Of all websites I search and research trying to find a true answer. If I could suggest searching different websites is a waste of time number one you could be concentrating on the subject matter at hand. Number two who really wants to waste their time in the future effort which has no end. Isn’t that why we have search engine. Number three how much time do you waste searching around for a basic format or answer without having to read endless questions. I think truly in my heart that I have I deep sense of loss for the future generations that are never truly narrow down A very simple question almost like this text,
All of the sudden I began getting this “Server Error We’re Sorry but it appears that there has been an internal server error while processing your request. Our engineers have been notified and are working to resolve the issue. Please try again later.” that is the only thing that shows on both Google Chrome and Google. I’ve uninstalled, cleared cookies, cleared cache, deleted data, I’ve done every single update for both Chrome and Google as well as my phone and I’ve done security checks, virus checks and several other privacy measures to make sure that my phone is secured and protected and updated- but nothing helps. If I uninstall, clear cookies and cache, and data and then install Chrome and Google again- but don’t sign in to my google account- then Chrome and Google will work. Using Chrome and Google are both useless to me unless I’m able to be signed in to my account- so what happened? Please fix this issue.
Sorry, I used to LOVE Google Chrome Browser but lately, it just feels bloated and crammed full of ads, you can’t escape… The Desktop version was a 4/5* but one issue with iOS is ALL “Browsers” rely on the exact same foundation as the Safari WebKit.. Safari will ALWAYS have the newest, greatest, least bloated, streamlined workflow, as it’s the Native app by design, that all others follow behind waiting. Unless you really need features tied to Chrome or Google in general you have 0 reason to use anything but Safari. It’s not the developers fault, but it sure does feel like a major drawback a main reason why I will not be using iOS Chrome. Safari already supports Extensions natively even AdGuard.. No reason to settle for another clone with more bells and whistles using you for ad revenue, providing no real value beyond what Safari and iOS already offer. This is just another way for Google to attempt to maintain their monopoly. I have been using Safari and Google Search WITH extensions without excess ads and confusing UI/UX design just opening the app once I get a “Why do I even have this installed” Do your own research though! Don’t take my word for it, maybe it will change but I doubt it. Apple has a chokehold on their OS and market share and is slowly also pushing me away, unless there is some major shift.
This happens so many times it’s a nuisance. When using the app on my iPad, sometimes I will drag the tabs around to organize them and it will create a new window by accident when I didn’t meant them to. Then I have to copy and paste the link back into my current window and exit the new window away. However when I do this I believe I closed the new window, so when I go back on the chrome app guess what... all my 100 tabs are replaced by this one singular new window. Now I have to waste my time going back to my history trying to gain back all the lost tabs I had. If this keeps happening I might have to use a different browser. I only use this app because i already have the chrome browser downloaded on all my devices and I like the feature of seeing my bookmarks all shared between my devices. I’m praying that they create a disable option for this.
Google officially killed the old look of Chrome. You used to be able to revert to the older and more functional layout by adjusting hidden flags. This was removed in the latest update and I really hate it. The new look makes everything too big. Finding tabs is actually harder and the new tab manager makes tabs not “feel” like web pages. Every time I open a new tab I almost hit the “close all” button which would be catastrophic. This looks closer to Safari than ever. If I wanted Safari, I’d just use it since it’s already in my phone. Google should be setting themselves apart and pushing the standards and not following other tech companies. I also just don’t understand why the new “in” look is flat graphics, oversized buttons or icons, and huge amounts of wasted whitespace. I have a large phone. I don’t need help with giant menus and buttons that look like they were designed for a senior citizen who forgot their glasses. And what does Google have against labels on the bottom menu bar and in the tab switcher? Sometimes I like to read what I’m about to select before I touch it. The one good thing is the compact menu. It’s concise and reachable. Bring back the customizability that used to exist in software and let me choose how I make my own device look. I don’t need to be forced into the user experience that you think I want.
Right now, it is really annoying to save bookmarks. My Bookmark Bar has 14 main folders and 186 subfolders (yes, I just counted), plus hundreds of actual bookmarked sites. The bookmarked sites don't show up while I try to save a new bookmark... but the 186 subfolders do. So if I need to save a new bookmark, this app forces me to scroll past ALL of my folders and subfolders (which this app alphabetizes - meaning they are NOT arranged in the order I have them on desktop) to FIND the folder I want to Save Bookmark in. This is ridiculous. I would LOVE to be able to FIRST select one of the 14 main folders in my Bookmarks Bar, and THEN scroll to the correct subfolder and simply save the new bookmark. Funny enough, this is the EXACT system you have in place for FINDING a bookmark that I've already saved. Sooo... you have a great system in place for FINDING a bookmark, but SAVING A NEW ONE is a nightmare. If you could find it in your hearts to update this, I'd be hugely grateful!!
For some reason, Chrome decided to replicate the universally hated and immediately revoked Firefox experiment where instead of simply returning to your last tab when you open the app, it opens a useless new tab page with a "Return to last tab" button. This isn't useful and starts my Chrome experience with annoyance and frustration as I have to click around to get back to where I was, instead of just being there already. Firefox had to revert this immediately because it's awful and annoying; I don't know why Chrome is now imitating it. It's also (deliberately?) well hidden in chrome://flags - not findable by searching "new" or "tab" or "return", but only if you already know the keyword "Start Surface". At least you can disable it if you do manage to find it, but it shouldn't be the default AND it should be manageable in the top-level settings.
I love how you can get google chrome without being signed in, it’s just really easy an I genuinely hate having to sign in. Also here’s a thing, Microsoft rewards, I tried to sign in into Microsoft rewards on bing (the app) but it said I needed a Microsoft account and that’s just too much work, but on google chrome I can just search up Microsoft rewards and sign in, it’s just way easier. But one thing that I don’t really like is how There is a lot of tools/pop ups, it’s not anything bad but it just annoys me and I would like it if you could add a little settings bar that could remove the pop ups and stuff if you don’t already. But overall it’s an amazing app and great for everyone.
Overall a great browser for mobile with some kinks
I love chrome mostly because it saves my passwords and bookmarks in the same place. I use chrome on my PC, and its also nice to see my open tabs on my iPad or phone when I walk into another room and forget what the screen said. Writing this reveiew because I just found a pretty horrendous bug in this app involving the Gmail web client on the iPad 9.6 running iOS 11.4. Was trying to send an email within the “compose” popup within the Chrome Browser. I typed my whole email then selected to add an attachment. I didn’t see my file, so I selected to cancel the file upload. This brought me to a blank Chrome logo and the Chrome app was unresponsive. I was forced to reset the app causing me to lose my work. Hope they fix this quick because its a repro rate of 100%.
I've always enjoyed using Chrome as my default browser on iPhone, until about two months ago i began experiencing spam ads that would pop up and take over the entire app functioning. Even when I would close the window and the app and reopen it, the ad would pop up again. There was no option except to click on the ad, which one time i did, and it led me to further spam pages that asked me for my personal info. I have even deleted the app from my phone and then downloaded it again, but inevitably the same thing would happen again. Because of this, unfortunately I have had to stop using Chrome. This problem has not occurred with Safari, so for now I'm sticking with that. I'm writing this in the hopes that it can be addressed, so I can safely return to using Chrome again. Thank you!
I really liked the interface of Chrome. It was fairly similar to adjust to from the PC because they are so similar. Now I have to adapt to this new interface that looks similar to Safari. I dislike Safari's interface with the tabs and other settings in a low bar because I felt that it was inconvenient. Now that Chrome has switched to this new interface, I find it very difficult to adjust my mind on this system especially since this is the browser that I only use. I do like that I can access many of the settings (e.g. History) without having to open up a new tab. Other than this, there weren't any issues the previous interface. It would be lovely if the developers reach back for a conversation with this. If not, then either give us the option to use the previous interface or undo the update.

Google Chrome has become an essential tool for my daily browsing. It’s incredibly fast, reliable, and offers a smooth user experience across various devices. The interface is clean and intuitive, making navigation effortless. I love the vast selection of extensions available in the Chrome Web Store, which allows me to customize my browsing experience according to my needs. Syncing across multiple devices is seamless, and I appreciate the built-in security features that keep my data safe. Overall, it’s a top-notch browser that I highly recommend!
You can read all the other reviews and see how many problems there are with this app but the one that frustrates me most is of how incompatible it is. First of all I’ve been searching everywhere for a browser that supports extensions on iOS/iPad/phone and every time I try to download an extension on that browser it says “download on chrome” but I already downloaded chrome but after I actually go to your chrome app it doesn’t work this is such a hassle. One star because I’ve been searching so much for a solution and all this app has been doing is dragging me to download your chrome app which doesn’t even work I would rather prefer safari over this piece of garbage because it is faster and much more reliable. Never thought a chrome product would be this crappy, really makes the company look bad.
Chrome has been my main browser for yearsss. As of lately, it constantly crashes. Everytime I close out of it to check on a different app, when I open it back up I have to Restore my tabs. But there have been multiple times when I open it up and it doesn’t give me the option to restore. I have to scroll and scroll and scroll through my history to try and find the pages I had open. The first time it did it was when I had certain tabs up for a long time and it was impossible to find them again since the date I originally opened them were more than a week or two old. Wish they would fix it. An update late last year had this same kind of bug, but I thought it had been fixed. Pleaaase get this corrected!
I love everything about Google Chrome except for the new cumbersome steps to adding bookmarks (too many steps to save a bookmark to a particular folder you have set up, as anyone who uses a lot of bookmarks will want to manage them in organized folders of their own making, and no way to stop the unwanted default that you use one bulk “shopping list” folder that you never want to use). It would also be great if they introduced filters so that you can search your bookmark folders with more precision, such as narrowing searches down by date added. But the plug-ins are fantastic, the interface is so much better than Safari, etc.
I have a love/hate relationship with Chrome. It’s pretty darn good, WHEN it functions properly. However, numerous times over the last few years, they’ve released versions which did not work, sometimes in bizarre and inconsistent ways. I realize they have a lot of devices/models to test upon, but that’s part of software development. If you’re not going to fully test your software for a device, then take it off the compatibility list in the App Store. This last update, two days ago, was fine until today. It should have gotten an emergency update. No, I’m not going to uninstall and reinstall it. That’s not my job. If you want me to use your app, then make it where it never gets this messed up. (I’m just speculating about what a so-called support person might suggest.) I love the convenience of having my settings and some other things shared across devices. That said, I have issues with whatever else they may be doing with my various information. It’s quite clear that they are not fully abiding by their stated data collection standards. Data is being collected on my browser usage even in “private” mode. Who knows where that’s going or to whom?
Breaking my silence in the 7yrs I’ve shopped in the App Store w/o one review to express my frustration w/ the most recent update to the Google Chrome app that I’m using on my new generation iPad. One, it auto-updated; so that p*ssed me off, on sight. Then, when I saw how utterly hideous the pages were, that added a whole other level of outrage. I’ve been too busy this week to research ways to reverse the update (like I successfully did with my phone) and got a feel for the performance, which - not to my surprise - is also lackluster. Additionally, the bottom toolbar that holds the autocorrect/-fill covers the content near the bottom of the page, which was not the case in previous versions. So not only am I being force-fed your incompetence, I will also be forced to look at your ugly mug during that realization..? No bueno. The Google’s privacy violations were more than enough, actively researching alternatives.
What happened to the ability to switch between accounts?
I’m into kpop, I do kpop voting, I have multiple accounts and for years I have been able to just click on the picture in the right hand corner and choose to switch to one of my saved accounts. Now when I try to do it, I can click the account and I have the option to manage the account or delete it. When I click manage and go into it, when I go out of it I’m still stuck in the other account. I can no longer switch to a different account. This is such a basic action for this app, an action that has been working for years. I have trie deleting the app and reinstalling it and it still no longer works. All my accounts are listed but I can not switch between them like I once could. Come on Google.
To manage separate personal and school accounts is a constant battle on this version of Chrome for iPad. I don’t wish to link a school administrated account a personal account but feel completely bullied and persistently pressured to link. And then recently added my school account back after it mysteriously disappeared but then had to remove the personal account because the ability to toggle back and forth between the two had completely become impossible to find. It’s actually a complete joke and I avoid using this iPad because Chrome is so rigid in the way you all prefer for it to be used. I use Chrome on Mac and other Windows devices and the Chrome app is smooth and simple with a waffle menu to use docs or any other features and I don’t understand why this version for iPad is so different.
I am a mobile chrome user myself, and have alwayd delt with the same problem, I have an iphone 8 which by itself is a kind of small phone so when it comes to the size of the screen its gonna be tough. But safari and other search engines have a zoom setting in the app or in the working tab, I know there is a text zoom setting on chrome but that only makes the text smaller that doesnt resolve the issue, lets say for example I wanted to read an article. The page on chrome was too small to read parts of the article and i couldnt zoom out it would just stay still and make the page go backwards if that makes sense. Developers of chrome please make a zoom page button where you can make the page more spacious, Thank you!!
Google chrome is a very good platform. A few things I don’t like is how all my pages stay open for ever in the background, yes there’s a setting for that I’m sure which brings me to my 2nd complaint. It is very hard to remember all the details of how, why and when I should use specific settings. I find myself searching for how to do a specific task, usually have to reference you tube to find what I assume should be easy. I feel the cookie settings should be universal and locked in. I really hate the seemingly pretend status of accepting no cookies only to be asked time and time again what I want, and then the radio buttons being very deceiving on a yes or no status…. Yeah yeah, that’s the web site, yes but it supposedly my browser???
I’ve been using just chrome for years, until recently been going great. However now that I can literally not search for anything on chrome without 100,000 ads popping up for my search, especially if it’s a product. And this is not just on chrome, it’s any app I use that has ads. For example. I recently purchased a different VPN since my ISP(looking at you Spectrum) is terrible. I’ve already purchased the product through no effort on chromes part. Now I cannot pull anything up without seeing an ad for it. And I do mean I cannot get away from it on any apps, even after marking the ad as irrelevant. Pop up blockers are apparently being disabled, started seeing more and more get through so I guess it’s time to switch back to Firefox only. And please note, when force fed ads over and over for products means I will never buy said product at all or ever again.
No more thumb stretch, HOORAY!!! I LOVE that you moved the back button and tabs down to the bottom! My thumb thanks you as well. I try to never use Safari so I can’t say if it looks like Safari as the Reviewer who didn’t care for the update mentioned. Frankly, I only care about the “useability” (this should be a word and not 2 words). I’m a busy mom with young kids so I need to be able to navigate quickly and switch between saved tabs often for teams schedules and recipes and shopping and poison control. You have made that infinitely easier with this update. BAM 6 screen views at once, swipe for 6 more....GAME CHANGER....dogs that ate entire packages of Oreos saved! Thank you.
I hate using chrome on iOS can’t restore tabs after it crashes
This app is awful. It errors often (“oh snap!”), and crashes pretty consistently - losing every open tab. I have syncing on, but it rarely actually syncs. Unlike Firefox, you can’t manually sync. (That I can find). I’m so tired of chrome, and google’s stuff is proprietary enough that you can’t choose other default browsers. I just lost another 40-some tabs today. Chrome let me restore them after the first crash, then proceeded to crash again. I reopened chrome, saw it “sync”, it crashed again, and when I tried to recover recent tabs, there was nothing - because it synced right after it crashed! Too frustrating to depend on. I looked on my pc’s browser and it showed no synced tabs from my iPad. This has been going on for over 2 years with no improvement. Bookmark all open tabs regularly or you’ll be screwed. :(
UPDATE: Still issues. Now the bookmarks don't show unless I go hunting for them in a menu. So, now they are still gone from the old bookmark grid page style AND NOW I have to actually LOOK for them. Why? Browser is slow, typing lags horribly, bookmarks icons disappear when scrolling down the screen. Chrome for iPad keeps forgetting my passwords. Please let us have the old bookmark method back, where we would have larger square icons that did not disappear when I scroll down the screen AND they sorted themselves horizontally across the screen, from left to right. I remove the titles on all of my bookmarks to be able to fit more on my desktop Chrome browser. The list-view of small icons is really poor design. I used to rave about how wonderful this browser was, but back in March, it seems to have taken a turn for the worse.
in short, the app is horrible, not intuitive, settings are made to obfuscate the user, is like they doing it on purpose instead of doing something nice they’re doing something awful, i just don’t get it, they have the funding to get the best results but for “some” reason they keep downgrading the user experience. thats with respect of the app along, now if we want to talk about search results, mmmm thats 1000’s times WORST. you don’t get top results that match the searching criteria, you get results from companies that PAY to be top results and that defeats the whole purpose and taint the old good reputation that google once had, we use to say “just google it” but Google took advantage of that and now searching with google is as useless as IE. i don’t get it or perhaps I do get it… now they just profiting without any incentive for the user. I would dare to say it would fail at the end because no one likes to be cheated and google had become masters at cheating so soon as more people realize it they would switch to other more transparent Browsers. sorry I just hate what google have become and this is coming from someone that used chrome for years and years but now I’m DONE.
I cannot switch accounts. I’ve tried everything, read all the online tutorials, etc. I’m pretty tech savvy but anytime I try to switch accounts, it doesn’t work and it won’t let me sign in to any other account. I have to delete an account in order to sign in to the other one. It’s slow and useless. I switched to safari on phone and I’m using sidekick on my Mac which is WAY better—window doesn’t close/quit when you close last tab, I have bookmarks that are separate from tabs, saves my place, and everything loads so much faster. Also, they have a function where you can use settings to make it so if you go to a distracting website it will automatically reroute to gmail or whatever you want. Sidekick is way better and faster and better privacy you should get it.
I’m not sure if it’s a bug or some new annoying thing, but recently this has been happening. Whenever I go out of the app, I close out my tabs. So when I come back to the app, those tabs should be gone. But for some reason, they’re back, even though I had already closed them off. So that’s one irritating thing, but then also sometimes I purposely leave a tab open when I close the app because I plan on coming back, and in the past it has always kept the tab there, but now sometimes I will come and it will have closed off the tab. I thought this just might be a glitch so I tried deleting the app and re downloading it but that did not work.
I love chrome. I gave it 2 stars, but let’s be honest, it’s still the best browser out there. BUT, this new update took a 5 star rating and turned it into a 2 Star. I abhor tr new layout. I stopped using safari precisely because I HATED the forward and back (and all the function buttons for that matter) buttons along the bottom of the screen. It makes zero sense to have address and navigation buttons in different places. Chrome had it beautifully placed. And what do they do? take 10 steps back to do exactly what their competitors failed to move on from 8 years ago. Their multiple tabs are not nearly as easily reached and navigated. Not tough to use at all, but another definite step back in terms of intuitive design. I’m not here telling you not to download it, but for the LOVE OF GOD put stuff back where it belongs!!!!!
Ok. So I wanted to start off by say this: NO ONE TOLD ME TO SAY THIS. So now that I said that, lemme get started. When you first get an Apple iPhone, (at least for me, also, I’m saying Apple iPhone ‘cause I’m not sure if that’s true for all phones) you automatically have the main web browser installed as Safari. Most people never change because it’s not a big deal, they don’t know how to, they think Safari is superior compared to any other web browsers, etc. for a while, I just didn’t care. Until one day I wanted to try something new. So I downloaded Chrome that was FREE. Something that I love about Chrome is that it has a modern style. Safari wasn’t like that.
The Chrome for iPhone has some annoying bugs, but I suspect they come from Apple just wanting to make the competition work poorly so users choose to use Safari, which is simply a terrible browser. First, the settings are such that you cannot allow location all the time, so you are asked every time you open a page for permission to turn on location. Very annoying, Apple. Then they always use a new tab when the browser is opened from another app so you quickly have dozens of open tabs slowing things down. This doesn’t happen on non iOS devices so the solution is obvious. My next phone will not be an iPhone. Thanks Apple for making the decision for me.
Google was my default search engine, and I use search a lot for my work. Recently, however, it has seriously declined. I will do a search for something very specific, and I am first shown add after add that is not relevant, and then shown many many things, none of which are relevant. I did a search tonight with a very specific term. Of course, I had to wade through the ads, but the actual results literally had nothing to do with my search, and none of the results even included my keyword in it. It was like I searched for apples, and they showed me spaceships. Not even red spaceships, not even spaceship cakes you could eat, just spaceships. Extremely disappointed. Just downloaded two other search engines. It’s very upsetting, because I have a lot of things tied to Google.
I use the app very intensely, sometimes I have over 20 tabs open at the same time. The result of this is that Chrome crashes quite often. I understand that it’s the result of using up too many resources, and I don’t have a problem with this specifically. But whenever Chrome offers to restore tabs after crash, the button is often not responsive or disappears before I can tap it. So I almost never can restore my previously opened tabs. If I go through the … menu, there’s nothing under the recent tabs at all, and it directs me to the History to do it manually. It’s a pain. Please consider having the restore tabs function improved, like having a permanent menu option or a shortcut like the desktop version has.
Just bought a iPhone 12 Pro Max. Brand new from Apple. Downloaded chrome. Not responsive and as soon as I try to open the app it freezes as soon as I open the app. So the only thing I see is chrome logo with accept and select. I close the app and open it again and still same thing. Uninstalled the app and now the App Store says open in stead of “get”. Factory reset the phone and repeated the whole process and the same thing happened. Resting my phone is no problem as I use the iPhone for strictly work and I don’t have no apps but work related apps only. But those apps only work with chrome. So yeah totally not Apples fault as I have fully done everything on their part since I contacted them first about this problem thinking no way google would let people down like this. Well hope google fixes this.
I don’t do many reviews for apps in this store but ... Google chrome is amazing especially for storing data on your phone and computer, makes it so much easier, this version is great, I had this issue yesterday, I literally thought of suggesting to allow to use my chrome passwords , the only thing at the time was downloading all your passwords in PDF form, now Apple and google has made it so you can select auto fill passwords , chrome now is one of them! So I have my Apple and chrome all in one place. Maybe you saw me have the issue lol. Thanks for one of the best browsers and now more simple to use our stored private data.
Both of my google apps, chrome & gmail were deleted due to recurring security issues and inability to control open source codes being side loaded on an iPhone with there new UI kit/pancake side loading site. App Itunes says that I need to update them, search can’t find them & worse ! Some can’t even be removed-such as Apple Books where xml docs were seen holding python & a network manifest script that appears to clone my phone even without iCloud or back up activated. If I don’t want my health data stored then it shouldn’t be!! And Google should NEVER allow 2 emails to loop one another for 2fa along with an inability to delete or lock an acct like apple iTunes because it is easily to reset the phone if u have the phone and just the pin to log into the screen… Check those updates and verify they are legit!
I have attempted to use this browser off and on for the last year. I really want to like and use this browser. Accessing my bookmarks is a multi step process. I can’t tell it to open all of the bookmarks I have saved into file folders and instead have to open repeat the multi step process for each bookmark I need to open at the start of my day. I use google meets often. I don’t want to download the meeting app. I want to be able to use it in the browser window just like I can in safari. This way if I need to share my screen I don’t have to leave the app to get to the tab I need from my browser. I have found all of the google apps that I have attempted to use with IOS to be poorly designed for the end user. I am very disappointed in the product that has been put out for public use.
Just use actual Chrome on a computer, it works way better then this app which has disappointed me more then I expected. I love using this app, but the update has completely threw me off. I often use google and when I'm scrolling down, my fingers are always on the bottom of the screen and swiping things all the time. I read a lot and the new google update isn't helping. I prefer the old version where everything is on top of the screen where I can easily swipe up to hide and not accidentally click a button to go back or forth when I don't need to. I just want to know if there's anyway to downgrade the app. I also had over 100 tabs open. I lost it all in an instant and have NO way of getting them back. I haven't the slightest clue what majority of the tabs were called and it's extremely difficult to try to find EVERYTHING all over again which I don't have time for. I need a section in which the tabs I have recently deleted, ON ACCIDENT CAUSE IM NOT STUPID ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY WILLINGLY DO THAT, can be replaced in an instant. Without going into my history, because let's be honest. History is a mix of what happened on one tab. NOT ON ALL TABS THAT WE HAD. It's really starting to annoy me by how google chrome is starting to fail.
Recently switched to the Chrome app with an iPhone 12 Pro upgrade. I use Chrome on my PC so was excited at the thought of being able to seamlessly switch from phone to PC when needed and especially now that Chrome can be set to default browser with iOS 14. Way too many bugs in the iOS version though. Like many others have mentioned, page competition consistently messes up and jumps off the screen to the left, pages wiggle left and right when scrolling not allowing for a quick enough scroll, and I’ve experienced not being able to scroll many pages in general, with the page constantly jumping back to the top as I try to scroll down. Simply way too bugs to continue using when I’ve never had any of these issues with Safari. I’ll be sticking with Safari until these bugs are fixed.
I enjoy this browser. However I want to address that since the last update and this new firmware I have an issue with uploading documents online on this browser. I’m using an IPad Pro 10.5. On the last firmware anytime I selected the document and hit upload it will just go white with the google chrome logo in the center of the screen. With this new firmware, once I hit upload and it will display my open tabs, and I’m able to exit the tab selection by tapping on done. I have closed the app and have attempted over and over. I hate using Safari, but I need to upload my resume. Please fix!
This has always been my favorite browser but the last few updates have no improved the app. The latest update has caused the keyboard to be so laggy that it is unusable. Also, my search suggestions stopped showing up from Google. Another recent update changed the layout to match Safari. I used to love to swipe through all of my open tabs & close the ones I needed to close quickly & easily. Now, the app goes to the “tiled” screen, where you see several tiny versions of each page. I have to click on each one to even tell what many of them are, & most of the time that page has to reload & many times fails doing that! It takes about 5x as long to go through & close tabs. Super annoying. Bring back the old way! (But first, fix the laggy keyboard because I can’t even use Chrome at this point. 🙄)
Why ON EARTH would you think people wanted Chrome to look like safari? I absolutely HATE this update. Hate it. I loved the way Chrome used to work, now it's a knockoff of safari, which I avoid like the plague. If people were willing to download your browser on iOS instead of using the one that CAME ON THE PHONE, WHY would you think it's a good idea to make your browser like that one? Please change it back. At least add an option to change the layout to the old one or keep the new one (for the VERY small percentage of people who like this change).
Google collects an absurd amount of data on you whenever you use any of their services. It’s commonly known that they sell this data to advertisers but it’s actually much deeper than that. They do sell your data to companies but they also give it to law enforcement to target you and your family when the state starts to crackdown on you. They also use it to train their ai tools that they are using to eliminate human labor and cut jobs, not just at their company but across the globe, and as we all know in this society job cuts don’t mean less work for everyone to share but more competition for the remaining jobs. And of course as these jobs get more ‘competitive’ the wages themselves go down. TLDR if you use Google apps your destroying the livelihood and jobs of yourself and everyone else to further enrich googles executives and shareholders
I keep deleting Chrome app off my iPhone XS Max and re-downloading it in hopes of fixing this huge annoying problem. The problem: Every time I open a new tab it automatically sends me to another tab (usually the top left tab) I already had open. It’s clearly a bug because I’ve deleted all my caches and cookies multiple times and no luck. I usually have 6-10 tabs open. For years this never happened. Now for months this has been happening. And yes it’s on the latest update as well as my iOS. It’s like when you open your car door but then your truck opens up on its own. It’s like taking a bite out of pizza but then you realize you just ate a boring piece of dried broccoli. It’s like working at Google for $150,000 a year as a programmer on the iOS Chrome app but then realize you broke what was never broken to begin with on your updates. 😐
The recent March update has a few issues with it? The main issue I face is when I try to hit the tab button and look at all of my open tabs. When I exit a tab to do that, all of my tabs disappear and I can only see the black/grey background, along with the New Tab, Tab Count, and Options buttons. When I hit them they don't do anything, and I have to restart the app to have my tabs come back. I can't tell if it's because I have a gazillion tabs open (which I wasn't facing this issue a few days ago, before I updated and had a bunch of tabs open) or if it's just a bug with the new update. Otherwise, it works great! I just hope this gets fixed :D
Google has become unusable in the past 3 years . With so many companies gaming SEO and Google trying to turn their into basically into an ad and shopping service it’s impossible to actually search and find anything anymore. Are you someone’s grandma and want to search for the best vacuum cleaner to buy? Google can help. Are you literally anyone searching a niche topic? You will have to wade through garbage affiliate links, Google trying to steer your search into what they “think” you are searching(because there is no way you are searching something obscure…you must be looking for this very popular search instead🙄) , and randomly Google trying out this new tile/grid view and pushing specific content like they are a content machine! Cool way to ruin something that worked for so long 🤦♀️
The interface is super clunky, and way more annoying than the streamlined tab layout from before where there was a small, unobtrusive button that opened the menu for the rest of the features like settings, bookmarks, history, etc., the fact that the bar is on the bottom of the screen now is just disorienting. I initially chose chrome because I liked the simple streamlined layout and safari had the clunky ui, but now chrome looks worse than safari, aesthetically speaking. Maybe give users the option to revert to the former? I like chrome and don’t want to stop using the app, but this update is definitely not worth the hassle. Edit: the app crashes way more frequently with this update as well
On all Apple products chrome works great, using Apple’s usual ecosystem capabilities, but with no restrictions with Samsung‘s and other companies. Apple seems to fight other companies for powers, however, I’m excited that they are getting better about it. It seems like they are letting Google in, they are getting into the gaming community, however, at this very moment, Google is better than Apple when it comes to browsers support, default browser support. However, they both have been tied for the top for a while, it could make one wonder: ‘why has apple seemed to all of a sudden start unloading their long awaiting restrictions.
Sorry, but the latest update leaves something to be desired. Been trying to get used to it in last few days and there’s just something off about it. It’s lots more difficult to go back to a previous page, in fact, sometimes the back arrows are totally missing as well as other selections that used to be self evident. And I don’t like that black background! Yuk! Depressing!! Did you test this on anyone before you rolled it out? And the auto save of passwords feature seems to have decided to not work! I really liked that, but now it doesn’t even ask if I want Chrome to save or update for me, or it does so intermittently. Think you have some ‘splaining to do or fix it please! Thanks.
