Why chrome sucks today

dan sh

Actually from past two days. I have my office proxy settings set up in IE. Now, when I come back to my hotel and use chrome, I cannot use web because of the IE settings. It actually uses the IE settings. Now this sucks. Why does chrome has to bank upon my IE settings. May be IE sucks since it changes the system settings for internet connection. Either way one of them sucks. Rant over. Now get that bacon and love your life. :)

IS the same thing with Mozilla or Opera?(if you tried) If Yes then IE settings suck(for being too OS tied). Else Chrome sucks. Anyway I can manually remove the proxy settings when !@work.

I do not have Mozilla these days. It sucks memory like a black hole now. Not sure. If true, IE sucks as always. :)

"IE Settings" is really "miscellaneous networking settings for your computer". Stuff you do in that tab affects a wide range of network-connected software. :suss:

Don't know about Opera, but many of those settings are not used by Firefox (at least the security-related ones aren't). Which sucks in its own way because when I want to have a trusted URL set up for a coworker, I have to give two sets of instructions. One for Firefox, and one for everything else.

I really like IE9. Bellow yeah it sucks. Opera is pretty good too. Nothing against Chrome, it's just not superior to IE9 or Opera(for anything real life not demos and wanna be features)

That's nice if I am a guy who works at MS since we are screwing every other browser who supports our OS. But as a third party browser developer, I must think of a way to beat it. Or, I should tell the end user the way it is. Chrome actually opens the IE options window to change proxy settings. Now this is lame. C'mon guys at google, you are supposed to be bloody good.

True.

FF is really nice if you leave aside the memory woes. I have not used Opera apart from my phone and it is good too.

Congrats. You are now on both MS and Google's black lists. :rolleyes:

Opera is pretty good, and I find it to be the sexiest one too. But, out of habit I use IE(9+) more then Opera.

:laugh: That probably explain why Gmail has stopped working for me and Windows says this is not original OS. :)

You can use the --no-proxy-server command-line option when launching chrome to force it to make direct connections regardless of the system-wide proxy configuration. There are many chrome command-line options[^] for things that you'd think would be faced in a preferences UI:

It's obvious that you just need to setup multiple internet connections on that screen and apply the proxy settings to that particular connection. Then you switch connections based on where you are. Simples. :rolleyes:

When you go into Chrome Settings and 'Change Proxy Settings' it opens the same dialog as IE does. So is this dialog actually an OS dialog, that happens to be accessible normally via IE.....

Yes. Seems so. It's "inetcpl.cpl".
