Close to ending this thread, as it doesn't seem to be going anywhere. I don't have the time or energy to continue replying, so this will probably be my final response. Is there any agreement we can reach about _what_ I am trying to > achieve? Doubtful. > For the password manager, I want to fix my multiple login > scenario with Google Apps, and support the multiple stage bank login > scenario. Neither of which is a priority for us. Few people create multiple logins on the same site with the same username and so designing UI to support them is an edge case. The bank scenario is _purposefully_ designed (by banks!) to break browser autofilling, and any countering of that we do is likely to: * Get Chromium-based browsers banned from banking sites * Cause banks to work around whatever heuristics we have until they don't work (It is OK at this point to curse bank site authors, I frequently do) For bookmarks, switching from mouse to keyboard every time > is a large inconvenience! What, to log in? You should be able to stay on your mouse and just click the "submit" button, except for the aforementioned multiple login case. (Which I don't have much sympathy for; why not use distinct usernames for your distinct accounts? I have three Google logins, but they have different usernames.) > as program > designer, effort should be made to accommodate everyone! Sorry, but this is completely wrong. UI that tries to accommodate everyone serves no one best. We have made explicit choices not to support certain usage patterns in the past and will continue to do so in the future. No UI can possibly serve all users equally and trying is foolish. This is one benefit to having multiple browsers; different products are better for different people. I actively recommend Firefox over Google Chrome to some of my friends that I know would be better served by it. > Could you perhaps suggest another way of addressing the shortcomings I > have highlighted? I already suggested waiting for us to do some work on improving form filling and bookmarks management. Both are areas we're actively working on. Were you saying No to both my ideas for changes to the star button, or > just to swapping the current function to a long click? Sadly, I was saying no to pretty much all the ideas. I don't think your proposals are something we would accept patches for at this time. Again, please revisit the situation over time as we try and address these issues and see whether we're improving things for you. Best wishes.
