chrome turns out to be a let down - password handling is terrible

sare^baw's · 29 May 2011 at 11:32

i thought Chrome was the best thing since sliced bread a few months ago after moving from the slow IE browser, now im just so fed up with it, many sites dont offer to auto save and its nothing to do with exceptions as its empty, also i cant use Roboform because it slows the browser down on many sites too so without the use of good pasword managment im gonna have to try Opera now.

unless someone has a solution for this?

I've never experienced this problem. What sites don't offer autosave?

sare^baw's · 29 May 2011 at 11:49

i cant remember off the top of my head, i have googled it and done a lot of reading but it seems some sites have autosave and autofill disabled on there sites so apparently this is the reason chrome does not save your paswords.

gumtree is one that dont work

I love chrome's speed but I'm also getting angry with it because I can't work out how to get a website I use to play the music. I have the latest flash installed but nope...still not working.

Can I say the website or is it against some rules here ? I already got caned once for posting a link to somewhere else ...

oh and it does not work with ebay when you want to upload some pics you have to fire up another browser i just used IE for that.

Strange, I've had no issues with passwords being saved when using Chrome and I can't recall having any problems uploading images to ebay either?.

Anyhow, @Joey1988 - You can post a link to the website in question as long as it isn't a website that could be deemed a competitor to OcUK.

Firefox 4 is good, give it a try

I don't find chrome any quicker than FF

It does work with uploading images to eBay. Used it SEVERAL time myself.

well i dont know if is just random cause ebay help says chrome is not fully compatible with the beay software, i put a listing on a week ago and i could not get to submit my images, i had to start again using IE. Im not making it up i have read these issues on other sites whilst searching but its maybe not everyone who is having the problem.

Are you definitely on the newest version of Chrome? Like I said, I have never had a problem with it, in all the time I have used Chrome. And that's been since it was in beta.

Ah good ! The website is rapbasement.com

The videos load fine but the audio section doesn't work at all, the player loads but the length stays at 0 and nothing plays.

I used to use firefox and IE and both worked fine.

Works perfectly fine here but I'm using 13.0.772.0 Beta of Chrome.

[Edit] Ignore actually I read it wrong, Audio section doesn't work on Chrome. I don't see why it doesn't work though, I blame the website :x

11.0.696.71

is the one im using, it was the latest one when i downloaded it a couple of months ago, ill try your version and see if its any better.

sare^baw's · 30 May 2011 at 17:11

improvement right away, the passwords are working better although the like of gumtree does not offer to save

ebay image upload is fine now.

i had some sites where it only filled out my username and not the password but that is fixed now.

You could try the lastpass extension too
