Has anyone notice some really strange stuff going on in Chrome? They must have snuck in an update that has changed the way things use (used) to be. For example I use to open and leave open Wells Fargo, BarcClayCard, Fidelity, my Ham Log and Google. All the corresponding icons would be displayed on my Home Page and all I had to do was click on them if I wanted access. Now I have to call up each web site or application I plan to visit. This semi-sucks as it is a PITA. Old guys don’t like change.
What’s the deal? Am I going to have to live with this for the remainder of what time I have left.
It appears Chrome is trying to pull a Windows deal on us. Change the crap out of everything whether you want it or not.

With Google products.
Yes.
I have a Google Pixel 7 pro.
Google is changing lots of things, making them “more clicks” to accomplish a task.
My current stressor is the camera.
It defaults to store in cloud, filled the memory up, EVERYTIME I WANT TO JUST TAKE A PHOTO I have to click no, no, no …
There’s more, but I’ll stop whining here.
And, Google is using this to pressure me to buy more cloud memory.
I’m ready to switch back to Samsung.
But, I assume it’s similar.

Does not recommend the Pixel. It has other issues.
I habitually restart it every night at bedtime, cause it just randomly starts doing weird stuff. Sometimes I get to restart it in the middle of the day.
Yes. I supposedly turned the store in cloud bug off, but, now it’s doing some store on phone, in some app, or something. I’ve not spent time trying to “learn” it. So, I click no non no…

I use Apple stuff – it just seems to work. For the last week I have been fighting a new Sony TV and a Polk Soundbar. Both high end products. I must have invested 10 hours mostly on hold. It would be so much easier if there were meaningful manuals instead of the diagram only Setup guides.
