Ratings and reviews

Chrome became the premier web browser when it launched, because it was small, sleek, fast, and not bloated. Not the case anymore. It's a serious resource hog, and one of the fastest ways to drain a battery aside from social media apps. It frequently screws everything up, forcing you to force close it and reopen. A lot of the text suggestion pop-ups tend to be actively in the way of text boxes, so that sucks. It's functional, and probably still better than Edge, and faster than Firefox.

Chrome has been my go to browser for many years. It has worked well for just about everything I do. However, the sponsored results and ads have increased over time and now with the addition of the AI Overviews which can't be opted out of, I think I've had enough. Forcing the AI on all of your users is a horrible move in my opinion. Never thought I'd be using something else but here we are...

6/04 update: Nope! Still broken! Won't let you save bookmarks to a folder. It doesn't show the folder list, it only shows the last folder you used. Edit Bookmark feature does not give you an option to pick a folder. Trying to change bookmark folder it says "Chrome has stopped. Close App." App is also very slow with freguent freezes. Clearing cache and resetting Chrome doesn't help. Clearing app data doesn't help. Uninstall/reinstall doesn't help.
