They wasted their development efforts on that???<br />We have 20+ inch monitors available throughout the industry and they limit us to a 4 x 2 format? Why? the 3 x 3 was easier on the eyes for sure. Please consider QUICKLY adding in options to allow 3 x 3, 4 x 2, 4 x 4 so we can effectively use our monitor space. Only have 8 is too limiting for most of us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-68983571733380121272009-09-17T03:30:05.002-07:002009-09-17T03:30:05.002-07:00the old new tab page with 9 thumbnails and differe...the old new tab page with 9 thumbnails and different search boxes was better. <br /><br />It made it quicker to open a new tab and search for something on youtube or wikipedia for instanceGrayGoosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08039369777988684861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-13534229458664088892009-08-22T12:36:08.622-07:002009-08-22T12:36:08.622-07:00You should be able to edit the thumbnails just lik...You should be able to edit the thumbnails just like you're able to edit the bookmark bar! <br /><br />To be able to put some kind of optional news feed (from New York Times as an example) would be great!!Sofiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06460771004614999036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-30341475841778215102009-08-14T21:30:50.774-07:002009-08-14T21:30:50.774-07:00Really miss the search engines from the old tab pa...Really miss the search engines from the old tab page.

There has been much internal debate about this issue in the past which I will not reiterate here, except to summarize. Master passwords as implemented in other browsers provide more of an illusion of security than actual security. They also inconvenience users. Chrome uses the Windows crypto routines to encrypt local passwords, giving you some protection against remote data theft; for local data theft a master password wouldn't help."Alex Chituhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618542750965508582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-27445136665951445852009-07-13T07:35:11.313-07:002009-07-13T07:35:11.313-07:00Sorry for that:
