Why chrome sucks today
-
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.

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. :)

"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.

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.

You can use the
--no-proxy-servercommand-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:-- Russell Morris Morbo: "WINDMILLS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY!"

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.....
