Why Google Chrome on OS X Makes Me Sad

I just uninstalled Google Chrome on my Mac. It made me too sad, and here’s why.

First, the vertical tabs option was removed. The change report says

Sidetabs were an experiment that didn’t pan out. They’re in a half-working state and should be removed, says Glen.

We’ll try to come up with other approaches for this use case.

This is patently absurd. It worked great. I used it for a long time. Everyone I showed it to, loved it, especially on a wide screen display. That they took it away so quietly irritates me.

Second, the session restore doesn’t work if you click the red X on the window. It does work if you Command-q or quit straight from the dock as stated here.

There is, apparently, no intent to fix.

Ridiculous.
