Criticisms

I think this article deserves a criticism section — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.203.10.183 (talk)

Criticisms can certainly be added, but you need to cite reliable sources for each one as per WP:V. - Ahunt (talk) 19:34, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

Quite. And strangely, there don't seem to be many prepared to risk publishing secondary research, criticising a company with the legal fund to give Bill Gates a decent day in court. But this is Wikipedia, not an information resource. http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9114369/Google_bends_to_Chrome_privacy_criticism http://www.geek.com/chips/why-businesses-still-avoid-googles-chrome-827221/ http://www.techweekeurope.co.uk/news/news-security/google-answers-microsoft-chrome-frame-security-criticisms-1913 http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/08/07/google-under-fire-for-chrome-browsers-password-storage-policy http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/google/8995070/Google-relegates-Chrome-home-page-after-spam-criticism.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/google/9131461/Hackers-beat-Google-Chrome-security.html And enjoy searching for information of the Event Viewer listed problems. 86.16.68.132 (talk) 08:22, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Alternately, the criticisms for aspects of Chrome can be included in respective sections of the article here. Things such as privacy, interface, security, all have there own section and any criticism for those aspects don't need to be consolidated into a new section that is not currently there. -- AstroU (talk) 06:04, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

HTML5 score

"On the HTML5 test, Chrome 35 scores 507 out of 555 points, placing it first among desktop browsers."
On the most used desktop browser which data are displayed on the site in ref*
Chrome/Firefox/IE/Safari/Opera are not the end of the desktop browser world. Maxthon scores better than Chrome in HTML5 test (I just tested and got 513 out of 555 ; and several sources attest as well it has a better score in HTML5 test)
Don't know exactly how to correct it but something should be done.

You make a good point. I have clarified the wording in the article to indicate that it has the best HTML5 support of the five most popular browsers as the ref cited specifies. See if that addresses your concern or whether more should be said. - Ahunt (talk) 11:05, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Can't see changes in Chrome Release History

I added information that version 36 finally updated the vulnerable Flash plugin in the Mac OS X version, but this was removed by someone. This is censorship! Read more about it here: Extralars (talk) 09:13, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Are you kidding? That has been added by you, and removed by yourself. No one has censored and/or removed that. In addition, Chrome Release posted on July 8 is about Pepper Flash update (not specific to OS X), not about Chrome 36 release. --Claw of Slime (talk) 09:45, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

I've been trying to update it in my browser but it doesn't show. As a step I removed it and added it again. I'll go to another browser and see if it is displayed. I apologise. But the Flash plugin was never updated in version 35 for Mac OS X, that's my point. Extralars (talk) 09:49, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Can't see the change in Safari either. Extralars (talk) 09:54, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

I can see the change with Firefox 31 RC, IE 11, Chrome 36 and Opera 22 on Windows. Have you tried cache clear of your browsers?

Are there any reliable source about not updating Pepper Flash in Chrome 35 on OS X? Pepper Flash update is not mentioned in Chrome 36 release note (comments on that post are not reliable sources). I added [citation needed] to the template. --Claw of Slime (talk) 10:08, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

I can't see the change in any browser, regardless of clearing cache or not (Mac OS X 10.9.4). I don't know of any "reliable source" other than Google itself. You can always tamper with the package contents i Mac OS X, so it is futile to try to "prove" anything. I know I checked version 35 yesterday and that "chrome://components" update doesn't work. Now I have updated to version 36. If you feel that this shouldn't be displayed on Wikipedia, please feel free to remove it. Extralars (talk) 11:40, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Problem with the update template

I'm having a problem. Lately, there's been a release for Google Chrome only for Windows (37.0.2062.102) on this link here. All the other OS's show 37.0.2062.94 on this other link here. I wanted to update this template, but when I tried doing this and then got to the Google Chrome page, it only shows the Windows release, but not the release for Mac OSX or Linux! I need help! --Angeldeb82 (talk) 03:09, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Add Encrypted Media Extensions addition to change list

Looking for a ref of when Encrypted Media Extensions was added to stable Chrome. It is a big deal for enabling Netflix without Silverlight. --Pmsyyz (talk) 15:38, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
