Where do I begin...

>>56351937
Try looking harder. It's a deliberate design choice.

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=105666

>We're not going to do Firefox-style lazy tab loading, because when we tested it we were extremely frustrated with it. This isn't an issue of not thinking of it, or not listening to people suggesting it, not "taking you seriously", etc. We simply don't agree that the benefits of this are higher than the costs. One great thing about having multiple browsers is that other vendors can make different design tradeoffs and users can use other browsers when they find something that suits them better.
>For anyone still watching this bug, we've made a few rough improvements to our tab restore algorithm and are looking to refine it more. The ultimate goal is for session restore to be fast, leave the browser usable at all times, and stop loading tabs before the system becomes resource-contended, at which point any remaining tabs will be demand-loaded a la the Firefox option.

Apple antennagate style bullshit. "If you don't like how our thing runs, you're the problem."

It really is your problem, they just told you its too resource intensive and they don't want to do it, get Firefox or stop bitching, you sound like an entitled child.

>>56351937
They bump the version number for trivial changes and don't implement community desired features.

They're fucking terrible, but at least the browser isn't slow as shit like Firefox.

>>56352070
They also said there's other choices out there. Can't really fault then for this one.

>>56352042
It's ultimately up to the developer of a software to decide what features to add. Since Chromium is open source you can always fork it and add your own patches.

>>56351937
Chrome thinks their users are too dumb, because their target audience is the lowest-denominator - everyone. Their past design decisions reflect this. If you want features, you'll have to look at a proprietary fork like CentBrowser which has lazy loading. I'd advise against it though since it's Chinese.

>>56352052
Use Sleipnir then. It allows for your own custom userscripts.

Google hasn't done anything worth shit in 15 years

I don't care, I use Opera, i'm happy with it and my browser seeking days are over.

>they just told you its too resource intensive

You understood nothing. The whole point is to not use resources unless actually needed. What they said is it tends to confuse dumb users, and somehow not confusing dumb users (typical Chrome users) while pissing off power users (who would be better suited by Firefox anyway) results in a net positive for them.

This pissed me right the fuck off
