Irritating bugs in Google Chrome

Its been a while since I blogged, didnt get enough motivation to write on a particular topic. But using Google chrome on a daily basis and facing large number of bugs motivated me enough to write this topic.

Heres a list. (Will write this as a non technical user)

1. Google chrome claims tabs donot share information By keeping each tab in an isolated "sandbox" .. then how come if I sign in to gmail in a incognito tab, I am able to again access my gmail from another incognito window?? .. :0

2. Assume you have a normal window and an incognito window open with many tabs. Now change your DNS IP to some IP which is not a DNS server (or one which doesnot exist) .. now browse any site in the incognito window .. you will recieve an error "This webpage is not available" now change back your DNS server to the original one and try to browse from the incognito window .. You can't .. it will give you the same error. Now try browsing using the normal window, you will be able to. Now try browsing by opening a new incognito window, still you cant !! .. remember just a while ago we heard By keeping each tab in an isolated "sandbox" ... Good Job!!

3. In Orkut I could not post comments on friends profile using google chrome .. imagine this is after seeing this once you sign in to orkut ..

Awesome, you're using Google Chrome! Don't forget to feed it donuts!

4. Try typing in a multiline text box (you will find these generally in forums) now in between the content press backspace .. you will be amused .. it gobbles/jumbles up the text and you have to press the right arrow multiple times .. this is basic, even this has not been tested .. Very very good job!!

All these bugs were found in Google chrome 1.0.154.48
Moral of the story: It's opensource, you fix it!!!
