Thermopyle posted:I have no idea if this would work, but what about making a clean profile and then just copying its folder when needed? This works too from what I've tested, but also seems a bit hacked together and there might be some effect from user-specific stuff I haven't seen yet. I'd rather just have it launch on logon. Basically I'm wondering if there's a supported way to do this, like a built in switch or something, since Legacy Browser Support does not work without a preexisting cache.dat in the profile. If not, the workarounds are good enough. AreWeDrunkYet fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Nov 21, 2016 |

Det_no posted:Keeping track of sites over the years? Why wouldn't I? Firefox could do it, Edge could do it. Surely processing and displaying a long text file is not an herculean task. Because the point of a bookmark is quick access. When you've got 6,000 that's just not going to happen no matter how snappy the browser is. They could almost certainly fix it, but it's such an edge case outside of the normal scope of what bookmarks are intended for - why should they devote developers to this when there's likely a long backlog of bug fixes and new features that have more impact? You're building some sort of database of websites and using the wrong tool for it.

Det_no posted:How bizarre. I can't be the only one that has something like it, you guys are acting like I asked Google to build me a space station. File a bug report, just don't be surprised if it's not prioritized because yours is an unusual situation and there's a finite number of developer hours. e: or find a more appropriate tool to warehouse your thousands of addresses AreWeDrunkYet fucked around with this message at 02:32 on Nov 16, 2017 |

Similarly, my wife rarely uses the PC except in cases where she has to print things (someday I will link her phone to the printer but Even if you don't care about the security, having separate Windows profiles is just easier. Let her know your password if you're concerned that she might take it the wrong way, then get into the habit of locking the computer and signing into your own accounts when one of you goes to use it. Just like that you both get to set your own preferences - and not just in Chrome, that includes Windows stuff and most reasonably designed apps - with no further complexity.

Cabbit posted:Something about this latest update has monumentally hosed up the address bar/location bar/'omnibox'/whatever the gently caress for me. Whenever I jump up to it and start typing, the whole loving browser freezes up for a good second before catching up to what I'm typing. It's pretty well infuriating. Have you tried in incognito mode? It's probably an extension.

Cabbit posted:I have; it still happens, even in incognito. Next things to try are probably (a) changing your default search provider and (b) checking if the issue persists on a different network.

You can use the new Edge, send personal data to Google AND Microsoft.
