Dear Google and the rest of the Chromium developers, It has been almost 3 months since I saw that "try chrome beta" link on the Google page. And it has been almost 3 months since I began using it, as my primary browser. And I think I'll switch to something else.
3 months is long enough, I presume, for introducing a plug-in system. Yes, I love them, "new tab from selection" to "tinyurl" "stumbleupon toolbar" to "linkify", to "open selection links", "freedownloadmanager browser monitor", and the rest of the plug-ins and add-ons. They are very functional, and they save me virtually hours in a given week. For any of the functionality these and other plug-ins, I am sick of the necessity to launch Maxthon or Firefox. I managed to add some functionality such as mouse gestures via stroke-it and other alternative means, but I am really tired of looking for and finding unorthodox and often imperfect solutions to problems which should be remedied by a less lazy development process. We no longer live in the 20th Century, in which double-clutch cars or wheel-dial telephones were acceptable. Nowadays browser plug-ins are basic functionality, which Chrome still lacks. Yes, it is fast, yes it is cute, yes it has V8, modular tabs, this, and that. But it is incomplete. And I gave it a try. And I waited for three months for it to be completed. At least for a date to be announced. Tough luck. I am not very knowledgeable about the corporate culture and plans of Google, but here is how it looks from my point of view: Google is a bunch of lazy geniuses, who create a promising product, and get bored, and move on to create another promising product without perfecting the first one. That is what happened with Googletalk, that is what is happening with Chrome. Instead of fixing the incomplete Googletalk, developers are happy to leave it in the year 2006, and shame, introduce conference chat and video calls to Gmail. Instead of fixing Chrome to give it basic functionality, Google channels its "creative" energy into changing the color scheme of Gmail. Yeah themes, that is what I was just looking for. Will save me much time. In a nutshell, someone please create a googlegroup to notify people when Chrome, or plain Chromium is completed, and add me to that group. For I will not bother to check every now and than.
