Title: Chrome mobile updated is wtf
Post by: Himu on May 22, 2014, 10:03:34 AM
User interface is way worse. There used to be a magnification bubble so that if you click links that are close together, you can pick which one you really want to use. I use that thing all the time, and now I can't. Now I have to zoom in and out just to click one small link, and it's fucking annoying. I turned on force zoom and it still doesn't let me do it. Google have now transpired into ruining their trademark BROWSER. ugh.

Sounds like a bug. You can file a regression report at crbug.com (http://crbug.com).

Don't get me wrong. I love the android ui more. But the App Store and games appeal to me more and I'm preparing for next gen. I think both are good alternatives but for what I need now, I need a mobile that can play Phoenix Wright and comics so I'm fine. Especially since things like Google Drive and Gmail are on iPhone.
