Why I hate Google Chrome

Simple, really. Because it's already ruined a perfectly good word used for describing bits of a browser. I am specifying [something about a browser] and have used it to good effect several times in the last two days. Chrome is the stuff around the edge of the viewable area. The toolbars, scrollbars, status bars, and so on. But I am pretty sure it's already starting to confuse others, and people regularly email or IM me about "chrome" and I have to contextually figure out they mean "google chrome web browser." I have much the same argument with many of Apple's apps. Mail, for example is resolutely un-googleable. A convention has popped up to call it mail.app (which it sort of is, though the dot app bit is hidden usually), so you can actually tell when a discussion of it is happening, versus the USPS or email in general. But I am probably just an old curmudgeon.

Why does Opera Mini hate me so much?

That's what it feels like. I have been through... I forget, but 3 or 4 versions of Opera Mini on this phone. And a couple on my previous one. I forgive them for changing the featureset. So the manner in which bookmarks are displayed changes. And I got it when there are pre-populated bookmarks; that (and browser/homepage search) is where the money to pay for this comes from. But I do not like how every time I upgrade the software ignores everything that has gone before, especially bookmarks. This time I am particularly aggravated by this lack of upgrade path. Now that its out of beta, the beta browser yells at me all the time that I should upgrade. By manually typing, in a totally different browser. Actually, at least on mine, a link to a download would work out. And how hard can it be to go check out the config files from the previous install? So, after the always annoying install process for mobile software, I still have to rekey all my bookmarks, then uninstall the old version.
