    This has got to be the most user-hostile piece of horse manure I've ever come across. Boggles the mind how smart Googlers who're paid oodles of money came up this UI. :| /ravi

      The all new bookmark system is a PITA if you ask me. Half the time it remembers what you used last, half the time it forgets. Then it suggests somewhere - and normally it's wrong, I wanted it where it was last time. And what's with the stupid picture when you click the star to add one? I know what the page looks like - it's right in front of me! Bring back the previous version...

      Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

        Chances are some devs got bored. They were all like "well sh*t what now?" And then one guy came along and was like, I dunno. We just gotta do something to justify our paycheck. Then another dev came along and, "hey we can screw sh*t up." "That way, we'll have to fix it too, and I can afford to buy my wife that new fluffy teddy bear."

          Retards, the lot of them.  Let's see how quickly they can build a thick-client MFC app where all the business logic lives in the UI and the db is just a store with zero authentication and validation.  Kids, these days... X| /ravi

                  Yeah, the bookmark manager sucks. It's slightly better if you change it to list mode instead of the default tile mode. What I REALLY hate is the little dialog that pops up when you click the star to even add a bookmark. Complete junk! X |

                  Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

                        "mouse clicks"! no, just gestures. I can think of a couple of gestures right now...

                        - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

                          Yes its awful alright. Fortunately, there is a way to disable it: Visit chrome://flags and look for Enable Enhanced Bookmarks. -Saurabh

                              It seems, you have to first close all tabs and windows and then disable the flag and restart chrome. -Saurabh

                                It didn't work for me when I did a Chrome restart by myself. But it did when I did it with a "Relaunch Now" button that appears at the bottom of the window when you change any of the flags.

                                You have just been Sharapova'd.
