Dear Google:
Every time you push out an update for my Chromebook, you default some (but not all) of my settings.\u00a0 I have certain pages at 125% view for a reason.\u00a0 Don’t change it.\u00a0
Yes, I know your programmers want to show off their clever innovations.\u00a0 That’s the Microsoft model.\u00a0 “See, we moved the button you need from the ribbon to a pull-down menu, isn’t that handy?”\u00a0 No.\u00a0 I had it there for a reason.\u00a0 Don’t change it.
And yes, I’m sure it is easier for you if everyone does everything the same.\u00a0 That’s the Apple model:\u00a0 “We know this isn’t what you wanted but we’re so smart we know what you should want, so that’s what you’re getting.”\u00a0 \u00a0No. I chose Chrome for a reason. Don’t be Apple.\u00a0 Leave my s*** alone.\u00a0
