Chrome keeps updating strange things for me. A week or two ago, for no reason I could determine, google instant turned itself on. No problem you say, just go to the wrench icon and turn it off.. However all of the controls in there were missing. I literally had no buttons to click or sliders to slide, haha. Made a bug report and a few days later it corrected itself.

Another quirk is how it never empties it's cache automatically, or doesn't provide a switch to tell it yes or no to empty the cache. So no problem, you go to tools and do it there. Now they've moved that very common item to an "advanced" section of settings. It's the one tool/setting that I use several times per day and now an extra click?

Also when I used to go to Plugins, it would open a new tab which was very convenient.
For some reason now when I need to adjust a plugin, it opens in window I already have opened for petes sake. Again, an added click to open a new tab is a weird upgrade IMHO.

Chrome also auto-updates the adobe flash plugin without giving the user the ability to use an older version. Which is terribly inconvenient considering that on millions of older machines, adobe flash has been buggy since the end of March.

I like Chrome, but I don't love it yet.
