1. [R1] Google 2/5 · US Read Aloud disappeared: To be honest, I don’t really like the Google app, I am just super used to safari and can’t change it but I heavily, HEAVILY, used it for the “Read Aloud” function (and it’s the only reason why I use the Google App). It was working just fine but the option suddenly disappeared the day before yesterday. I have already removed the app, reinstalled, removed shut down the phon
2. [R19] Google 1/5 · US Broken tab management: The AI/Gemini interface inside the Google App completely breaks basic tab management. When I click the "New Tab" button while inside an active AI thread, it fails to open a separate, additional tab. Instead, it completely ignores the command and overwrites my current thread. This destroys my active research progress and pollutes the AI's context window with unrelated questio
3. [R67] Google Chrome 1/5 · US New Update: This new update is infuriating. I don’t want Gemini at the bottom of my page, or anywhere near me. I don’t want the search and tabs bars to be disjointed. The fact we cannot return Chrome to how it was before the update, or remove Gemini from our bar!, is awful. Please give us the option to return back to the previous version of Chrome.
4. [R70] Google Chrome 2/5 · US Too much AI: I am sick of AI trying to guess what I’m thinking all the time. It tries to correct my technical word spellings (incorrectly of course) of course). Or suggests words that pop up and have no relevance and interrupts my train of thought that wastes my time. I feel like it’s gathering information from me so that it can “learn” but I don’t feel it’s my responsibility to be a teacher to t
5. [R9] Google 3/5 · US Nightstick291: Don’t like that I have to sign in all the time,and you have emails in 3 locations. Important , All mail,& regular email. I only want 1 place for my emails.
6. [R15] Google 3/5 · GB Google issues: Always ask to sign into stuff I only want to use google , why does it always ask for my email, phone no etc
7. [R88] Google Chrome 1/5 · US Keeps freezing: The app freezes when I exit it to reply to a text and then I swipe back to the app, it freezes and doesn’t want to work unless I close it completely and reopen it
8. [R111] Google Chrome 2/5 · US Keeps freezing: Freezes so many times a day and I always have to close the app and restart it. I honestly use it because it syncs with the rest of my chrome usage on desktop etc.
9. [R18] Google 3/5 · GB It’s good but one tiny problem: Google is great for trying to find the things you want to discover or search up. But there seems to be a recurring problem that it takes Google three or four attempts just to load searches. It always says that the website has even been permanently moved to a different website or you haven’t got Internet connection. I do have Internet connection and I think this is a
10. [R28] Google 1/5 · US Update bug: Now when I click on recent searches I’ve made, it no longer goes to those search results but just closes the window to where you most recently were. You have to hit the arrow all the way over to the side.
11. [R87] Google Chrome 3/5 · US Crash: Google Chrome “unexpectedly quits” a lot
12. [R100] Google Chrome 1/5 · US drains battery on iphone se 2nd: its super laggy and drains battery making phone hot
13. [R12] Google 3/5 · US Too many ads, privacy cookies and sales of personal data.: Way too much! People forget there are other, safer ways to search. Anytime I google something, it ends up in ads and emails with an hour. Not everyone wants a Gmail account.
14. [R39] Google 3/5 · GB Too many adverts: There is some interesting stuff pop up on google for me, I have no idea how or why, but many of the links are so full of adverts it’s almost unreadable. Advertisers know this: If I see you in my face unwanted I will never buy any of your products, ever!
15. [R81] Google Chrome 3/5 · US Ad city: Ad central
16. [R13] Google 1/5 · US I can’t make a new Google account for some reason.: Been trying to make a new Google account for me and my friends to start a YouTube channel Together. For some reason, o can’t get through to the next page for creating the account. I’m always stuff at a loading screen that ends up not loading. So frustrating. Maybe I’ll just ask them if they want to do instagram instead.
17. [R109] Google Chrome 1/5 · US Cutomer support: I was on phone for 3 hours to set up my ring camera. Two agents were a joke. After 2 hours guy said he would just may me a new camera. The one I had was new I was just trying to set up. I said no don’t you hang up on me I figured out how to make the camera work before they could what a joke. Train the dummies !!!
