I deleted Chrome for now

Post Published:


Unfortunately for me, I had to delete, uh, uninstall, no not just that, actually delete files galore as well, Google Chrome.

I had to RESET every browser and it still didn’t solve my problems. Two of my scrobbler plugins were malfunctioning so badly, it was maddening. I also wasn’t able to login to PayPal one time and because of all this and the printing lack of headers issue I’ve blogged about before had me actually installing and using Firefox again, happily.

I could install Chrome again, but for now, I’m not going to. I can function OK this way.

On my tablet I had been using the Samsung browser more than the usual chrome lately too, since I have ad-blockers installed in that, which isn’t possible in Chrome on Android, the way I use my newer devices (no rooting.)

As it goes, my Sansa e280 has become a good friend to spend time with again. I listen for a while, Rock Box logs my scrobbles and later I submit them with QT Scrobbler or Rock Scrobbler, either works well. No trouble scrobbling that. But I do like listening to music from speakers loud, and not being able to use my mainstay method (Chrome Google Music, or the Google Music Desktop [that is a standalone chrome no official solution] )

So as I write this using Firefox, and playing music in same browser with my different older and usually OK scrobbler www.danielslaughter.com/projects/google-music-with-lastfm/ the last few songs of the album didn’t scrobble.

Hmph. Ongoing misery since my e280 has my own music on it, but Google Music is All Access and where much of what I WANT to listen to is.
