Slightly slower page loads (5% times all day remember)

Less usable ctrl+tab behaviour for managing lots of tabs

20 second pause to start if not already running on many of my locked down systems over the years, seems to have been fixed in last year or so but perennial problem that was infuriating in the same way nag-ware delays are

F** with the extensions

Ongoing 'minor' user-unfriendly decisions to the actual users of the products to the point where it seems motivated to provide a not-quite-ideal result. In basketball there's a saying, watch the waist not the ball, which translates as watch what they are doing not what they are saying, and by doing this I've begun to realise the regular nature of these snafus is probably intentional (at a high level) and I theorise it's to keep Google's money flowing in by not being a serious competitor to average users who want the best usability.

etc etc

I had the pause problem about when you had it as well. For me the pause happened periodically, but it was for network requests IIRC, the rest of the browser worked fine, but pages wouldn't load a thing for quite a few seconds. I have not noticed the problem now for quite a few months at least. Since it looks like the pause went away at the same time, I think we had the same problem.
