2.Select "Maps (your places)"
3.Follow the instructions to download your data

We appreciate your understanding and thank you for being a valuable member of the Google Maps community.

Now, this actually doesn't affect me in any way; I just find it hilarious that they're apparently so hard up for server space that they're Google Graveyarding random features nobody even uses.

Looks like Google screwed something up with Version 124.0.6367.61 (Official Build) (64-bit), because icons on tabs are now aligned to the top of the tab:



According to Reddit, it's because they're removing the old UI, and will be forcing everyone to use the new UI with the scrolling menus that EVERYONE hates.
